Yesterday my dad approached me and said that he really cannot wait to start walking again, the cold weather has been a hassle but it will not stop him as the warm weather arrives. He claimed that he felt so much better when he was walking and this off time has caused him to realize a physical and emotional difference, I encouraged him to "get back out there". I am very excited to see what he will accomplish. This project has made him want to take up more activities such as coaching a little league t-ball team for my little sister. He always coached my 18U team every summer but now he has more energy to take on another team. I am very proud of my dad, I cannot even describe my feelings. This project has lead my dad to see what a life without pop can do for a person and whether the weight loss is a simple process or a drawn out one, I truly believe that someday in the near future he will reach his goal weight by pure motivation and hard work.
