Its coming up on a year since I've started on the "lifestyle" change. I can't say that I kept to it perfectly. In fact from about February from July or so, I had slipped. I wasn't really bad, but I wasn't being really good either. I had let the stress of work and the biggest project we had ever done. So grapes gave way to M&Ms. Well as the sugar intake went higher, the flushing side affect of Advicor got bad. Well I have had enough of it. So I've started back on my routine of exercise and health food. I don't want to say diet because it has a very temporary connotations to it. I really do want it to be a life style change. So I’ve been studying. I came across this great article in men’s health about the top ten new things you can do to keep your heart health. Check it Out

So as I mentioned I am working at exercising more and eating healthy. However I have asthma, allergy based and exercise-induced asthma. So it was kind of a catch 22, I needed to exercise to get healthy, but if I exercise I have an asthma attack. Well that doesn't sound like much fun does it. Well, I started slowly. Lifting weights, with just some dumbells and work up from there. Men's Health again has a good article on how to exercise when you have exercise-induced asthma.
