Over the weekend, my Wife and I went to “Meat The Butcher” (get it? heh. heh.) in Bukit Timah (615 Bukit Timah Road), which also happened to be a few shops down from the organic shop “Eat Organic” (very original names, eh?) and got ourselves a couple of grass fed Rib Eye steaks. Even after being frozen for a couple of days, they tasted amazing!

I posted on Google+ earlier today that I’m “Doing my bi-weekly bean cooking. First batch: Orange Lentils. Second batch: Black Beans. Will write a blog post later.” Well, here’s the blog post. And, to my friend Vincent, yes, you’re probably right… “hmmm.. wouldn’t that increase your carbon footprint?” I did two batches of beans that I’ll be freezing and eating for the next 2 weeks or so. First, a batch of Orange Lentils (seasoned of course), and second, a simple batch of Black Beans - plain.

We have a busy day (and it isn’t over yet). Today is my 3rd “cheat day” on the 4-Hour Body ‘plan’. I started off with a standard healthy, high-protein, zero-useless carbs, breakfast. The usuals: Lentils, Spinach, 3 eggs (1 whole, 2 whites), and seasoning. I have grown fond of dousing my eggs with Tabasco these days. Mmmm IMAG0606.jpg Afterwords, Melanie and I had a 9am appointment at the KettlebellH.I.T gym at Horse City, (#01-02K, 100 Turf Club RoadSingapore 287992) where we would be getting an hour and a half introductory lesson on Kettlebell exercises.

Melanie and I went to check out the status of our apartment construction yesterday (23rd July). We walked from the Kembangan MRT station and it took only 10 or 15 minutes to get to the complex - shorter than we thought (a good thing!). I am happy to see concrete! They seem to be actively working on foundation on some of the blocks. But, the showroom is still there, so they haven’t even broken ground on about a quarter of the complex.

As some of you may know, I’ve been reading the book The 4-Hour Body, by Timothy Ferriss (ala The 4-Hour Work Week fame) and I have decided to get healthy and follow his research-based recommendations to eat healthy and loose weight. (eliminate crap carbs, eat plenty of quality veggies, animals, and legumes). I previously read his 4-Hour Work Week book, and while it sounds great, I didn’t think it was very realistic for me (or most people for that matter).

I am planning to get this blog up and running again. This will involve providing some more mundane updates from my life, but more importantly, I will be blogging about my recent decision to get fit and follow most of the advice presented in Tim Ferriss’ The Four Hour Body. More on that later!
