As stated in the previous post, Tiffany and I are going to be going through a rather aggressive fitness regiment, over the next three months. For Tiffany, who is already a fitness nut (she will work out an average of 2-3 hours a day), this is more a routine to make her physique more defined. For me, this is going to be a program to lose weight, as well as define my muscles. Our middle daughter, Briana, is also going to join in the experiment. Briana has always been our "cuddly" daughter, and really struggles with weight. We are proud of her for agreeing to commit to doing this, although she really worries about the level of commitment that she will be able to give.
The following will document pictures of us, BEFORE the routine begins. As stated, the pictures (specifically of me) are not pleasant to look at.... I am pasty white, and extremely hairy. My gay friends would refer to me as a "bear". The pictures were taken with me in the shape to show the dramatic change that I will go through... so, with great reservation, and very little shame, let us take a look...
I am going to post our meals and workout routines (for each day) so that you will know exactly what we are putting ourselves through. Also, we will try to take new photographs at the beginning of each week, so you can see the progress that we are making. So, make sure you check back to see how we are doing... and, by all means, please feel free to leave comments, criticisms or words of encouragement!

Hey guys, 1st of all neither one of you are in bad shape but I totally am impressed with your energy & commitment to getting in better emotional and physical health!!! Sean thanks for the invite to your group to be beach ready by summer I have at least 60 lbs to lose my only problem is it takes just about every ounce of energy have to crawl out of bed in the morning!! I have CFS & RA and it takes everything I have to just get the "have to's" done on a daily basis so I admire both of you for your internal drive and look forward to watching this transformation!!! You both are such wonderful people!!! I love you Mr. and Mrs. Dahl!! Good Luck and make me proud!! Deb (Idle) Clark
You realize that since you posted this, you are now committed to it!
Good luck to all of you, and hopefully it will be an inspiration to others (like me). :-)
Debbie, thanks for your wonderful comments. I do need to tell you that the Facebook invitation for the beach body was sent by someone else in my family. I don't know if they thought it was their account, or if they did it as a joke. Truthfully, I would never pressure people to do something that they are not comfortable with. I admire all that you do, and the attitude that you have about life, in general.
Mark, it'll be hard NOT to be committed to it, as our trainer currently lives with us. :-) Hopefully when all is said and done, SOMEBODY gets inspired. Including me. I think after I see myself dip below 200 pounds, and my body actually getting into the best shape that it has ever been in, I may be motivated to keep it that way. Anyhow, thanks for your best wishes...
