From couch potato to actually working out - 18 months in

When my oldest was born I just let myself go completely. Got up to like 230 lbs, didn't recognize myself in photos. Last year my wife basically gave me an ultimatum, not about my weight but about my energy and being present with the kids. Started going to the gym at 5am before they wake up. Down 35 lbs now and I actually have energy to play with them instead of just sitting there. Weird how it took becoming a dad to make me care, then it took my wife calling me out to actually do something about it. Still a work in progress but man what a difference.
