Right now, I am like this comic by the Oatmeal. I have gained weight, gone soft in the middle etc. I ate the pie chart.
I want to take some sort of action, so I have created a regime, based on things I have learned from Whole Health Source (written by nutritional researcher Stephen Guyenet) and Timothy Ferris. (Timothy Ferris, championship ballroom dancer in South America, author of The 4-Hour Workweek, and someone who is concerned with the minutia of life,who treats every aspect of existence like he is an industrial engineer. He even out-sourced finding a girlfriend. I am a little bit fascinated by Timothy Ferris.)
Anyhow, I don't want to bore you with details, but I am starting a bit of a diet today:
Timothy Ferris does have a diet out, and so does Stephen Guyenet, but I just created my own based on things I like to eat. The main thing is that I want to be able to live with it long-term. I've actually tried Timothy Ferris's thing and it is really, really, really boring eating the same things over and over again. And I didn't lose weight, so there's that.
In addition to eating differently: I am a member of the Cult of the Fitbit and I would like to make the Fitbit do its cool jiggly thing on my wrist every day, which means walking/jogging/skipping 5 1/2 miles a day. Then I do heavy lifting in the "Earth Gym" (I garden and carry fifty pound bags of feed and stuff outside). Also, it's important to sleep at least 8 hours a night. All this should get me back to my usual self in no time, right? Hope so.
I'll let you know how it all works out.
