Day 6 - Does 4-Hour Body Work?

Weight: 240.8

Me @ 215lbs. 25 to go! (2 years ago)

Yay! I lost a pound in the last day. It's also the end of the day & I think you're supposed to be heavier @ days end. Therefore, I should be under 240 by morning (somehow.)


I didn't get up @ 415 am with Katie today. I worked on things late last night and went to bed about 1200 am. SO she let me sleep in. (so nice of her.) I woke up about 7 and worked out around 10am. I worked out again about 2pm. Good times today.

I worked out for an hour today. (2) 30 minute cardio workouts.

I can't let this 'staying up late' thing get to me. I'm trying to readjust my schedule to getting up @ 4am & going to bed by 9pm. So why am I up @ 10:50pm writing this and (soon) be doing some work? A new product line came in and I was asked to help put it in the system. I said 'sure!' (while forgetting I'm a morning person now.) I can't do this anymore.


I posted on Facebook about taking a day off dieting. I realize the point to losing weight is more calories burned than needed. Just because this week has been so hard, I'm taking a day off. I admit, I did it wrong tonight. I figured 'Hey 24 hours off!' So I added cheese to my turkey burger (without a bun) tonight & a small dallop of mayo. It was DELICIOUS!

Being the first bit of unhealthy food I have had all week, I was so happy... It melted in my mouth & was the best thing I've had in a week.

THEN tonight, I read some more on the 4 hour blogs - (http://www.slowcarbfoodie.com/2012/02/28/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-4-hour-body-cheat-day/)

It's not 24 hours, rather it is 1 day... & protein within 30 minutes of waking, THEN binging all day. & some sugars before bed. I guess I did it backwards.

Regardless, I worked out for an hour today and I have tomorrow OFF working out. (4-hour Body, you still do SOME workouts 30 before & 90 after you eat.)

It might be psychological. The diet this week was hard & by today I didn't even need the 'afternoon snack' I'm supposed to have. I realize I'm SUPPOSED to have it, but I honestly forgot all about it. On all other days I've been counting the minutes before I would allow myself to eat it. Today I've gotten used to it.

---------- It sounds like I'm falling off track, but I'm not. I'm focusing on being a new person & living the way that's best for me.

Tomorrow I get to measure myself to see if I've shrunk. I'm looking forward to it because I am pretty sure I have.

On a positive note, I've already made it further than this guy (http://www.fourhourbodyworks.com/2011/01/4-hour-body-photos-week-1-the-beginning/) I hope he eventually reaches his goals.
