This is the almost-anonymous story of an overweight, middle-aged athlete trying get a handle on his food and bring his weight back down to a reasonable level. Dropping his body fat down to 12%. Trading a 6-pack for a 6-pack.

The Plan

OK, I already lead an active life. I rock climb, I ski, I run, and I practice yoga (although not in the last three months).

I also travel a fair bit for work, which can put a serious crimp in my plan. This month is going to be particularly challenging. And next month, I'm going to Japan for two weeks. Oh boy.

So my plan, at first, is to simply try to keep these two simple goals for January:
1. Do something active EVERY DAY, starting today.
2. Restrict my calories dramatically, but keep my protein intake up so that I don't burn out of energy.
