Chuck the Chunk; Road to Dad 2.0

We’re constantly on the go, whether it’s running in the park, barreling down the slide, taking a hike in the Sandia Mountains, splashing in the pool, or hunting dinosaurs (down by the Rio Grande).

Well Chunksters, here we are at day 20, and I am feeling pretty good. Today, I ended my day 400 under my calorie limit. Don’t get me wrong… I could so go for a grilled-pork steak and some macaroni salad, with a nice piece of chocolate cake. But, no worries. I had: some chicken, potatoes and then finished it all off …
