Show Me What you Working With

Front , back , side to side .. Front front back back side to side. So my plan is to take a photo everyday for 1 year (and hopefully 75 lbs lighter) With the following poses. Front:


Back:(whoops wish my photographer told me my crack was showing)


Side to:


Side:


At the end if the year, I will be making a short video showing my (hopefully) positive changes to my body. After looking at these photos I see a small window of hope for a nice body. My arms are a little defined, my chest is big, but underneath the fat is a lot of muscle. I swear it's there. You'll see. Potential Jan. 2012 picture:


Cheers to Change!

A look at the Past & Future

In light of the holiday spirit, I wanted to take a look at the past, present, and future if I don't change my chubby lifestyle. The Ghost of my Past: Keep in mind I ate like crap, but worked out for about 3 hours a day due to football and wrestling practice:


I was weighing about 180lbs at this point. Those were the days. Back on these days I thought I would be touring the world with my boy band or joined Nsync by now (we were gonna kick out Chris or Joey) for me.


Damn we looked good!!! Clear and Present Danger: Current weight : 270 lbs Well my dreams have been reduced to a rock band because you don't have to have boyish good looks to be the front man of a band ( too bad the world will never know my superior dance moves). Look at Radiohead. I love Thom Yorke but he ain't easy on the eyes.





Ghost of Danger's Future: 300+ lbs: I don't want to be this guy:


Although he does look happy! So it's time to continue playing music, but also focus on working out. The future is ugly if I do say so myself and I can't think of one morbidly obese frontman. Well maybe just one:

The Team Members

Behind every great president is a great first lady. Lucky for me, if I ever decide to run for president I got that part down, now I just need to get into Harvard. My First Lady and the one whose support will affect me the most is my lovely wife: Bianca Farina - wife


Gorgeous I know. Bianca will be the one helping me by cooking and preparing smaller portions for me. She will have to cut down on a lot of junk food as well (so I'm not the only one suffering). Michelle and Stephanie Farina- My Sisters


Michelle and Steph are my fellow coworkers and sharer of snacks. If I'm going to be watching what I'm eating, they'll be the ones watching me. There job is to keep an eye on me at work and to slap junk food out of my hands at work (I wont be surprised if they take a bite too). The A-team Frank and Scoop





These two are the ones that will whip my butt into shape, whether it be from working out with me at the gym, taking me to jujitsu class, or simply playing a sport with me recreationally. Well that is my star studded team for now. I know there are more people that will help me out and once they do, will hopefully be up on here one day. Happy New Year! Let's hope this resolution sticks! Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

2011 Resolution

What's your new years resolution? If you're anything like me your list will look something like this:

Lose Weight.

Save Money.

Help around the house more often.

Go for a walk everyday.

Work less.

My resolution usually last about 2 weeks before they've all managed to be broken. Especially the 1st two :(. I've been trying to lose weight... trust me, but I can never keep it off. I'll lose 10-20 lbs here and there, but gain it back pretty quickly. So why am I here today?

I want to make a real resoultion and stick to it.

Who am I?

Hi. My name is Daniel Farina though my friends call me Danny. I actually get called Danger a lot too, because well... Danger is my middle name. I am a newly wed, here take a look at this pic:

Cute huh? Yes, I know my wife is beautiful. I am a lucky man. Enough about her, we're here to talk about me and why I'm here.

The Goal:

I currently weigh 270 lbs!

Things that weigh close 270 lbs:

36 newborn babies!

1 baby elephant!

32 gallons of water!

6 45lbs weights on a bench press (without the bar).

5 45lbs weights on a bench press (with the bar)

Lebron James (250 lbs) 6'8"

Brian Urlacher (260 lbs) 6'4"

Me (270 lbs) 5'8"

Unless I plan on joining an Elephant parade or grow 12 inches and learn to shoot some three pointers, I don't think this weight is a good thing.

So my current goal is to shed some of those babies and get down to about 200 lbs. That sounds reasonable for now.

Come New Years Day I will begin monitoring my eating and workout habits and sharing them with you. If I workout on a treadmill, elliptical, eat at McDonalds you will know about it. I believe that Weight Watchers (which I have tried more than once) has it right. If you write down everything you eat and have a food journal, you're bound to notice what you are eating and stop snacking on junk food etc. Let's hope this works.

I'll be posting more specific goals like going viral with pictures and reasons on why I am doing this in the near future so be sure to check back!

Good to meet you.

Danger
