It's time to get back on the 4HB horse! For the past year I've not done my best stay consistent with the diet and found myself introducing pasta, breads, and high sugar substances into my daily diet. If nothing else, the past year has reconfirmed that diet controls 80% of my well being.
Too keep things fresh, SBVegas and I have agreed that every non 4HB compliant meal will cost us $2 (whiskey is exempt and gorge day meals do not count). This "loss" round will run from October 21st through November 30th. The competitor with the greatest "loss" wins a bottle of Yamazaki 12 Year Single Malt Japanese whiskey!
Unlike my first go around, I'll not be cutting working out for the first
month. I signed up for CrossFit to fuel my competitive desire it's
doing a fine job. A few of these cross fitters will be asked to hold me
accountable as well. :-)

Some cross-blog talk...
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if the alcohol "abstention" is starting to take hold. I'm at 170 this morning, with no huge changes. This is down from 174 on Sunday a.m, and the lowest point in several months.
I am in a #4HB challenge with Richard. $2 penalty for every non-compliant meal and a bottle of whiskey to the biggest loser on December 1, 2012.
Grilled six chicken breasts last night, that should make midday meals and snacks much easier to put together. A little planning is everything. If it is too hard to put together the meal, it seems that more of then than not, a starch fills the gaps, and that's a problem.
Having a competition is a great tool to keep on track. In the unlikely event that anyone is actually reading this, feel free to join us. More the merrier.
