Here’s where I’ve started from:
30 Days Targets: -20lbs weight and -10% body fat
Time to try something a little different having plateaued big time. So it’s time to experiment with something a little different but which is seems to be quite a similar approach to see if results improve this time.
I’ve decided to give the 4 Hour Body a whirl and see where I’m at after the 30 days and then take it from there. There will be a few minor tweaks to the previous approach though. Firstly measurement is going to have the addition of size measures and hopefully body fat % on a weekly basis. Secondly, I really can’t be arsed to record all foods and try and guess portion sizes to guess the relative levels etc - this time I’m just going to photograph all food that I eat On a daily basis. I’ll continue to weigh myself daily and record all exercise as well.
It’s been a bit of strange week or so with week 5 being the first week of not losing anything but rather managed to put 3 pounds on somehow without doing anything overly different.
Managed to reverse this on holiday in France when things rather went to pot (this happens when you’re staying with baker unfortunately) but was pretty active doing family stuff every day so I guess that evened things out.
Back on it again now so lets see what week 6 brings…

Another 3 pounds lost and that’s 1 stone 3 pounds lost in a month. Nice steady progress towards the goal. Today sees the first attempt at intermittent fasting so it’s just water today and see where that takes me. Will report back next week on how this went.
Again, a nice mixed week of cycling, swimming and walking with a BMF session thrown in at the weekend (I wouldn’t recommend doing this on a cooked breakfast though). All in all things are still ticking along nicely and certainly starting to feel like it’s more part of a the general routine rather than something that has be done as an extra.
Next week could prove to be more challenging though as I’m off to France for the week - let’s see what the second month brings…
