David E. Fleenor, General Counsel, Office of the Governor

Some of the lifestyle changes Dave has made include a lower fat diet, primarily the Weight Watcher’s program. He said he enjoys Weight Watchers because the program does not eliminate his favorite foods, but stresses portion size and not overdoing it. He has also started an exercise program. In the beginning he started walking, but since has moved on to cycling and using a rowing machine at the gym.
