Healthy Living 101

[James OLC]

During One Lap you inspired me to try although I didn't "get around to it" until mid summer (when a family loss punctuated the need to be doing something). Started in early July with "just" diet and exercise. Initially I tried radically cutting out everything that I perceived to be unhealthy (real or interpreted) - coffee, booze, anything snack-food-ish - but was provided with some very sage advice: if you plan on dropping weight and keeping it off don't do anything that you can't commit to for the rest of your life. There is a balance that you have to find or you'll end up on a roller coaster.
