Dieting results in long term changes to hormones and muscle fibers.

197. What you are talking about is a mindfulness about training that many aren't motivated to share.

I really get why people who are involved in amateur athletic competitions would be interested in tracking the minutiae of how they spend excercise time to make it more effective.

The reason that I don't is that I don't want to, period. I prefer thinking about the most efficient adjustment to my precinct map (where to lock up the bike, how much walking vs biking), mentally running through changes to articles or slide shows that I'm working on, how to deal with people in my local Dem organizations that are at each other's throats because of contested primaries, etc. I combine cooking with other necessary household tasks like laundry, bill paying or mail sorting.

Which is, of course, the main problem with making weight loss a major project--it seriously interferes with living.
