Feeling and sleeping much better...
Have ALMOST stopped smoking completely. That last 5-10 per day are a real struggle but I feel cutting back from 30+ a day is heading in the right direction...

A friend pointed my post out to me this morning, thought it would be a good time to update my progress...
Yup, I'm down below 240 for the 1st time in years! The lack of sugars has helped tremendously with craving crap foods and I'm following what is essentially a "Paleo diet" for now. I did make my own BBQ ribs for the 4th of July but cut down on the sugar I used in my rub. Still felt a little funny after eating it but I only had a few ribs, my meal portions have dropped a bit too. I'm going to get a full check-up at the annual doctor inspection next month, going to get some blood work now that I'm eating better.
Still struggling with the cigarettes, though. I'll ask for the anti-smoking pills when I see the doctor as I've had 4 friends actually quit with them, even though I hate taking meds...
