I actually started doing yoga yesterday. I keep them on my DVR and will probably do the programs a couple times a day. Back in February I dropped an inch by just walking during a three day SCA event and pulling little children around in a wagon. I know it was not an eating issue, since I was constantly eating. Unfortunately, in the city and 102 degree heat there aren't as many places that I can walk with five kids.
I notice the weeks that I don't eat as much are actually the weeks I seem to gain more. I assume it's the body's starvation mode.
I've noticed that, too....And when I switched to water, it seemed that my stomach (not my bladder, my stomach) got much more distended than it ever did from pop . Weird!
