fitness regimen

I know a lot of guys have more rigorous fitness programs than me! But I'm working on improving mine. Right now, here's what has worked for me:

• diet - by eating less (usually just skipping lunch) and exercising more, I've dropped 15 lbs, going from 180 to 165. I try to eat healthier, and skip some of the junk food I used to eat. I still have a weakness for a warm apple fritter, 'tho! You can see my before and after pictures here. My wife has me on a variety of vitamin and mineral supplements, but as with exercise, I'm not always as diligent about it as I should be!

• exercise - I belong to a gym, and try to get a weekly workout with weights, treadmill, and a variety of gym equipment, focusing on my torso, back, arms, and cardio. At home, I try to do situps, pushups, and elliptical on a regular basis. I generally try for 100 cals on the elliptical (about 8 minutes), 30 situps, and 20 pushups, per session.

I recently read Laird Hamilton's Force of Nature book, and was impressed with the seriousness with which he approaches his fitness, health, and workouts. A very inspiring book.
