I phase in and out of it. I never completely give up greasy junk food, but when I'm feeling motivated, I decrease my intake. Actually, for me it's more about portions. Whether it's "good for me" food or not, I tend to simply eat too much. If I spend a couple weeks simply consciously reducing portions, I pretty quickly loose 5-10 pounds with little effort. Add exercise to that, and it's more like 10-15 pounds.
Oh yeah, exercise. In general, I get into a good rhythm of regularly exercising...for about a month. Then, invariably, something gets me off schedule for a couple days in a row, and couch momentum takes hold for a couple months.
CP and I had just dusted off the bikes and were starting to get back to regular rides when I hurt my back. Hopefully now that I'm feeling better, we can get motivated to continue that, but the condo hunt may intervene.
