No bread, no crackers or snacks that are made with wheat. No pasta etc.

I don't think I could ever live without pasta or bread, two things that make up most of my diet lol.

Indeed!
I'm sure it is an effective way of shedding weight and all, but giving up bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, dairy products and the most important of all, beer, would have me study painless ways to do a Harakiri..

30 minutes on the eliptical. Weights. Kettleball shrugs. Pushups and then 5 minutes on the Stair Machine. Can't believe how that Stair Machine opens up the lungs at the end of a workout. OK, I'm pooped again........

Thank you Carl for opening this thread!

Today I had a day off so this was my Sunday morning exercise:

I run a 10km race @ 51'. I hoped to beat my the 50' p.b. but the route was quite difficult.

Yeah, it's hard, and I must say (as can possibly be gathered by all my references to German beer) I haven't given up beer! I haven't given up dairy, just bread, pasta, rice, other grains and legumes. This is the food pyramid I'm trying to follow:

I workout 1 hour each day, 6 dsys a week. Today was 10 rounds of boxing, 3 minutes each, 3 minutes between rounds doing calisthenics/stretching lifting. Alternate between speed bag, heavy bag punching, heavy bag kicking.
I go low on simple carbs, except for beer and bourbon. Lots of fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats. Over 18 months burned over 200000 calories, lost 10 lbs , gained some muscle.
