Lately I’ve been doing this diet where I eat all fruits and veggies, except for 1 meal a day. I didn’t really intend to do it, it just sort of happened, since I do love my fruits and veggies.

As for exercise – yes walking counts. Also I hate when gym class times are really inconvenient. It’s like all of your good intentions go to waste.

I also second the cutting of diet pop, or any pop really. The amount of sugar (or non-sugar in diet) is not good for anyone. The best way to address the use of sugar is actually to do a low glycemic-index diet. It’s more of a lifestyle though and takes some commitment. I’ve been on it for about 3 years now.

Yay for taking charge and taking action! Sounds like the yoga in your apt. complex will work for you – that’s great. And I’m excited that you’re doing NaNoWriMo too – we should be official writing buddies. I’m not sure how you’re listed – I’m “Holly Forrest.”

One thing you might reconsider is the diet soda. Iced tea is wonderful, and so is hot tea, especially green tea because of all the health benefits. But I read this and sent it on to my brother because he drinks diet soda: http://health.yahoo.com/experts/drmao/20270/what-soft-drinks-are-doing-to-your-body/

I think it’s a good diet… This summer I went on a very similar diet, and I got great results!!
But I hate any kind of exercise… Well, except for walking. Is that exercise? Does that count?
Btw, good luck with your novel!

I would give my left nut for some cold weather. I’d give the right one too. I don’t even like nuts.They just sit there.

I’m just playing around with different layouts right now with the idea of eventually moving this blog over there, but I haven’t decided for sure yet. I’ll be on this site until further notice. Haven’t seen the Monty Python thing, sounds cool!

Have you abandoned A Work in Progress? Or are you just starting it up? I love the underground adventure theme. Have you seen Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride with the Monty Python guys? Some fun scenes in Mole’s home are truly underground adventures.

Between this dessert and the chocolate cake you baked in the following post, I’m having trouble not reaching for my daughter’s Halloween candy stash.

Thanks for visiting my blog today! I’m looking forward to sharing your blog with my daughter. She’s a science girl too. And New Mexico is a beautiful state. So we’ll be back, Maureen!

Aah, I remember biomass calculations and cover percentage exercises in the rain when I was a student. Fun fun fun NOT.

When I was in undergrad I took an ecology class where for lab we went out to the prof’s land and basically surveyed it for him. It involved clipping and biomass content and all that. But we were in dense forest, so even when there was snow on the ground, we were covered by the trees.
