Just wanted to post my progress so far. Got serious about getting healthy again around the end of may. Progress has slowed down quite a bit lately (work, vacation, work work work). Still very happy with where I am and hope to be where I want to be soon!

    For me it was about being disciplined.

    I took the 1400 calories I was going to eat a day and broke them down.

    6:30am Breakfast 150-200 Calories
    9:30am Snack - 150 calories
    12:00pm Lunch - 250 calories
    3:00pm Snack - 150 Calories
    6:00pm Dinner - Whatever I had left.

    I make most of the food I eat. I bring my snacks and lunch to work.

    I drink lots of water. I try to get close to a gallon a day. I pee a lot.

    I drink a glass of wine 4-5 times a week at least. That was the one thing I didn't want to give up.

    I work out when I can. I try to do at least 2 days of cardio and 2 days of weight training.

    And I dont have a "cheat day" If i want to go out to a nice dinner .. I enjoy it. I just don't do it often.
