Exercise

[rowyn]

On the one hand, this would explain why taking up regular exercise has only kept me around the same weight for the last three or four years. Since apparently I'm supposed to exercise an hour a day just to avoid gaining more weight. Even on a good week I'm not doing that much. (Although it depends in part on what exactly qualifies as "moderate" vs "high" intensity.) So actually, I am fortunate in not having gained weight since 2009. Yay?

On the other hand: ARGH. Stupid fleshy body, so demanding. x.x

(On a tangential note: even after taking exercise off my resolution list, I'm still exercising 4-5 times a week. So I haven't thrown up my hands and given up. YET.)

I don't try to avoid snacks, myself, but I do try to eliminate cheese and I switched from white rice to brown rice. It may make a difference what kind of snacks one chooses as well. Dried fruit might make a wholesome snack.

I've been pondering a more difficult task, reducing or eliminating oil in cooking for myself. Most all of the recipes I know involve frying!
