Look up "calisthenics" on YouTube. There are a lot of workouts avaiable and you don't have to go to the gym.
Also, try not to be too hard of yourself... look at all the good stuff you're doing and practice self-care and give yourself rewards: a nice bath for instance or a long shower, listening to music you like... etc. |

Long walks are good. 130 is a good weight. Try to eat the same things every day to keep you at that weight

You are currently at a very healthy weight. I know you might not like to hear that, but it's true. Those big weight fluctuations are hard on the body too. And just keep thinking about the negative heath effects of bulimia, especially to your teeth. Not to mention having your electrolytes get wonky b/c of that is not going to help you out on a long hike.

1. Sounds like if you reframe the stage-building work as exercise rather than work, you might gain strength and endurance from it. This idea comes from reading Ellen Langers, who wrote about a study in which two cohorts of housekeepers were studied. One cohort was instructed to think of the job as an exercise program. At the end of the study, this group showed improved fitness compared to the control group.
Some exercises that don't require a gym membership:

I thought I"d post before losing all that content.
But I'm not done with you yet! Breathing is so important. In martial arts, a strong exhale punctuates every strike to make it most powerful. You've heard the Sensei yell "Kiya" as he or she breaks a stack of flaming boards. My thought is that also it distracts you from the pain you'd feel when your fist strikes the target. And now for something different. 2. I have no idea about what you're writing about in #2, sorry. 3. When I met my wife for the first time, she was about your size, perhaps 140lb. We enjoyed hiking, and eventually we honeymooned in the White Mountains and hiked nearly every day. I was much better than her going uphill. (But my childhood prepared me for this. I was born the third child in a home meant for only two children. When I was old enough to go up and down the stairs, my parents got a humidifier for the basement and made my bedroom there. So I was stair climbing a great deal earlier than most.) Yet my wife could zip back and forth in the kitchen faster than me, and shop for hours in a huge soul-draining department store whereas I could barely walk to the furniture department and do my seated mannequin impression, and she could navigate the NYC streets while I was dazed and overwhelmed and afraid she'd leave me behind. Weight fluctuates. I think the menses play a role in a monthly fluctuation. Inflammation also mimics weight gain. If I could stick with a paleo diet, I'd be back to a comfortable weight. But once I eat some bread, then, Bam, my stomach protrudes and I feel myself in a stronger gravitational field (heavy legs and like I'm walking through waist deep water). I used to post my stats weekly on my blog (weight, % body fat, waist size). But I've kinda given up on that for a while. If you're interested, you can see it here: Thoughts of a Square Peg on a Round World: Weight-o-Meter Right now, all my numbers are going up because of my summer "*****et List" __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 100mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |
