I'd say it was a pretty good year in the weight loss department. But I still have a few more inches to shed from my waist.

I need to get back to exercising. Haven't done that regularly in a couple months. Plus the holidays were a killer for me food wise. Too much good stuff! So for now I need to focus on exercising and watching what I eat... which is the cornerstone of all weight loss programs.

In June of this year, I weighed about 165 pounds and had a belly-measurement of 38". On September 29th I weighed 148 pounds and had a belly-measurement of 35". I don't know about you, but those numbers look pretty good to me.

I did this all by changing my diet. I didn't join a gym (but I do try to work out at home.) I didn't join Weight Watchers. I don't put my food into Zones. I just make smarter decisions about the foods I eat.

And I decided to write out my diet (what I eat) for the world to read and scrutinize.

I've been pretty good over the last few months in not eating a lot of sugar. I don't drink much soda; I did have a Coke a couple months ago, and probably a couple months before that. In fact, I have a bottle of Pepsi sitting in a cabinet that has an expiration date of... (going to look)... well, it expires in a couple days! (August 6th, 2007!) Pop isn't a problem for me.

I don't eat candy bars. Often. I had a Kit-Kat a couple months ago. (I really needed a break.) I've had some of those sugar-free candies, but I'm not going to count them.
