I am helping my dad with setting up his blog. My dad is embarking on an incredible journey to lose weight. His destination after this? Havasu Falls of course! My dad loves the southwest and Havasu Falls is the one place he has yet seen. He uses pictures of the falls as his motivator. This is no easy task. The total round trip hike is 20 miles to 24 miles. I know my dad will accomplish this goal. I believe in him. Look at the gorgeous view that he will get to see!
My dad has struggled with his weight all his life. He does really well when he is focus, but throw a stress wrench in there and it's all over. So here's the good news! My daddy gets to have the lap band surgery February 6th. I am soooooooooooooo excited about this that I can barely contain my excitement! I truly believe this is the one tool that will help him, along with the support groups, and of course my mom and I being his cheerleaders all the way! I am committed to helping my dad because he has always done and continues to do so much for me and supports me in decisions I have made and will make. I will be attending some, if not all the support group meetings so I can help encourage him at work and even outside of work.
Starting today dad can only have 1000 calories per day until February 5th. Not sure what all will happen the day of or after, but I or dad will be keeping you up to date along the way. Can't wait to see what he will look like this time next year! I will post a before pic here soon.
So join in the journey. Drop a positive comment here or there on his blog. Follow this blog too (see right)! Put on your walking shoes, cause baby we're doing this!! :) I think you'll all join me when I say "GO FOR IT DAD! You can and you will do it!"
PS - The song you're hearing "Eye of the Tiger" is a song that I can remember not only from watching all the Rocky movies with dad, but a song he used for his own walking and to motivate him while he walked. I had to put it on here. Plus some other motivation music that I picked out.
