What type of exercises and what foods did you eat?.
Paleo type diet, so lots of fruit, veggies and meat. Almost no dairy, just some greek yogurt with fruit.
For exercise, well....Running, kickboxing, shadow boxing, previously endurance weight lifting, currently power oriented weight lifting, weight lifting based cardio circuit (read pick 3-4 exercises and cycle them for 20-30 minutes without rest), 20-30 minute interval sprints/jogs, lamp post sprints (sprinting from one lamp post to the next per block on my run home).
To give you some examples of my cardio circuits....Body weight based 25 butt to heel squats, 10 4 count jumping jacks, 10 burpees, 10 4 count jumping jacks, 10 divebombers, rinse and repeat. Barbell based one: 10 dead lifts, 10 inverted rows, 20 spiderman push ups, 10 thai knees per side, rinse and repeat. The worst I think I've done was 10 dead lifts, 10 sumo dead lifts, 10 stiff legged dead lifts, 20 pushups, repeat. When you're doing push ups and thinking "thank god for the rest".....
Almost forgot, my work is quite physical as well. I pretty much flip 50lb bags onto my shoulders like they're nothing now.
And you want funny, you should see me doing pogos after calf exercises.
