Summary of Week 4

 Summary of Progress (Week 4)


Another week down and more progress made. My weight continues to drop, and my body fat is dropping more slowly but in a generally downward trend. My blood pressure is meeting my target every day. I am continuing to keep up with my prayer and meditation and am sleeping reasonably well. I haven’t missed any work outs and feel that I am gradually increasing my exercise tolerance. My first checkpoint has passed and I have lost an inch off my waist, and dramatically reduced my stress, anxiety and depression levels. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my progress so far.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:


“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” 

― Frank Herbert, Dune
