I began exercising more (and more regularly) and, by spring, I finally started to whip my diet into shape. I began counting calories on myfitnesspal.com (a really great site). Then I started cycle commuting. Since I bought my bike in April, I've put roughly 1400 miles on it. In addition to this, I even started running. Well, lumbering quickly, at least. After years of joking about the people in my neighbourhood running for no good reason (no one was even chasing them), I kind of joined them. It took a while to make the change but I started walking less and running more. Now, I can go out and run for 3 1/2 miles without slowing. In October, I did the CN Tower climb in a respectable 23:57. That's 1776 steps. Last year, I would have been gasping for breath after a few flights.
There is no great secret to what I did. It all boils down to four words - eat less, move more.
The November before I started, I went to Vegas. Though I didn't quite realize it then, I came back with a number of not terribly flattering 'before' pics.
For instance, in November of 2010, I looked like this:
Yup. Even trying for a more flattering angle just couldn't hide the fact that I was, uh, big.
Last Saturday, I looked like this:
That's me getting ready for my first 5k run. I'm already signed up for my next one (St. Patrick's Day) and am eyeing up a 10k run for the summer. I think I like it better this way. It's sweatier but more fun.

Bravo! Good for you for making the decision to become healthier and not only sticking to it, but improving on it. I find your story inspirational, as injuries have curtailed my exercise in the past few months and I am struggling to regain my lost fitness right now.
And you look fantastic!

I've been browsing on-line more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
