My son, Steven, is a reader of improvement books and blogs from his favorite folks that give him ideas on ways to save time and effort. One of his favorite gurus is Tim Ferris. My son has encouraged me to try the plans for weight reduction/body improvement that Tim espouses in his book "The 4 Hour Body". My 23 year old daughter Marissa and I will TRY this for two weeks beginning today, May 18, 2017.

The beginning is this, we measure the same 4 areas of our body with a measuring tape and add the numbers together, and we get a beginning weight. I am also going to get blood work done today to have numbers to compare for my cholesterol and triglycerides and an A1c test. We are also taking pictures of our before selves both in clothes, which we post here and in our underwear which is to be a real view form of encouragement not to cheat ourselves out of a better body. Follow us if you like and we will tell you the good, bad and ugly.

I am posting this now, but will update with pictures and measurement totals later today. The first food change we are making is eating 30 grams of protein within the first hour of being awake. So I am off to make Marissa some eggs.
Until later - Rita

Ok, so my measurements added up to 208 1/4 inches Marissa does not want to bothered by that. I am going to get my BMI done at the gym at college this morning in Madison. I have to drink over a liter of water and then pee to get accurate reading from the machine. I will also get my weight done there. Here are our beginning photos.
