What a week it’s been… Still chugging along through my first week, feel like I’m doing pretty well. My new scale finally arrived today (I didn’t own one prior). I’ll be doing a proper weigh-in tomorrow morning along with some measurements. But, the scale is pretty cool (if you’re a nerd like me who believes…

Day 3 – Oh yeah, remember Vitamin C?
Not this Vitamin C… The stuff that boosts your immune system. It’s in orange juice. Which I’m not allowed to drink regularly. I was feeling a little scratchy in my throat on my back from class this evening, usually I start chugging the OJ at the first sign of any kind of cold to fight…
Day 3 – I don’t love them Giorgi-hos
Today was a team lunch meeting at work. Which means they feed all of us. Today was pizza. Pizza with crack in it from a local by-the-slice place called Giorgio’s. The perfect late night drunk pizza. As I was drooling over this, it made me a little less interested in my otherwise delicious beans, bison…
Day 3 – Breakfast of Chumpions
After last night’s discovery of the wonderfulness and ease of falafel, I’ve decided that I’ll probably be going with that as my way to get calories at breakfast. Still struggling to eat this much in the morning, but I think that will change as I get used to it. Combine in food processor 1 cup…
Day 4 – Didn’t feel like puking this morning
Yesterday, I ran out of beans. Scary shit, right? I ran to the grocery after class and picked up a few more bags (turns out I’m eating more of them than I anticipated). Checking out the nutrition facts – you do read those once in a while, right? – I saw that black beans have…
Day 2 – Count it!
Whew! Made it through my first day on the Four Hour Body. I got hungry at the normal times, and didn’t feel like I was lacking energy (aside from the fact that I only got 4 hours of sleep the previous night). Found a cool trick this evening that made my “Seriously, that’s too much…
Day 2 – Seriously, this is physically more food than I’m used to consuming
Talked with a few coworkers about 4HB. Most have heard of Tim and 4-Hour Workweek, one had heard of 4HB. No one interested in joining me. Coworker 1: “You had fish, eggs and beans for breakfast?” Me: “Yeah, it was brutal. I’m used to fruit and oats” Coworker 2: “Oh, that’s the book where they…
Day 2 – Oh my God do I have to eat so much at breakfast?
Today was my first “real” 4 Hour Body breakfast. Talking with Mike last night, he encouraged me to try and get to 30g of protein at breakfast. PLUS the spinach and, of course, beans. Beans at breakfast? As I’ve said before, I like beans well enough. We became well-acquainted during my year in college as…
Day 1 – Forgot the beans
Went to the grocery today, as usual. Was weird not buying my usual assortment of fruit, but other than that the trip wasn’t any different from normal. That’s a good sign — I don’t have to drastically change my habits to follow along with this. I still prefer to cook from scratch as much as…
Day 0 – Deciding to do something
“You really should exercise more. Frank even says so.” Huh? That’s what I was told last night by my good friend Beth. Not the most important topic of conversation from the evening, but a statement that stuck with me. Someone else had caught on to my dirty little secret and called me out on it….
