Getting well was an easy idea for Duff Goldman.
“I am 48 years old. I have a two year old. You do the math,” he tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, which is on newsstands now.
Duff and his wife Johnna welcomed their daughter Josephine in 2021. As Josephine grew older and more mobile, Duff made some lifestyle changes to keep up with her.
At his Los Angeles home on the set of his PEOPLE, Duff looks down at the black T-shirt he’s wearing and explains, “This was the first shirt that didn’t fit him. So I hung it next to my treadmill for motivation.”

Now he starts every morning enjoying the sunrise while working out in his outdoor gym.
“Making the right decisions becomes much less of a chore because you’re making those decisions for someone who’s relying on you,” he says, referring to Josephine.
Duff – who lost 40 lbs. in six months — documented his journey on his fitness Instagram, @beefcakecookie. She shows fans how she balances her diet while making (and tasting) baked goods for a living.
He shared, for example, that before traveling to a food festival, he prepared a meal for the 48 hours he would be away — and even ate his meal while in the air.
“I’ve noticed that if I put my feet on the floor and do my first task of the day (drink a glass of water) as soon as I wake up, everything else becomes smooth from then on,” he wrote in another Instagram post. “If I don’t drink water and go straight to coffee, I’ll realize I’m a little mentally retarded all day. As they say, make your bed every morning to do the first thing. It’s really important.”
“I think that’s why an early morning workout sets the stage for the rest of the day to be great,” he added.
