Hm, this topic interests me greatly, as my discipline to workout/train/eat-healthy has atrophied over the past five years.
Funny thing is, I don't feel like I've really done that far downhill. I'm about 20lbs. over what my ideal weight is, but its scarcely noticeable. I have about 1-2 drinks a day on average, and only get drunk once or twice a month. I smoke about 5 cigs a week, and I eat home cooked meals almost every day.
My blood pressure is normally around 140/85, cholesterol is within normal ranges, and my muscle mass has only slightly decreased - I've just lost some definition and added some fat.
Mind you, the only exercise I do is walking (I go on 2-4 mile walks occasionally).
Fitness enthusiasts, what do you think would be the best change to make to drop those 20lbs. and get back in better shape? Could I keep the same diet, and just get back into a workout regimen you think, or would I have to cut into alcohol/dietary habits?
