INSANITY Before And After (The Daddy Transformation)

4/4/2012

12 Comments

 
Picture
It's official! I began my Insanity Before And After transformation from flabby dad to daddy fab 3 days ago and want to announce it on my regular blog. The above criminal looking photo (bandaid not a prop) was taken on Sunday to show how chubby and pale I really am.  Keep in mind I used to dance now I eat. I have started a second blog (Insanity Before And After) which will last the time frame of my transformation to document the journey with daily photos and a blurb of my experience for that day to force total accountability.  
Here are the 3 reasons I am doing this.

1. I Need Help
Let's face it I can't ask my wife to help push me because she is on the same sinking ship as me. We have 2 young kids who still don't sleep the night and the both of us are feeling the effects of sleep deprivation. So, I figure if I put it out there in the internet then others will be able to comment and send the supportive motivation I was looking for.  In addition maybe others will be inspired to join in. 


2. Regain My Health
I don't think I am unhealthy but I truly feel better about myself after eating right and working out regularly. I haven't worked out regularly in nearly 3 years. Also, my father passed away at a young age (55) and I am trying my very best to live a LONG life to raise my kids and hopefully help raise theirs (for a few hours a month) when the time is right.

3. It's Fun To Have A Goal
What better and more fun way can you think of to force myself to reach a goal of losing the daddy gut (and getting a tan) than putting myself in front of the public? I mean talk about accountability. Posting that 1st photo into the public was not easy even for my narcissistic ass. And, even though there are a ton (no pun intended) of people that are in worse shape than me I hate the way I look above. I don't mean the face. I like the face. Minus the bandaid of course. 

So those are the reasons... I am sure there are more but I better get to Insanity before the guy above gets fatter and whiter.

Please leave any comments you have below. I welcome them all. And please check back daily at the blog INSANITY Before And After TRANSFORMATION for new hopefully thinner pics of me.

Until Tomorrow,

Jai

Jai, I already saw the new b log - and thought that you are a very brave man. Mainly for putting this picture up for all to see - I don't even dare to stand infront of the mirror (well, I do but than I keep my eyes closed). Need to join you very soon - otherwise I'll soon look like Jabba the Hutt on a good day and feel even worse.

First, I want to commend you for having the balls to put up your photo. You're being real, and I really like that.

Second, in spite of the flab, you still look strong and healthy. But, I know that you want to lose the flab for health reasons.

Third, you might have to change more of your daily habits. Instead of working out 3 times a week, work out 5 times a week. Eat more vegetables as snacks. Drink more water and juices. These might be starting points, Otherwise, way to go.

Thank you so much. It's actually 7 times a week for the duration of the program. Today is number 4. As for food you are so right and have been implementing them as we speak.

The tough part is this weekend is filled with dinner out. Last night I did pretty good but it's tough still. Thanks for cheering me on and whenever you are ready I will cheer you too.

I wish you the best. You are a brave man for posting pics. But I think ultimately it will help you because you are now accountable!

Very accountable but do you want to hear the best news??? It has inspired my wife to push herself. She now has gone to the gym 2 days in a row. :)

If you were a software engineer I would have said that you are perfectly fit but since you have been a professional salsa dancer, I would say - where is the six pack?
