After years of excess (mostly beer and fast food), I am trying to trim down. The first step for me was quitting smoking after 20+ years and I've been succesful at that. I try to walk at least 4-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time after work and dinner. Last week I actually started running but sometimes I dont have time for either because I've been working a lot of overtime lately. I used to play ice hockey but gave that up about a year ago. I've also stayed away from soda for the most part. I have to admit though that I have set aside one day a week to "pig out" and I usually do this on my one day off per week on Sunday.
