Exercise

[Heather]

my mom and dad did the same thing at my age. so i'm not really worried because i know it's my very unhealthy eating and little to no exercising.

Right around 30 your metabolism starts to slow down.  I'm sure it does again later but it does around 30 too.

3 days this last week i walked at the cemetary beside my apt.

does shouting at church last night count as exercise? 

[Sis]

Sure!   Do you take these walks in the cemetary at night?.................................... During a full moon?   

[Melody]

sure shouting counts!

I actually wonder about that.  We know that exercise = endorphines = happy feelings.  For folks that don't excercise all week and then let loose on Sundays, well you just have to be sure you're not shouting to feel good as much as it is about loving God.  

I really think most people love God, don't get me wrong, I just wonder how much deeper things could even be, and how much easier it'd be for folks to judge in themselves what is a physical high and a Holy Ghost high.  Not knockin' shouting at all, I do it!

but no, i actually walk mid evening before it starts to get dusk. a few years ago there was a problem with a flasher around the area....so yeah....

And you go when it's light so you can get a better look?    OOPS! Bye!

no it's actually that way i don't have to laugh hysterically at the poor guy and give him worse self-esteem. lol.

From Woman's Day Magazine:

Common Wisdom: The More You Exercise, the Slimmer You'll Be
Reality: Move more, burn more calories, lose more weight—right? Maybe not. It turns out there really isn't much proof that doing lots of intense exercise is best for slimming down. "[It's] better to distribute the movements throughout the day," explains Hans-Rudolf Berthoud, PhD, a professor of neurobiology and nutrition at Louisiana State University, in a recent Time magazine story.

One problem is that when most of us go for a "workout," we tend to overestimate how much we're getting out it. To burn off a small chocolate milkshake, for example, you'd have to run for 50 minutes or walk for 120 minutes. A related issue, say experts, is that an extended bout of activity can stimulate your appetite so that you end up eating more than you normally would.

This doesn't mean that you shouldn't exercise; just don't feel bad if you're not a "gym" person. And remember: There's plenty of proof that physical activity helps prevent conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, so making the numbers on the scale move isn't the only reason to do it.

I got a treadmill and  have set a goal to use it at least 30 min a ay. Going back to school I dont want to set a goal I wont keep so I set it at 30 min a day

I recently started walking about 4 miles a day on a walking trail maintained by the city. Rather than focusing on dieting, I'm coming at the problem from the other direction - get in good shape (able to jog 3+ miles) and let my metabolism burn off the weight.
