Coach Charles :)
 

I signed up to coach my daughter in soccer this season. This was a goal of mine when I started my weight loss. I was too out of shape to do it before and did not want to embarrass Katy. She may not have been embarrassed, but I had that fear - so I never did it. Anyway, here is a picture of the first game.

Lastly, one of me at the start of trying to get fit and healthy so I could coach Katy...

Boy it has been a long road from where I started. I still have a ways to go, but boy the trip has been great so far. Many a trip to the gym, many a mile walked and jogged and many a health meal eaten. Like I say, I have a ways to go but boy the trip is so worth it. :D

Congratulations Charles! It looks like fun:D

Thanks for the pictures. I like seeing a little more of the lives of our "online" personalities. Your daughter is so cute and l you look pretty cute yourself;)

Congratulations Charles ~ for reaching this goal. Glad you can get to enjoy these fun things with your daughter now.

Charles - congrats on reaching a major goal!! I LOVE that second picture of your daughter!! That's a keeper, she looks like she has the same kind of personality as my son. :)

Congrats Charles!

Coaching one of my daughters teams is a goal that i have set for myself also!

Seeing your pics helps me re-affirm that *I* can do it too! :)

Thanks so much

Hi Charles,
I'm coaching my daughter's team this season too. It is so much fun. I'll bet your daughter loves having you as her coach!

Way to go, Charles! I bet your daughter is just thrilled.

Congratulations on meeting your goal. I bet you and you daughter will have a great time. I love soccer. I don't play but watch it and cheer for my son. He saved is allowance and bought his first soccer ball at the age of 7, that was 20 years ago.

coaching is great fun i coached a kids rugby team for 3 years. its amazing i live in the country that invented soccer and i hate the game. bad memories of staning out in the snow wind rain and hale. on the side of hill with my legs turning blue, and unable to feel my hands or feet. mind you looks like you have great weather at the moment.

coaching is such great fun i'm even doing a degree in it. good luck for the season

What an awesome goal! Congratulations for reaching it! I bet you daughter is thrilled!

Wow I missed this!! Too busy exercising to read these days!!

It must be so great to just look like a "normal dad" and be able to do really gerat things like this.

Your daughter will be so proud of you when she looks back on this when she's older!

Thanks everyone. This is such a great site. There are just so many great folks. If I can ever help anyone, please let me know. We can all reach our goals!
