Have you ever had the hot water run out when you were in the middle of taking a shower and been shocked by the cold water hitting you? Have you ever taken a cold shower on purpose?
A planned ice cold shower. That’s how my day started.
Actually, before I took my cold shower, I heard a series of screams coming from our bedroom as I started to prepare breakfast. Normally, I would have laughed at my wife’s loud reaction to the frigid water in the shower, but I knew it was my turn next.
Seems like a perfectly logical way to start a cold snowy day, right?
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s exactly what I have in mind when it comes to enjoying life, but one of my new year’s resolutions is to lose weight, so I’m following the plan for rapid weight loss detailed by Timothy Ferriss in his new book, The 4-Hour Body. I have to admit once I got out I felt pretty refreshed and definitely awake.
If you aren’t familiar with Tim and The 4-Hour Body as well as his previous bestselling book, The 4-Hour Work Week, you might want to check out his blogs at FourHourWorkWeek.com and FourHourBody.com.
According to the plan he lays out in the book, you can expect to lose 20 pounds in your first month without exercise. I plan to exercise throughout the next month, so it will be interesting to see what kind of results I get.
If you’ve been thinking about getting back in shape, you might want to check his book and make sure you leave me a comment below.
