The Physics of Weight Loss

Great. Send me an article that says that exercise is not all that effective in weight loss, just when I have begin an exercise program. Do you realize how easy it is to use these kinds of arguments to talk myself out of exercising?

So, I should breath more and eat less, right? Is that it? How is that going to help my muscles get stronger or increase my flexibility?

Sigh... there is too much contradicting information out there to not be confusing.

I know my mom meant well to send me the link, but I hate when I get told I am wasting my time and efforts on building a "good" habit. I once had a dental assistant tell me I did not need to brush my teeth more than once a day, just when I was trying to develop the habit of brushing in the morning as well as at night, which effectively ended that habit right there.

I refuse to let this one become an excuse to not stick to my commitment to exercise regularly. (And you thought DDR was the only way to get exercise using the XBox!)
