A few months ago, as I sat down for a family supper with the wife and kids, my son asked, "Dad, why don't you have your burger in a bun?" I didn't really have an answer. Other than "Dad's a little crazy." I've had a six pack for years. Veins everyday. I ate a regimented meal plan, for as long as I can remember, thinking all week about my cheat meal on Saturday nights. So I decided to make a change. Don't get me wrong, I still eat healthy but I no longer count every calorie. ...I no longer live my life on macro deadlines. I'm no longer afraid to eat ice cream on a Tuesday, order regular food off of a menu at a restaurant or have a glass of wine on a Wednesday (and Thursday). I now have a bun with family burger night. And what has happened? I might not be as lean as I was but I still have my veins. But more importantly, I'm stronger, have more energy, feel less stressed, and generally more happy overall. It took a 5 year old to teach me that a six pack doesn't mean sh*t if you sacrifice relationships, family outings, delete your social life, and miss out on stuff you're apparently trying to transform for. Fitness and health have to fit in balance with life. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Think about the life you really want and work towards achieving that in its entirety. Fitness is amazing but it doesn't have to be your sole focus of your life to create a happy one. #realtalk #teamKFIT #onlinecoaching #balance #fitdad #happywife #hardworkpaysoff #happyweekend #healthy #lifeisgood #fun #abs #veins #sweaty #getfit #workout #workinprogress

#MONDAYMOTIVATION Pretty tough to skip reps when little eyes are on you. No better motivation than setting a good example. If I can instill two things in him, one is to put in the work and preparation at whatever he wants to do in life. There are no short cuts. Anyone can achieve anything if they want it bad enough. The other is to have fun. Enjoy the ride and you're never to old to be silly and have a tickle fight. #setanexample #smile #enjoylife #dadlife #familyfirst #teamKFIT #onlinecoaching #dadswholift

I always have to get my sushi fix while in #vancity for another cross country date night. #yesimmarriedtoaflightattendant #datenight #sushi #postworkoutmeal #gainz #eeeeeats #foodstagram #foodporn #healthy #nutrition #eatclean #hungry #food #protein

A little awkward using the smith machine for these. I'd rather squat everyday but trying to stay well rounded. Pun intended #legs #lovehate #wisheverydaywasarmsday #dadlife #fitlife #family #balance

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!! I am thankful I get to spend time in the gym training not only myself but all of my great clients. Working out is a true therapy for me and I am thankful it became part of my life at an early age. I am most thankful for my wife and beautiful kids. @Toddy1981 is my rock that holds us all together and without her I wouldn't be where I am today. We are also thankful for our two beautiful, healthy kids. You know you're doing something right when you...r 4 year old asks for "healthy protein pancakes" every morning to get "arm muscles like dad". I'm also thankful for pie because who doesn't love stuffing themselves with Thanksgiving Day pie! That will be my real arm workout today! #fitness #thanksgiving #thankful #familyfirst #dadswholift #dadlife #workoutmotivation #fitlife #happy #fun #family

Trying to hang on to summer. Nothing better than sharing a couple soft serves with my favorite little man. Lots of quality time with mom on the road. #dadswholift #familyfirst #food #icecream #fun #theboys #fitlife #maketime #funwhenmomsaway
