I think often of the mental energy we waste thinking about food and size. I think the track you're on, the one that keeps you eating real food that comes from people and places you know, is the right track. But then again, I'm anti-track, because I don't believe in being on track or off track. Your last year's worth of posts have been full of the joy of food--real food, and I don't sense regret or guilt about any of those food choices. That's as it should be. I wish that those choices were transforming your body on the outside, but I do think they're transforming your thinking from the inside.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085113297341136554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520412246310459623.post-7335270342308107022010-03-19T19:22:30.757-04:002010-03-19T19:22:30.757-04:00Your comment about all the different times you'...Your comment about all the different times you've tried to walk just brought back a memory of a few years ago when I went to a "fat farm" (o.k. it was a one-week health program thingie - they hate being referred to as a fat farm).<br /><br />One of their theories was that you should walk 1 mile after each meal. So every meal - morning, noon, and night - you would immediately leave the table and walk the requisite 1 mile (they had a tree marked at the .5 mile point to make it easy to know the distance). There was some "scientific" reason why this was good for your metabolism and why the timing of just after the meal was important - but who knows what it was.<br /><br />I will say that I felt a lot better doing that. I had completely forgotten about it until now, though. Maybe I'll give it a try and see if it makes any difference - 3 one-mile walks a day would mean...well, at least 3 miles of exercise I'm not getting now! So it can't hurt.<br /><br />Good luck with your garden. Sounds wonderful.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873046572246069891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520412246310459623.post-40181557363396680502010-03-19T09:30:24.434-04:002010-03-19T09:30:24.434-04:00The gardening season is about to explode, Debbi! ...The gardening season is about to explode, Debbi!
