So after years of doing it "my way", I finally listened to my wife and started tracking my food. Turns out that after a month of doing this I've lost 10 lbs. Weird! I've also been a vegetarian for a month. For a guy who is use to eating meat at every meal, this change has been surprising easy with no cravings. I also tore my tricep and had surgery about 10 days ago, so I'm only doing 30 minutes on the stationary bike 3x/wk. Looking forward to getting back into the gym. Inspired by my wife and daughter, I'm also going to do my first 5k this fall (baby steps), and commit to 5 runs in 2019. My wife's happiness if off the charts when she runs, and I'm jealous and inspired. I know 10lbs/month is not something I can keep up with. My goal is 1 1/2 lbs / wk. I'm 258 now, and want to be 240 by hockey season this fall. I think that's doable.

Well done on making a start.
I changed my lifestyle nearly a year ago. I became a vegetarian, completely changed me eating habits and recently started C25K. I’m know on week 4.
Keep up the good work.1 -
Congratulations on all the positive changes you've already implemented! The runner's high is no joke; those endorphins get seriously addictive.
Good luck and keep us posted! 0 -
