Make sure you watch this video below. It really has a powerful message!

Forrest Gump dvd As for me, I had a great workout this afternoon. I got to the gym at 11am instead of my usual 12pm this morning as my wife came home for lunch early so she let me out early, lol

Thanks to my properly designed Dad Fitness workouts I can get to the gym, warm up, workout, stretch and drive home, all within an hour to be back home to resume my daily duties as a stay at home dad with my baby daughter so my wife can head back to work.

…and I only need to do this workout 3 times a week so I don’t have to worry about fitting in a workout everyday!

Here is Day 1 of the new workout routine I started today that I will do for the next 3 weeks.

Day 1-Max Effort Upper Body

Weighted Dips, 1 max set of 3-5 reps
Flat DB Bench Press, 4 sets of 6-10 reps
Bent Over BB Row, 4 sets of 10-15 reps
Bent Over Cable Raise, 3 sets of 10-12
BB Side Bends, 3 sets of 8-12 reps

I have been feeling really good lately with my workouts and I am thankful that I have found the proper balance between family, fitness and fun by following the Dad Fitness Lifestyle.

If YOU find yourself feeling stressed about your health, wealth and happiness during these tough economic times you need to watch this video!

There is nothing like a little perspective to show you that if you take a minute to just look around, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING…

Let me know what you do to keep things in perspective by posting a comment below.

I would love to hear your opinion!

I sincerely hope you’re having a great weekend with your family and friends.

We had a fun day as it was Matea’s first Easter and it seems like Easter is the new Christmas, according to all the gifts she got!

Our friends knitted her the cute yellow outfit you see in the pics.

She is too young to dig into any chocolate bunnies yet but we did let her taste one of those yellow marshmallow “Peeps” or should I just call them yellow sugar.

As for me I am not a big fan of cheap sweet chocolate like you find in “Mr. Solid”. I honestly prefer to enjoy a small piece of 85% rich dark chocolate that is actually good for you and great after a meal with a cup of green tea.

We got up this morning and headed to church and then my wife’s parents had an Easter egg hunt all setup for Matea at their house and we had lots of fun deciphering the clues trying to find the hidden treasures.

Then we all enjoyed an early Easter dinner with a big juicy turkey with all the trimmings. I had a little chocolate cake for dessert and that was that.

I don’t feel guilty about eating what I want on the weekends because I know that I will be back to eating healthy meals and doing my Dad Fitness Workouts come Monday.

Eat good healthy food 90% of the time and do 3 short fat loss workouts a week and you can burn off that belly fat and be a fit father while still enjoying the foods you love.

I never planned a workout today with all the Easter festivities but I will workout tomorrow and am excited to SPRING into another week of livin‘ the

Dad Fitness Lifestyle…

I hope you are enjoying March Madness as much as me!

…and NO I am not talking about basketball.

I am talking about enjoying the start of the spring season with your family by getting out and being active, no matter where you live.

Spring is still a ways away here in Labrador, Canada, but any days above zero is good for me!

So this weekend my family and I headed down to our friends cabin for the night to enjoy the warm March temperatures, do some snowmobiling, snowshoeing and even a little ice fishing…but we didn’t have much luck with the fish.

I had a few nibbles on my hook but the fish just weren’t hungry I guess.

But everyone else sure was… so when we got back to the cabin I fired up the BBQ, opened up a cold beer and grilled everyone steaks and turkey sausage, Mmmmm…

Good Food, Good Times…That’s what the Dad Fitness Lifestyle is all about!

Our 10 month old baby daughter Matea really enjoyed her FIRST snowmobile ride and also loved watching the Grey Jays land in Daddy’s hand for a bite of cheese!

Stop eating like a bird to lose weight and start LIVING the Dad Fitness Lifestyle…

Today was workout day for me, and I really look forward to my 3 Dad Fitness workouts a week.

My wife comes home for lunch on Tuesdays and Thursday so I can get out of the house for a break and head to my local gym for an hour. I also get a workout in on the weekends.

I must admit I absolutely love working out! I always have and especially now I found it to be a great stress reliever and a nice break in the middle of my long days as a stay at home dad.

I had a really great workout today as it was my Upper Body High Rep day in my current workout routine.

The Blast Straps are an awesome way to challenge your entire body no matter what exercises you are doing. You can use them for pushups, inverted rows, triceps, biceps, abs or pretty much any bodyweight exercise can be replicated with the blast straps.

I gotta tell you after using these for the first time awhile back doing pushups my abs were sore for 3 days afterward!

Blast Strap Pushups, 3 sets of 12 reps, 60 sec rest
Lying Dumbbell Tricep Extensions, 4 sets of 5-10 reps
Pull-Ups, 4 sets of 8-12 reps
Preacher Curls, 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Ab Circuit, Cross body mountain climbers and Planks, 2 rounds

You can get the Blast Straps here

Then it was back home for a post workout meal of my wife’s tasty homemade chicken soup. Go here for the recipe ==>Mmmm Soup

With no workout scheduled for today I am busy at home with our baby daughter.

Feeding her, changing her, putting her down for a nap, cooking and cleaning, repeat cycle until wife comes home…

Just another day living the Dad Fitness Lifestyle.

But I certainly know I had a workout yesterday as my hamstrings are sore as hell from all the leg work!

After we all had breakfast and my wife headed off to work I got started on prepping dinner while Matea was playing in her exersaucer in the kitchen.

On today’s Dad Fitness Menu is Enchiladas. Made with wholesome and healthy ingredients that will rival any artery popping Enchiladas at your local Chilis, Fridays, Tuesdays or whatever they call some of these restaurants these days!

You can feel good about feeding your family REAL food that everyone will love and will keep you burning off that belly fat with your workouts.

Just be sure to keep the portions under control and have one Enchilada with a side salad.

That’s the SECRET to eating good food and staying fit!

Here’s the recipe.

• 1 pound extra lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 6 whole wheat tortillas
• 2 cups low fat shredded cheese
• 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
• 1 can of black beans

*Feel free to add some diced bell peppers or chopped spinach if you want to increase the nutritional value. Your kids will never know;-) I was all out so I used what I had.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium skillet over medium high heat, cook the ground beef and onion until beef is evenly browned and onion is tender.
2. Prepare the enchilada sauce according to directions.

   Healthy Homemade Enchilada Sauce

1. Heat oil in large 2-quart saucepan; stir in flour and chili powder cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
2. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. On each flour tortilla, place an equal portion of the ground beef mixture and about 1 ounce of Cheddar cheese, reserving at least 1/2 cup of cheese.
   

4. Then tightly roll the tortillas and place seam side down in the baking dish.

5. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and olives.

6. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is thoroughly melted.

Serves 6.
