S<\/span>truggling with finding motivation? See how Fit Father Glen did it at the young age of 57 \u2014\u00a0and turned his life around!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, even an impactful career and an otherwise good life aren't enough to motivate you to live healthily. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And this was the case with Glen Page, a proud educator for over 30 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He hit a point in his life where even his bright career was not making him happy, especially when he realized that his weight had increased to 205 lbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am 5\u2032 9-1\/2\u2033, and I'm like how did my weight creep up to 205? That was probably from years of just being too busy. I had transitioned to working as a school administrator, where I spent a lot of time as a desk jockey, just not getting up, not getting out and walking, not doing the things that I love to do.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Glen recalls how active he was in his younger days and how he ended up gaining the extra pounds amid his busy family and work life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a younger man, I was always hiking. I was a competitive swimmer in high school as well. But, between life happening, to kids, wife, everything else, I just slacked off and wound up putting on the pounds and found myself eventually just looking at it, going, you know, there's this gut here, there's this spare tire and love handles, that need to go away.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
