The 4 Hour Body -What We Ate on Week 2

If you read last weeks post you know my wife, Kelly, and I are playing around with the 4 Hour Body diet. I posted a quick meal log last Saturday so that readers could see exactly what we ate for the first week of this plan. Here's an updated post covering what we ate during week 2. Hope it helps with some good ideas of your own!

SMM Victory & the Weekly Schedule!

Another year, another Space Monkey Mafia victory! This year's ride was the most competitive yet.

The team was suppose to race in the "Spin Open" division, but got grouped with the YMCA teams (and put on Kaiser bikes). It was a grueling ride by all the riders. In the past, we have always been miles and miles miles ahead of the competition, but this year the Hill District YMCA brought out the big guns. It was neck and neck through most of the 6 hour race., In the end though, we pulled out a win by 2.8 miles.

The Four Hour Body -Week 1 Check In w/ Body Metrics

Last week I put up a post about the 4 Hour Body diet plan. Since then I've had a good bit of interest from friends regarding the 4 Hour Body. While I can't get into all the details in a blog post, I can suggest you go grab the book, and I will give you a peak at what I'm eating and how I'm feeling.
