It certainly doesn't feel like I've been eating any better, but I've managed to drop a few pounds anyway. Keep on it, Tony! Good to hear you’re moving in the right direction. It’s funny.

I too am going through the same struggle and it helps to hear other people talk about how they are handling it. When it comes to eating out, that was the hardest change in my life. Pre-diet, it would be easy for me to eat out two to three times a day if I let myself. My new rule, I only eat restaurant food if I'm with someone else. I had no idea how much money this would save me. And I have to say that you are the first person to actually make me seriously interested into getting a Wii. Only thing holding me back is having to buy a new tv too. Can't wait to find out how you are doing on your next rest day, you might make me see it is worth the expense. :) Stay strong!

Yes, work does get in the way of working out. Kids and the wife also tend to "get in the way" as well :) I would suggest that you and your wife look at what goes on during the week, especially in the evenings. Agree that each day, there's a certain time to set aside for you to do something - maybe even putting the little one in the stroller and going to walk together and talking about how the day went. And, believe me, you'll quickly remember that it's awfully easy to come home from a full day at work and want to just crash on the sofa in front of the TV for the evening. RESIST! I find, once I overcome the inertia and get moving, I can get a good workout, even after a tiring day. Tony,

And promises of more before Thanksgiving. Most excellent. It's great to hear that the other BSP guys are supporting with the after show walking. Well, here's what I can offer. No doubt this is not one that you are ready for, yet. However, I'm getting ready to start week five of the "Couch Potato to 5K" Program. It's a progressive training program to build oneself up to running for a straight 30 minutes for 5K. One thing that has helped me stick with it is a perfect podcast "event", really. This guy went and recorded a podcast for each of the nine weeks of the program. http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/ It's nice, because I don't have to worry about checking my watch to figure out when to speed up and slow down. Just start the show listen to the music, and follow Robert's prompts. Once I build up to being able to run a full 5K, I'm hoping to use this as an centerpiece of my exercise plan. He really IS back!

It's certainly tough to get going again after a big interruption. But, once you get back at it, you will quickly bounce back. That first workout will be tough, but I find that, if I can get through that first "bounce back" workout, the next ones come easier. 10 lbs in two weeks is definitely aggressive... D'oh!
