Well, now y'all are squabbling among yourselves, which is what I was afraid was gonna happen. Ten people and fifteen different kinds of advice. I am just gonna keep doing what I'm doing -- I had a difficult day yesterday and fell off the routine with bad food, a shot of bourbon and two beers. I'm not doing that again. I…

OK, should be now

Diary is open

I'm putting away at least a half gallon of water a day -- on gym days I put away far more than that. Probably over a gallon.

Boy, ain't that the truth. When I was in my 40s I could do this same approach and drop 15 or 20 pounds in a couple months time. After I hit the 50 threshold, it's all been a whole different ballgame. I'm as healthy as a horse...sitting pulse rate of 60, sitting BP of about 110/55 or so, blood chemistry's always pretty well…

I should also clarify that I didn't exactly do a "cleanse" to start this thing, it was five days worth of the lemonade/cayenne fast, where I dropped ten pounds pronto. I may try going back to something like 600 calories/day a couple days a week and see if that brings any results...like maybe a couple of hardboiled eggs,…

Lots of conflicting advice here, which is what I was afraid of. I am trying to work in more strength training along with the cardio (although it seems to me that calories are calories regardless of how they're burned). Lots of weights and medicine ball stuff. Lots of core stuff. I've also had people tell me I'm not netting…

So are you talking about 1300-1400 calories/day net, after exercise?
