“Weight Loss” and activity are interesting propositions.
Whenever I am in Manhattan, I can walk a few miles and be fine. There is a lot of interesting stuff to see, and it is really fun.
Walking in my area? Not so fun.
Thus, I found that not having the unlimited metrocard, along with not having a lot of money for travel, that I spent a lot of time in my area. Which means: less exercise, less fresh fruits and vegetables.
Its also an issue that “weight loss” requires such minute attention to detail, that it seems any small deviation means no weight loss. Whereas, maintaining my weight is nothing harder than making sure I am making better choices and not binging.
I do think that the LHAS challenge did make me realize exactly how much I was moving when I was in the city. Having to keep track of it made a difference.
