The End Game

So how did I get to my sad state of affairs at 233 pounds a couple years ago? First, I did zero exercise. ZERO! Second, I ate arbitrary food -- hamburgers, pizza, fries, etc. Third, I entirely failed to weigh myself -- even monthly.
OK. I'm done with that. Never again will I be so neglectful.
So why keep on with the 5:2? 1 of 3 of my closest male relatives had heart surgery in his 60's. His father died of a cardiac arrest in his 60's, as did his mom. Oh, yeah, other side effects: less snoring (I'm told), less acid reflux at night, better circulation (I think my body has recycled miles of capillaries that formerly fed my fat cells).
Some other strategies to keep all this going:
1) No injuries. As they say say in the cycling and aviation world -- keep the shiny side up.
2) Continue to emphasize protein and fiber in all meals.
3) Try hard not to be too smug or preachy.
4) Renew my weight training - bench press of 285 pounds; dead lift 375, barbell squat 295.
5) Be awesome.
