Before you assume that we have deprived ourselves of certain foods or spent hours in the gym, let me tell you what we have done. FOOD - yes we eat healthier then we did previously but we also eat in 5-6 small meals rather then 3 meals per day which controls our portion size. We eat more fruits and vegetables too. Have we deprived ourselves of anything? NO - we just eat the "junk" in moderation. We don't keep the cabinets stocked with the "junk" either. EXERCISE - when we started our exercise routine was spending 30 minutes about 3 times per week on the treadmill or using our home weight system. In late January, I started the Couch-to-5k program as one of my 2010 bucket list items was to run a 5k. That program had me running/walking for approx. 30 minutes 3 times per week for a period of 8 weeks. It wasn't until March that my running time increased to about 45 minutes and I started alternating my running schedule with strength training...again though not spending more the 30-45 minutes 4 times per week. In May, Mike started the P90X series and is currently on day 28 of the 90 day program.
