32 by 40

The countdown is on. I turn 40 in 126 days and have set a goal for myself to lose 32 pounds by my birthday, thus 32 by 40. If you break it down, I need to lose just shy of 2 pounds per week for the next 18 weeks. How am I going to achieve this? I don't have a fully baked plan, but my goal is to increase my physical activity and eat healthier. When I trained for the two half marathons that I ran in 2005 (I can't believe it's already been almost 3 years), I was running 4 times a week. I would typically run 4 miles 3 days during the week with a long run on the weekend. My current plan is to run 4 times a week, but I am going to run Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturday, and Sunday. I seem to have much more time during the weekends, although I may need to rethink that with the UT football season upon us. I don't know how well I will run "carb loading" on Miller Lite. I'll post the results of my progress.
