Dad Tough

Now I check the protein before I check the price. 😂

Trying to get in the best shape of my life while apparently being one bad night of sleep away from needing physical therapy. 😂

Being in your 40s is a weird place.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s woken up injured from…sleeping. 🤦‍♂️

I’m not trying to be 25 again.

At 46, I actually appreciate getting older a lot more than I used to.

What I don’t want is to give up my strength, mobility and energy any sooner than I have to.

I want to travel with my wife. Keep up with my kids. Lift heavy things. Hike. Run. Play. And hopefully still be doing all of it decades from now.

I can’t stop getting older.

But I can train for it. 💪

Ran into a fellow dad at the gym I hadn’t seen in a while.

We both finished our workouts at the same time…so naturally this had to happen. 😂💪

Nothing serious. Just two dads trying to stay strong, healthy and capable for as long as we can.

Getting older is mandatory. Getting old before we have to isn’t.

And yes, apparently grown men still need to flex when there’s a mirror nearby. 😂
