Dang it I wondered where you went. But I feel your pain. I work in an office, generally on shifts for several months at a time and my running has tapered off. I have opted to drink more water, diet soda's (still unhealthy unfortunately... see the work shift comment!). I was and am doing much like you with the fresh fruit (Bannana's, grapes, green apples and celery in my case). Glad you are feeling better and looking better. I think I need to get a bike as I would like lower impact and riding just seems more enjoyable than running used to.

As a result of simple diet I was able to much like you drop pounds. My weight was only 170+ and I was able to chop it down to the mid 160's but I have a naturally slender build due to metabolism, used to be 140-145 when I was in the army for 20 years and running 20+ miles a week. People don't understand you stop working out for 4-5 years and diet + sedentary lifestyle = instant 20-30 pound weight gain. Hard to keep it off and stay in shape.
