Getting in Shape!

Spent last week at the beach. I swam hard in the ocean against strong waves every day. I also did kettlebell swings 3 days last week. However, I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. 

Yesterday I fasted all day and did kettlebell swings when I got home. Skipped breakfast this morning. Ate 12 chicken wings of various flavors and celery with ranch and bleu cheese dressings for lunch. Later I ate some ice cream, we had a celebration of sorts at work this afternoon. 

Next scheduled kettlebell session is Friday. According to the Four Hour Body, I should be able to get some good results with just two sessions of 75 total swings each per week. Tim Ferriss calls it the "minimum effective dose." 

Meant to post this yesterday, 20110719, but forgot to do so!
