How did becoming a parent affect your life? Did your workouts change? Were you spending the same amount of time in the gym? How did your life change, good or bad?
MAN you went thru alot with your kids!! sorry to hear about your girl.II love talking about my kids. To put it simply, I belong to them. I am dad above all other things and I would never change that for anything. Being a father is simply the most rewarding experience I have ever had.
I wasn't training/bodybuilding at all when my first son was born. I had let myself go a bit. I was in construction and drank beer daily after work. He was born premature and spent his first 61 days in the NICU weighing less than 2 pounds. He came home on a monitor and feeding tube. I was terribly afraid for him and it changed my life. I went back to the gym to become a better role model for him and I competed for the first time when he was 2 years old.
Jump forward to today… He’s 13 years old and 5’10” 130lbs. He is a superstar, football, basketball, track, good grades and he is the kindest most thoughtful kid you could ever meet. And truly the light of my life..! Our 2nd child died shortly after birth. She was also premature. It was very difficult. I have another wonderful 8 year old miracle child who I could go on and on about. He nearly drowned a while back and a young man died in the process of saving his life, a tragedy, a miracle…. Life’s rich pageant
God bless
