Ice-cream, candies and cakes were always within an easy reach, whenever I wanted them. Needless to say, after three weeks of this food and drinks paradise, the results started to show… **ON MY BELLY!!!** ![](http://tinyurl.com/y9qo6gvv) https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWe31FC4qzu47T5P61SEVt1aCYR4LZtbqApSjYitnrhh/12.png Inspired by @scrooger’s **HEALTH/FITNESS CHALLENGE** (and [its impressive results so far](https://steemit.com/health/@scrooger/day-75-100-of-the-fitness-health-challenge-down-6-4kg-14-1lb-or-75-done-or-thank-you-steemit)), I decided to implement some much-needed changes in my lifestyle. Since I got home, I stopped eating red meat and have been following pescotarian diet (meaning eating vegetarian plus fish and seafood). I don’t eat dairies, because I don’t like them. I stopped eating sweets and cut down bread in my diet by 90%. Finally, I completely stopped drinking alcohol. It’s been nearly three weeks without wine and beer. I’m doing well, not missing alcohol that much. Just a little, like my traditional #BeerSaturday or a glass of wine in the end of the long work week. I generally feel more energetic during the day, but I notice that I’m often feeling hungry – more often than before – and that I need to eat more frequent – but smaller – meals. I snack on carrots, bananas, and apples, when the hunger attacks. https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWe31FC4qzu47T5P61SEVt1aCYR4LZtbqApSjYitnrhh/12.png ### I renewed my gym membership today, yay!! ![](http://tinyurl.com/y74ro5eu) I put in a decent workout, interval cardio on an elliptical crosstrainer first, followed by a couple simple exercises with dumbbells. Then I enjoyed some relaxing time in the club’s sauna. I cycled home, ate lunch, and dropped dead asleep. :D I wonder how many days it will take me to start looking as good as @scrooger does. And how long I will last without red wine… ## Here’s to new, healthier, leaner me!! https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWe31FC4qzu47T5P61SEVt1aCYR4LZtbqApSjYitnrhh/12.png ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/VEZeJix5OmPVAuuwuPGwru66fqcZpslPI-woIG5CbskygDGOWNm8XsyWoF7Dc5yROt8ZbczvwbxqycRpNbYIHiLNNDT63_BZYjigk52MGBVxM_E-EcDvBaoSgkyokkch0qF0OScnp-UpSOdCmBMSTs_VRTKsvy_cFhbjoRkKRdRXYz5Sa9fmj4mWjx4OsO3Oh3Ns-JvzSsnmCx9vNiJ7QKGLR1XlcN43NxhPCLmyqrWkZPPnQOM7sItICZPga5XSTXFPqwH7uXoTWhtcU44TZHc0Ebwev_7TGNPvvZ0C9mRaK_JO8KpuD_qOLyl7OcrA2GWITyQdR09qpiOYVRkpiy1jADfOPI1n0OgQeZGl9oQVQ5qzjQZRXYIdGpc0eqx7OUw_7XiCaMh0_XqC3o7_NCCmex1V-BFqziZsXgmvuyWsPTPtOK2cLbBrVnJnj5qKfd8o23Gl1E5qROHw2tiNpBITmGa-2EkRwmTY2uVL4OZhDc_QSMIw2nEyFv06S91ZaDF7mpHgJ7ogZhhZqtbPw5o9I6EoSt3SyScc5yBaWvjYP8Od2j2OUOXteYsrsYs07K7jqGWQo7PbfudrXPSq3xqsabFVEkAesVFEAgl94zQe_qKCFL4zRvzIOrEnRQsqbTeEMuZdHp1Wb-tvBPX0UXHpcFk5jzJx6ZQEZI-BpFFtMPo=w995-h624-no) ____ [![](https://steemitimages.com/50x60/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/commented.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) [![](https://steemitimages.com/60x70/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/votes.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) [![](https://steemitimages.com/70x80/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/posts.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) [![](https://steemitimages.com/100x80/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/level.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) [![](https://steemitimages.com/70x80/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/comments.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) [![](https://steemitimages.com/60x70/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/voted.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) [![](https://steemitimages.com/50x60/http://steemitboard.com/@oleg326756/payout.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=oleg326756) ![](http://www.wakeupcall.se/images/oleg326756.png)
