I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)

San Francisco's also great for walking.
I will probably be out of town on February 1st, but I MIGHT be able to report to you my progress in person!! I'll tell you more via PM.
One thing that's inhibiting my progress that Meryl touched on earlier is stress. This fall I was very active and didn't overeat, but because I was majorly stressed out most of the time, I lost ground in the fitness area. Stress causes cortisol to be released into your bloodstream and that tells your body to add weight and conserve energy. It also makes you very tired and you can't have a good fitness regime when you're alway tired.
Last week was relatively stress free until Sunday when I was at home. I always find being at home very stressful. This time, my teenage son was just being himself, and by the end of the afternoon, my nerves were shot!! I wanted a drink so badly, but instead I lit my new soy oil candle. Have you seen them? The soy oil is warmed and liquified by the flame. You can scoop it out with a little (included) silver spoon and put it directly on your skin and massage it in. Heavenly!! However, I welcome more stress busting tips. I think you can all guess what my second favorite stress busting activity is...hanging out here!!

I found a good way to improve my workout. For an outdoor hike, I loaded two gallon jugs of water into my backpack (total of about 25 pounds) and went about 1 1/2 miles in 33 minutes with mostly gentle but some moderate inclines/declines. My ankles hurt a little about halfway through but then I didn't notice. I was able to walk moderately fast (for me) about 3-4 steps a second. The extra weight made just walking worthwhile!
