Chili smells have begun to fall down the stairs and enter my study.\u00a0 Smells pretty good, especially after\u00a0 a workout on the treadmill. I’ve up the difficulty by two incline levels over the last week or so and it feels good.\u00a0 Need to find a personal trainer who can get both Kate and me jump started on a new resistance program.<\/p>\n

Also, in dietary news.\u00a0 I have the found the secret to a healthy weight:\u00a0 eat less food.\u00a0 No kidding.\u00a0 I know.\u00a0 Obvious, right?\u00a0 Here’s what I’ve done:\u00a0 first, I imagined the portion I would \"cr400_late-summer-2010_0200\"eat for a meal and cut it in half.\u00a0 Surprisingly, not a hard thing to do.\u00a0 Still satisfying.\u00a0 second, I decided that I had to have a vegetable serving and a fruit serving at every meal.\u00a0 Again, obvious.\u00a0 You’re probably already doing it, but I’ve slouched along on the fruit\/veggie thing.\u00a0 Now, each meal.\u00a0\u00a0 third, I stopped eating while watching TV.\u00a0 This is an important change for me because it led to a lot of mindless eating.\u00a0 Now if I want a snack while watching TV I have to turn off the TV, go make something and eat it in the kitchen at the table.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, this relatively simple minded plan has worked.\u00a0 I’ve dropped ten pounds + since beginning it.\u00a0 The good news is that there’s nothing I’ll ever need to stop and it allows me to eat what I want, just less of it.\u00a0 And, actually, this is something, too, it makes it possible to have two really good meals out of what would have been one and done.\u00a0 I love that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
