My dad is a pack-a-day smoker. Marlboro lights. Do you see why I want to make over his diet? As far as exercise goes, I will say that aside from walking to/from the house to the shop, and lifting/working on cars/trucks... my dad is pretty sedentary. He's a naturally thin man, always has been. I can't say he's never lightly active, but I guarantee you he's never just taking a walk for leisurely purposes.
I am so PUMPED to start this project! :)
Your dad's daily routine sounds so much like my dad's! My dad steers away from anything that isn't processed. I'm trying to introduce fresh veggies into his diet and convince him that a walk around the neighborhood would do him much more good than harm.
ReplyDeletewhat are creamy tacos? that actually sounds good? LOL
