The Diet (again)

As some of you may know or remember, last year around the same time I started The Diet. This lasted for a few months and went great. I was dropping the pounds and feeling better. We managed to cut out soda, going out to eat and snacks. Then life got in the way (yes I know, same old tired excuse that everybody uses). However bad the excuse is, its the truth. At the time I was working 8:30-5pm and then doing freelance work at home, the kids had school and daycare and the wife had classes at MSU and finding the time to keep it up broke and we fell back into our rut of going out to eat several times a day, sometimes every day. Snacking came back and so did the soda. So, after dropping some pounds I started putting it back on and by the end of the year weighed more then when I started The Diet. So, the story begins again but this time, the rules are different. (how cheesy was that?) (more…)
