Tim,

I will be getting on board with this very soon. I would have started already but I’ve been laid low with a cold. And it’s not an excuse it’s proper man flu. I’ll let you know what I’m doing soon.

Hope your detox is going well or even grteat

Dave

Tim,

Congrats on making a commitment to yourself! So often we are the last one’s on our own priority list. I wish you success, health, and happiness with your life changes!

I am coming on this post a bit late, but hereby commit to re-losing the weight i lost last year (then regained). That is 50 lbs. To be specific, i will do this by working out at the gym at least 3 times per week, re-committing to drinking only water and occasional juice, reducing my portion sizes, and watching the make-up of the food i eat.

I have a new son (5 months), and I want him to grow up with healthy eating habits — so that is my driving force.

I will keep you on track and checking on you will help me as well. Now i have to find your recent post to see how your first week went!

@ Dave – Good point, maybe I’ll reduce it to 2.

@ Melissa – Hey congratulations on being pregnant, I didn’t know that, not that I was particularly likely to. Best of luck with everything I hope it goes great!

Woo! That is a little much to take on at once, isn’t it? But more power to you!!! Good Luck! I’ve been cutting back as much as possible on everything because I’m pregnant… It’s more I have to than I want to. =( I haven’t had a drop of alcohol since April.

when my wife suggested 3 meals tonight

Tim,

I think you could probably cut down on your gym time if you only ate ONE meal each evening. I’m no expert, but 3 meals sounds excessive. :-o

@ Kelly – I’ll spell out my reasons in a post tomorrow and re-commit to what I’m going to do. It seems insane and that may be because it is, we will find out.

@ Chris – No problem bud, this is a very personal thing and when my wife suggested 3 meals tonight and 2 of them were cooked with wine I nearly burst into tears ;-)

I support you 100% but this doesn’t mean that I’m going to follow you…I need my diet coke, my meat and sugar. I will visit the gym 4 times a week starting tomorrow after I get rid of this miserable head cold.

Man, no meat, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar? What do you want me to eat during dinner air?LOL

Mate, you’re on your own with that one. I can’t think of a single reason why you’d want to give up everything good in life!

Is this some kind of self flagellation kink you’ve got going on? Now that would be interesting…

Best of luck though. I’ll toast your efforts tonight over a glass of red while I chow down on a rump steak, followed by home made apple pie for dessert. But I won’t enjoy myself, I promise.

@ Amy – Good for you on the smoking and alcohol. I’ve never been a smoker so that is one thing I don’t have to worry about quitting. I like that research btw, too man people think you have to work at one thing at once. My personal opinion is that it really is down to the individual.
