Master of my gastric domain

Some guys at work started a weight-loss contest. They thought I should join. I figured they had a point, so I did.
There are steep financial penalties for failure to shed the pounds. (We all have a common target percentage.).
So far, I've eaten right for almost a week. That's about equal to my total number of good days all last year. Plus this'll be my 5th day of serious exercise in a row. That's more than I mustered since before Halloween.
Given that my weight was fairly stable for the past 6 months, this dramatic relative improvement in my diet and exercise regimen should get me where I need to be.
The hard part will be staying there (or even getting healthier still).
