Went From Always Tired to Actually Energized

Lost 80 lbs and got back into CrossFit after my second kid was born. Used to be too tired to play with the boys properly. Now I'm running around the yard with them, not wheezing after 5 minutes. Miss eating whatever I wanted honestly and sleeping in without guilt. But having energy to actually be present? That's the real win. My wife says I'm a different person and she's right.

This is the transformation that matters. Being energized and present with your kids beats any other win. Respect to you for making it happen.

Did your kids notice the change right away or did it take them a minute to realize dad could actually run around with them again?

CrossFit is brutal but it sounds like it's given you the energy back that parenting had drained. How much time are you spending at the gym each week?

80 pounds is insane. That takes serious dedication with two kids at home. I bet they're pumped that you can actually keep up with them now instead of just watching from the sidelines.
