I&#8217;ve lost about five pounds\u00a0in the last couple months, and even better, an inch and a half off my waistline.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m already in decent enough shape, and wasn&#8217;t looking to lose a bunch of weight \u00a0&#8211;just trying to keep it under control as I close in on 50. I figured I could stand to lose five or 10 pounds, but was more focused on feeling healthy.<br \/>\nAs is so often the case, small changes have\u00a0big impacts. So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been doing:\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>I have a few bags of nuts and seeds at work&#8211;cashews, peanuts, sunflowers&#8211;and a handful here and there really staves off hunger (and starchy things, like the sugary granola bars they sell at work). Higher protein, higher fat; the pangs go away without ingesting much.<\/li>\n<li>I keep dark chocolate bars at work. A few shards knock out my sugar cravings, and I&#8217;m happy to believe the cretins who suggest that dark chocolate is good for one&#8217;s health.<\/li>\n<li>I brought a 32 ounce\u00a0water bottle to work, and I try to drink one per morning and another per afternoon. It fills me up, water is great for you, and man, lots of exercise running to and from the head.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m not a big fruit eater, but I&#8217;ve gone crazy for clementines this winter. I&#8217;m eating at least a couple each day. They&#8217;re replacing something that&#8217;s likely something starchy.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m thinking twice about all processed foods. The includes anything out of a cereal box. I love cereal, but two or three times a week is plenty. And just one bowl; if I&#8217;m still hungry, a handful of nuts or a clementine will do.<\/li>\n<li>Carrots are my friend, plain or dipped in hummus. It&#8217;s not hard to find good ones year-round; smaller and thinner are the tastiest, and they really don&#8217;t need to be peeled, so they&#8217;re very easy to eat &#8212; at home or wherever. Best of all, they keep my jaw busy, soaking up plenty of nervous energy, and maybe even resulting in a net loss of calories when all&#8217;s said and done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>I have been running more on the weekends, and I still do my twice weekly workout with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CaptainQuinnsBootCamp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jon Captain Quinn<\/a>. That&#8217;s helped a lot with muscle mass, endurance, and posture. But I suspect that the weight loss has more to do with diet than exercise. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m eating less, but smarter, replacing a few not-so-good things with a few great things.Anyway, repeat after me: small changes. Small changes. SMALL CHANGES!<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6019\" style=\"width: 573px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-6019\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/newvinegrowing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/lou-rosenfeld-ia-summit-10k-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Lou didn't just make small changes for himself.
