It's not what you lose, it's what you gain

We just got back from a camping trip at Dinosaur Valley State Park, where we hiked, biked, went fishing, and climbed up and down steep river beds to hunt dinosaur tracks. We took a three-hour canoe trip down the Brazos river, stopping now and again to play in the water and enjoy the scenery.

We had a blast.

Even though someone wasn't happy about appearing in photographs.

Whenever we attend a Beachbody event, we inevitably hear from people who have lost 50, 60, sometimes 100 pounds working out at home. They are inspiring stories, for sure. But one thing most of those people say is that it's not about the weight that they lost, it's about everything that they gain by having a healthy body back. Being able to play football with their kids, going hiking, or dancing again.

If Zach and I had to pick the primary reason for eating well and staying in shape, keeping up with our kids would be reason number one. We want to be able to show them the ropes and give them a run for their money well into our 40s, 50s, and 60s. We can't wait to take the kids on a mountain bike trail or run a 5K with them. We don't want to be on the sidelines, wishing we could do more.
