eat everything your wife cooks except swap out spaghetti squash for pasta. Unfortunately you have to make the squash fresh every day, but you can microwave it.
D-Hole: Those compression shorts would slide off in an instant in the water.

does your wife deep fry cheesecake for dinner? you should be losing a lot more than 3lbs/wk.
Thanks, A-hole.
During that time I've been on a weekend trip to Austin, and two business trips, so um....my eating habits are not quite as disciplined when I don't have a drawer full of almonds and gallon jugs of water at my immediate disposal. Also, sometimes lunch gets dicey, and I have to work my ass off at night to earn those calories back.
I've tried to simplify my exercise and diet. I re-gained 35 pounds after losing 75 pounds last year. In short, I try to exercise vigorously two hours per day. In the mornings or at lunch, I run 4x per week (25 mins M; 35 mins T; W off; 45 mins Th; F off, Long Run (currently at 7 miles) Sat, Sun off). After I put the kids to bed, I head to the gym and do resistance/circuit training. I don't do anything fixed, but I try to make sure I'm working different muscle groups. After that, I swim laps for 30 minutes, then head home.
My diet is simple: In the morning, I have two apples, a Kind bar, and 24 almonds. If I get hungry before lunch, then I eat more almonds/apples. I drink a gallon of water a day (I buy the gallon jugs at the store...it's a little mroe expensive, but it helps me to remember to drink), and I don't drink any sort of soda or juice. At lunch, I just don't eat anything fried and try to include some meat (don't care if it's lean or not...if it's fatty, I'll reduce how much I eat). I eat a lot of salads at lunch. My go-to restaurant lunch is from Chipotle: 3 chicken soft tacos on corn tortillas with fajita veggies and pico de gallo. It equals about 450 calories, which is nothing for a guy my size. Dinner is the hardest for me. I'm at my wife's mercy, and she cooks a lot of pasta. I will occassionally smoke some meat and steam some veggies and put them in the fridge for backup meals. It works well, but if my wife cooks healthy meals, I often end up wasting some pretty damn delicious food. Fortunately, with the amount of exercise I do, I can consume a shit ton of calories per day.
I've dropped 12 pounds in the last month. I'm hoping to recapture some of last year's magic for another 75 pound loss.
