The Fatherhood Fitness Podcast is hosted by Anthony Pluff. Each week we'll dive into various topics that dads struggle with and uncover practical solutions that you'll be able to apply right away.
161: Why You Keep Losing Motivation to Lose Weight
You know you need to lose weight. You want more energy. You want to get stronger.
And you’ve probably proven that you can do it… at least for a few weeks.
Then life gets busy, motivation disappears, workouts get skipped, eating gets off track, and before long you’re telling yourself you’ll start again Monday.
So how do you finally break that cycle?
In this episode, I explain why relying on motivation keeps setting you up to start over, and what you need instead if you want to make progress even when work is stressful, the kids’ schedules are packed, and fitness is the last thing you feel like doing.
We’ll talk about the three pieces of the Fatherhood Fit Method:
The Nutrition Anchor
The Movement Minimum
The Reset System
You don’t need a plan that only works when you’re motivated. You need one that still works when life gets messy.
If you’re tired of losing the same 20 or 30 pounds and starting over every few months, this episode is for you.

160: Consistency Gets Easier When You Remove Decisions
If you’re making decisions about your health all day long, it’s no wonder consistency feels so hard.
What am I eating? When am I working out? What workout should I do? What’s for dinner? When am I getting my steps in?
By the end of the day, you’re tired, hungry, and trying to make good decisions on the fly.
In this episode, I break down why you might not need more discipline. You might just need fewer decisions.
We’ll talk about how to make your calories, protein, workouts, and steps more predictable, why structure doesn’t have to mean rigidity, and how having a minimum version of your plan can keep one busy day from turning into another week of starting over.
You can’t make your entire life predictable. But the more predictable you make the things you can control, the easier consistency becomes.

159: You Don’t Need More Information. You Might Need Help.
You probably already know you need to eat better, exercise, and move more. So if you’ve been trying to lose the same 20 or 30 pounds for years, more information probably isn’t what you’re missing.
In this episode, I talk about why knowing what to do isn’t the same as knowing how to change, why so many dads struggle to ask for help, and why trying to figure everything out on your own can keep you stuck much longer than necessary.
If you’re tired of starting over and you’re not sure what needs to change, I also explain how a free Gameplan Call can help you identify what’s getting in the way and figure out what to focus on next.
