It's so great that you're keeping on track. I love your idea of getting the express bus into the city, what a great idea, and so much better than sitting in a stuffy bus for the whole journey. Hope uni is going well too--I'm sure the walking helps to clear your head from all that information overload too! Cathy,

Later, when I had that underway I started walking the reverse option in the late arvo which meant I had an uphill option followed by an even flat walk. I don't necessarily get an express bus home though. It is possibly only 20mins total but it's enough! Somedays I think I won't walk the reverse as I'm quite tired from the rabbit warren of the Uni but I walk on the opposite side of a road (where I could get another service home) and before I know I'm at the overbridge waiting for the next bus out West :-) Combining that with portion control I seem to be staying at an even weight balance...ok, I have at least a couple of treats per week/food....but I am aware of balancing out other parts of fuel intake to compensate. Today/Saturday I needed to get some groceries so I decided I would have some lunch at the Mall. I finally decided on a Mediterran type salad from Muffin Break. Everyone around me was eating a huge muffin and one lady commented that mine looked quite tasty. It wasn't a large bowl but it was very nice a mix of roasted vege and raw veg with some ?feta bits.

Not like I never get those feelings ever, but when I'm exercising, it's like I feel a lot more in control of my life. Just going for a walk helps clear the brain and can do wonders if you are feeling low, stressed, overwhelmed, sad.... Thanks for reminding us of other long-term benefits of exercise.

All valid points and it really makes you wonder why some people refuse to exercise. When you list the benefits like this it seems stupid not to. Good post Mel.
