Welcome! What's this 4HB all about?

Hi All!

So I'm going to try Tim Ferriss' 'The 4-hour Body' diet. I'm an optimistic skeptic and for 30 days, starting on Monday, September 26th, I'll embark on this little adventure.

I'm and engineer and an MBA by trade and Tim has me very curious. I have been working hard at my weight and seem to have plateaued at about 208lb and about 18% body fat so its time to shake things up a bit.

I'm also a father of 2 year old twin girls, my wife Jess is coming along with me on this adventure and I'll update you on her progress as well. Tim is a swingin' bachelor from the sounds of it so consider me a real-life acid test on whether or not the more average folk can realistically fit this into their lives.

My goal is 195lb and about 12%BF which is well within the expectations set by Tim's program at 20lbs in 30 days.

I'll be talking about how I feel on the diet, how much it costs and what the results are, of course. I'll try to be as specific as possible and time/date all the things I do.

I'll put links and photos of everything I do and hopefully it will be as big a success as Tim advertises it to be!

Vote on what you think my end weight will be!

23 day countdown!

Weight/BF% - UNKNOWN
Mood - Feel good! Ready to kick off!
Hey gang!

Been a while since I did my blog and I have tried many thing to continue weight loss and/or maintain current weight and I think I have figured out a real key to maintaining and losing weight for me... BLOGGING.

Blogging seems to be a real key to accountability for me, its kind of a pain in the arse BUT it does keep me really accountable. If I slip, I have to tell all of YOU about it and that is just no fun.

I think my weight is pretty close to where I left off after I stopped tracking and in this series of blogging, I'll be focusing in on just some of the simple things that made 4HB a success for me in the beginning when I originally tried the 30-day program back in September 2011.

I just got back from a massive snowboarding and beer bender at Whistler mountain in Vancouver BC and I'm staring a trip to Las Vegas squarely in the eyes here mid-March so I figured no better time to trim down and watch the health a bit than right now!

This short 4HB stint will be a bit different than the 1st 30-day trial because I'm incorporating exercise into this run. If you read the 1st series, I was injured with an MCL sprain that kept me from doing almost any kind of exercise at all for the 30-days.

Please let me know if there is anything else you want to note or write about ok!

7am - 2 hard boiled eggs and coffee
