The hardest message for me to get across to my meeting members (and the thing that I therefore LEAST successful at) is convincing them that "extremes are not sustainable." Extreme exercise and/or dieting leads to burnout and bingeing.<br /><br />"Moderation" has no sex appeal. Portion control sounds so uninteresting.<br /><br />But my rule of thumb is this: Don't do anythingJack Sprathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894134532509615370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772508.post-44636193738138164352006-12-19T13:33:00.000-05:002006-12-19T13:33:00.000-05:00Since you mentioned that you welcome all comments....Since you mentioned that you welcome all comments...I can't resist saying that I was SO glad that Kai didn't win TBL. Didn't care who else won, just didn't want it to be her! But as it turns out I did like the guy who won, so that was even better.<br /><br />I have to say TBL has the strangest effect on me - something about watching it always made me want to eat...a lot. So I would end up denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345289273014955410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772508.post-1307806581959909022006-12-19T12:19:00.000-05:002006-12-19T12:19:00.000-05:00I think that the people at 24-hour fitness are hal...I think that the people at 24-hour fitness are half right -- overdoing the exercise and undereating are a problem, but mostly because no one can sustain it forever, so it's just a matter of time before we say, "Screw it" and then revert to our old bad habits (or find new, even worse ones). I think that a more moderate approach not only saves our sanity, but it allows us to stick with it long Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700614225224691712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772508.post-89282803850111667032006-12-19T10:41:00.000-05:002006-12-19T10:41:00.000-05:00I bought a nice pedometer right before Thanksgivin...I bought a nice pedometer right before Thanksgiving to wear when I walked at my parent's house.<br /><br />After reading your past two posts, I feel motivated to find it and strap it on. I think I will try it on my shoes, oops I wear flip flops most of the day, so I guess I will have to keep it at my hip.Grumpy Chairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17719618593765537673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772508.post-63453159665766058322006-12-19T10:27:00.000-05:002006-12-19T10:27:00.000-05:00I bought an Omron pedometer last spring and I beca...I bought an Omron pedometer last spring and I became completely obsessed with it. It was accurate; I can wear it in my bra or a pocket. It keeps track for 7 days. It is perfect.<br /><br />I found myself easily getting to 11 or 12,000 steps a day even when I only took the dogs for a 2 mile walk. <br /><br />Interesting thing about working (and your older obsession with working hard).
