Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm a single mom. He's a single dad. In theory, we should have something in common, right? Wrong. When I receive a phone call from my daughter's school, I'm shocked to find my sweet little girl has been in a fight. Hauled to the principal's office to straighten things out, I find myself sitting next to none other than my first kiss-Tyler Daniels-the man who'd taught me the meaning of trouble. After living the high life in NYC, Tyler's back in town to ruin me all over again. This time-the joke's on him. I'm older and (sometimes) wiser, and after my last failed relationship, I'm in no mood to have my pigtails pulled. Not even when Tyler decides to try that kissing thing all over again. However, Tyler's gotten a lot better at that kissing thing, and when one steamy kiss leads to the next, I suddenly find myself thinking about Tyler Daniels and his smoking hot dad bod at the worst of times. Even if his presence in my home town will run my beautiful little inn right out of business. When push comes to shove, however, Tyler Daniels and I are not cut out to be friends-and I'm not sure we're ready for more.

One is getting back on the dating scene. It's not what I expect, but I have a hard time saying no to her. I'm not only losing my dad bod but my man card too. All it takes is two disastrous dates and several awkward situations for me to realize who I really want to show all my tools to is right in front of me. Busting my ass in the gym every day. Maybe I should have concentrated just as much on protecting my heart as I have my abs. Jordan is out of my league, and my goal is to get on her level.

Download or read book Death Blow to the Dad Bod written by Craig James and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Dad Bod is a Problem... You Are The Solution I know. This is a hard truth to hear. After all, it's not like you set out to have a body you're less than satisfied with. Yet, here you are. You got married; had kids. Your responsibilities rapidly stockpiled. Caring for your body was snuffed out by your responsibility to care for the lives of others. These are noble intentions, to be sure, but even the most noble intentions can lead to very regrettable consequences. The consequences of your actions (and inaction) have now become impossible to ignore. The days, weeks, months and years have gone by. Your body fat slowly climbed, your muscles have deteriorated, you've slid into a state of complacency, and you feel like a fraction of the man you once were. Death Blow to the Dad Bod is the solution for taking ownership over the mediocrity you're displaying to the world with your body. You will learn exactly what to do to get a lean, strong, masculine physique: What to eat How much to eat When to eat it How to train your body to shed fat and build muscle simultaneously When to perform cardio and weights for maximum effectiveness How to apply the most important training principle every time you train How to track your results What to do to eliminate any fat loss plateau And more... I get it. You feel like you've heard all this before. I'm not going to tell your itching ears what they want to hear for the sake of selling more copies of my book. I believe a man's reputation is worth more than any amount of money. So, here's the 100% honest truth. This system will work for every man who is willing to commit to following the instructions it provides. You put in the work, and you'll get the results you're after. That's my promise to you. The other promise I will give you is the promise that what I'm offering you won't be easy. I realize this doesn't help to sell books, but it's the truth. Anybody selling you on the idea that building a body you can be proud of is easy is being dishonest. If you embark on this mission it will likely be one of the most difficult things you've ever committed to. I've broken the process down into a very simple and easy to follow action plan. It's the day-to-day decision to feed your body and train it for success that will test how genuine your desire for change truly is. Finally, I will promise you that the end result is well worth every bit of sacrifice it takes to earn it. I've yet to have any man approach me after destroying his dad bod to tell me that it was a poor decision. Every single one of them would do it again without any hesitation. Until you've tasted life on the other side it's impossible to comprehend how profound the difference truly is. No amount of words can do it justice. What I'm offering you right now is the opportunity to experience it for yourself. Are you ready to see what's possible?

What is that myth trying to tell us? And what is it trying to sell us? Dad Bod is a clever, riveting collection of essays about father figures in popular culture. From Gandalf to Homer Simpson, Die Hard to The Mandalorian, these essays unpack the tropes that inform our collective image of fatherhood. Follow Cian Cruise, newly minted dad, as he riffs on the stereotypes and lore of fatherhood, traces a contemporary art history of dads in popular culture, and journeys to the heart of dadness to become a better father.
