He wondered how much he would weigh if he didn’t exercise at all and ate the way some of his friends ate.

He also wondered if he didn’t focus on rest like some of his friends, how much that would add to his weight.

Family time or exercise?

Both, even with extremely limited time.

Windermere 5k one morning, gym afterwards, dinner together at Epcot later, a serious father/son talk, and five mile run yesterday.
