I had a startling weigh in over the holidays…. 14 Stones 2 Pounds, 89.8 Kilos, yes 198 Pounds.

I am not much for dieting… I looked on-line for a diet that would complement my lifestyle, one that included beer.  I didn’t find anything I wanted to subscribe to.

I did find a blog entry of a guy who tried a lot of diets, Atkins, South Beach, etc… His advice was to make a few subtle habbit changes rather than try any of the diets.

1. Don’t go out to lunch.
2. Snack on fruit, nuts, and raw vegetables
3. excercise at least 3 hours a week.
4. Drink lots of water

So I thought I would try it…. I had already set up my bike trainer to get in shape so I just need to ensure I ride for 3 hours a week or supplement trainer time with other excercise.  I also gave up Mexican Food for lunch. My packed lunches include several servings of fruit and veggies. And I have been drinking at least one Nalgene bottle of water a day in the office.

The result…. after one week I had lost 6 pounds.  I know weight can very a few pounds one way or the other… but hey its a trend in the right direction.  I even feel much better…

I think these are changes I can live with, pass me beer.
