I’ve made it to the start of the 4th week trying the slow carb diet as part of the 4 Hour Body. I’ve had to change what I eat and what I am allowed to eat, BUT there is a cheat day where you can eat what you like. In any case, measuring things is important so you can see things objectively, and here are the measurements from the start of the 4 weeks (so far).
I’ve started the 4 Hour Body – both the book AND the journey myself.
I heard of the 4 Hour body a few years ago but didn’t do anything back then, likely for some minor, insignificant reason (not the right time of my life, couldn
‘t be arsed, not enough personal investment in making any life changes, etc.) I’ve been listening to Tim Ferriss’ podcasts since October last year and the more I listened to the various interviewees, the more I became fascinated by the 4 Hour Body.
I bought myself a Kindle after Christmas and the first purchase I made was the 4 Hour Body. After reading about 50 pages, I made the decision [which is where a lot of people fail] to follow the programs and just see how things would go. What’s there to lose, right (according to the blurb: ’20 pounds [9Kg] in 30 days’ :-))
Follow me on this journey as I embark on the 4 Hour Body program!
Love Actually is one of my favourite movies! I had a “Love, Actually” moment earlier today whilst in Tiffany’s buying a gift voucher (recall the ‘would you like it gift wrapped‘ scene from the movie). For a small credit-card sized gift card, it went into a large square card with a special cutout; but only after being inserted into a small ribbon. The card was closed, and the fellow retrieved a large, square card-shaped box. Once he’d opened the box, inserted the card, and popped the lid back on (the right way around), he proceeded to pull out a length of ribbon to wrap the box. When I thought it was over, he then reached up into a cupboard and pulled out the gift bag! After inserting the package into the bag, he finally handed it over to me. Did I feel special? I sure did!
Later in the day when recounting my story to some of my work compatriots, many of them said they’d never seen (let alone had heard of) the movie. Of those I asked, only 1/6 women I asked had seen it, despite it being one of the best chick-flicks out there – I immediately implored all of them to go and watch the movie!
Have you experienced a scene out of one of your favourite movies? Let me know in the comments!
I was wondering whether there was a way to indicate to someone online that you had a ‘throwaway’ line when you commented or posted on someone else’s page (Facebook, Google +, etc). We can ‘like’ and ‘unlike’; we can add a post and delete a post; we can add a comment and delete a comment.
But what if you wanted to add a comment to someone’s page or post to someone’s page/status and not have it hang around for eternity?
What if you did not care of the other party wanted to keep the comment or not?
What mechanism is there to indicate that you want to leave a comment, but do not mind (or care) if the other party did not wish to have it there?
Enter, FFTD – Feel Free To Delete
Use it next time you wish to throw out a comment that you believe in, and that you believe is warranted at that point in time, however won;t be too upset if the owner/author doesn’t want hanging around. Try it in my comments below…go on – I won’t mind you using FFTD 🙂

It’s a challenge to find strength each and every day. There are people who find strength no matter what they are faced with. There are days I can find this strength and there are days where it’s difficult to find.
It’s missing.
Accepting responsibility for our actions is one of the most important traits we can have and helps us to become a trusted person to others. Trust underpins many, many aspects in today’s society.
Practice it when you can, it’s the right thing to do.
No matter what anyone says, you are more capable than you think. You just need to believe it 🙂
What separates those who are successful (by their own definition if success)?
Belief.
Belief that they can do it, remove obstacles from their path and having the commitment and determination to succeed. It’s in everyone, but not everyone uses it.
I’m looking for ways to better myself and others in 2015.
2014 was such a difficult year as I focused so much on work (as there was a lot to do) and had little time for other things. It;’s not who I am so in 2015 I am getting back into the way
I want this year to be different.
I need this year to be different.
I’ve gotten back into my blood/plasma donations but need some help and ideas on what else to do in 2015.
Giot any ideas? let me know!
We ended 2014 with a 12-day cruise through some of the South Pacific Islands, a holiday for the whole family that we’d planned in Oct 2013. Once we’d made the booking, we a 300 day wait for our departure day to arrive.
Now that we’re back from the cruise, here are some of my thoughts, recollections and good/bad points of the trip – There are a lot of tips in here for would be cruisers:
For our first cruise, we all did have a wonderful time. Personally I did not sleep well and was tired before I got on the ship, and tired when I got off it. Most people do sleep well due to the sumptuous pillows and fantastic bed – just not me.
