Over the next 6 weeks, I would like to healthly drop one size which is roughly about 15-18 pounds for me.
In order to accomplish this, I plan to:
- Stick to my diet (I am doing 4 Hour Body diet)
- Go to the gym 4x a week (stretch/cardio every day and add swimming in 1-2 times a week)
- Sleep a minimum of 7 hours a night
MY SIDE LIFE QUESTS
- Read 10 books via audiobook, ebook and regular book. 2 of them need to be off the BBC's Big Read List and 1 needs to be an eBook because I have been neglecting my Kindle Fire
- Memorize Falstaff's speech from Henry IV (If fat and sugar be a fault) - Teaching Your Kids Shakespeare book recommends learning Shakespeare speeches. I have just finished memorizing "Once more into the breach"

MY SIDE QUEST (3/10 done) (0/2 BBC) (0/1 eBook)
- Finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth (liked it)
- Read more of One For the Money by Janet Evanovich via Kindle at 64% (I am not enjoying this book at all)
- I treid Possession by AS Byatt which is on the BBC List, but it was something you need to be in the mood for so I took it back to the library.
- I'm halfway through Allegiant by Veronica Roth (it is making me like the whole series more so far.)
- "If sack and sugar be a fault, god help the wicked. If to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host I know is damned. If to be fat, to be hated then the Pharoh's lean kine are to be loved." I have Falstaff's speech about a quarter memorized so far.
End of the week recap:
- The cold/flu that I thought I picked up after Emerald City Comicon was actually a precursor to a kidney stone. Since I have gotten past that, I am feeling better in almost every way
- I didn't make it to the gym
- Met sleep goal on 5/7 days, but still got plenty of sleep
- I have lost 4 more pounds this week bringing my grand total to 27 pounds lost.
- While my calories seem low, I am eating a lot. It is just low calories and spread out. I am getting enough of everything and am not hungry nor having cravings.
- Grand Total Measurements DECREASED by:
- Waist - 2"
- Hips - 2"
- Bust - 2"
- Underbust - 3"
