I started eating clean at the end of last November. In addition, I've been working out more, rehabbing my knee at physio, doing yoga and cycling about 100km a week. I have kept up my routine and diet discipline.

I've lost my gut (finally!). For me, it meant changing my old ways. No eating past 7 pm (cutting out metabilism-killing evening snack!), cutting out pop in favour of water, eating cleaner and saving my cheat meals for the weekend (I just had pizza!)

Constantly drinking coke-zero, having a sandwich/chips in the evening, eating poorly (stopping at Wendys drive-thru) didnt allow me to reach the fitness levels I wanted at age 40.

If I worked out enough in the past, my diet wasn't all that important. Middle-age metabolism killed that dream. What worked at 25 doesnt work at 40 for me.

While I'm very active, I attribute 90% of my weight loss success to a better diet.

My ball cap fits a lot bigger now. Apparently, I lost weight from my fat head. That surprised me.
