Hacking The Body Week #7

Good evening everyone, it’s time for my weekly hacking the body update.

I would have updated sooner but I’ve been away from my laptop most of the day, however I did weigh in this morning and wrote it down on a post-it note before I left.

This morning after I showered, I jumped on the scale and to my amazement, I weighed in at 225.4 which means I’m down 1 pound from last week.

Why am I surprised to have lost any weight?

Well I’ve been sort of bad the past week eating junk… yes folks, the pie sale at the local bakery got the best of me. I’ve been having breakfast pie every morning… yum… lemon meringue.

Before you bust my chops for eating pie for breakfast, to make up for it, I’ve been walking more, running around with my dog and of course drinking a lot of water to flush my system out.

Encase you were wondering, the pie is now gone, so no more breakfast pie for me.

I’ve also been going to bed much earlier and also waking up sooner. It’s amazing the things you can get done before the sun comes up.

This evening before I arrived back at home base, I got myself a 24 hour membership to the gym, which means I can now get going on the treadmill and LifeCycle and get a really good cardio workout.

The best part about my stop at the gym before heading home?

The membership was free. It’s nice having friends in high places :)

Ok, to sum up my weekly progress, so far in 7 weeks I’ve lost a total of 6.6 pounds. Not too bad… it’s been slow going but I am making progress.

Feel free to keep track of my progress on my Hacking The Body Project page.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support and words of encouragement.

    Seeing as you’ve got the whole hacker thing going, Have you considered the shangrila diet?

    I’m not advocating it or anything - I haven’t tried it so I wouldn’t know about its efficacy but it does look very interesting… Some links:
