cut the stress by any legal means you can use!
in most people, particularly those who are already overweight, stress leads to fat retention.
meditation is a very good idea.
shipping the horde off to bootcamp might be as effective
Meditation means no interruptions from the young of the species. As I homeschool them, the only hope of peace and quiet for me is to rise well before them or to go swimming during adult lap swim late at night. This not so easy as it may sound.
I'll second that. I am (was) about as hardcore macho type as you could get (cept maybe for this guy, YIKES!)
22 years of military lifestyle, fried food out of the galley, stress from the junior officers trying to kill us all, then me uprooting my entire family when I retired, etc, etc.... I was a mental and physical train wreck 2 years ago. I was the last one to think I would be doing yoga and meditating. But it really has changed my life. I am getting better and stronger every day with that sense of ballance that somehow makes it all work.
KJV right by the computer...you bet! Thats helped more than everything else combined.
