Dad On Fire! Step 1

Posted on January 6, 2012 by

     So you wanna be a buff dad?!  Splendid!!  We’re so psyched you’re joining us!  

     The first step Mike and I did was take his “before” pictures.  Here’s a link to a fun blog I wrote about taking the right pictures, before we get you buff.  http://www.larysafit.com/blog/uncategorized/how-to-take-the-right-before-picture/.  In addition, you need to take your measurements.  Here are Mike’s:

1/4/12
Wt-266.6
Chest-45
Abs-47
Quads-27
Arms-14.5
Should-51.5
Forearms-12.5
Calfs-15

     We’re going to be weighing Mike every Wednesday in the morning.  Pick a day and time that you want to weigh yourself weekly.  You can write it down in a journal, or if you have an iPhone, iPad or Droid download the TargetWeight app.  It’s awesome at keeping a record and graphing your weight.  Lol yes there’s an app that graphs your weight!  When you take your measurements take them around the “belly” of the muscle.  For example, for your calfs it’s the part that sticks out the most.  For your stomach, take it around where your belly button is.  Pull firmly but not too tight.  Keep a record of your measurements because we’ll take them again in 4 weeks!

     You’ll be keeping a food log which is really the only way to keep honest and achieve your goals.  It’s about accountability.  So you can write them down, put them under “memo” in your blackberry or email them to yourself.  You can also download the “My Fitness Pal” app for the iPhone and Droid.  It rocks.  I like keeping my journal where I can see it.  Even on your calendar!

     Post your “before” pictures on FB or send them to me at larysa@larysadidio.com and I’ll keep them under lock and key until your “after” pics.  Or you can keep them in your iPhone with a crazy ass password that no one will ever guess ;) .  But sharing helps everyone else doing the program!  Follow us to keep up with the program!
