I got this! Lessons from my 5 year old

My son taught himself to ride his bike sans training wheels this last week. Before he started he said "I got this" to himself. 

Andy conquered his fear with confidence and again showed me I can do the same. 

The weight loss has slowed down which is expected (I think) but what continues to move is my BMI. I'm not to where I want to be yet but I've made the changes in my lifestyle where I can continue to eat clean and change my body being healthy for myself and my family. I got this... Thanks Andy!

I'll get better with practice

I was watching my 5 year old playing a dune buggy raveling game on my iPhone yesterday. He was singing quietly to himself while racing but very focused. A minute passed and I watched him come in 4th place... I was ready for tears and frustration from that tiny human, but he shrugged it off and started again.

I asked him if he was upset that he didn't finish first, he looked me square in the eye and said "No daddy but I'll get better with practice!" Something Angela and I have probably said to him dozens of times... so first... parenting win! My kid does listen to me! 

Secondly though he's right. All things get better with practice as long as you shrug it off and move forward. This totally ties back to our journey, practice, practice practice it's not about finishing first (at least right now) it's about practice, learning from our 4th place finishes, shrugging them off and getting back at it. 

Thank you Andy, who knew I would be learning life lessons from my 5 year old!
