Yes that's part of what impresses me so much about this. Back 5-6 years ago I literally used to mountain bike daily and ran around a lot at work. So I was *always* on the go. For the past 4 years or so I've worked from home and have been so stationary that I eat at my desk, am there all day and night, and only leave to go to sleep and use the restroom.
My boyfriend had gained so much weight that he didn't feel *able* to bike and such. So we began in small steps, doing some walking and such as we began to lose weight. But really, the more weight we lost, the more energy we got, the more we'd just go out for walks or out mowing the lawn and such.
Even so, I am still stationary most of the time. I don't exercise regularly (as much as I mean to). But when we were down in Florida we were walking all day on long hiking trails without any trouble at all, while my sister was quite tired. And I felt *great*! It's all because we're eating more healthy now.
So yes, now I want to exercise more - and most importantly I have the *energy* to! Before I felt so sluggish, when I ate tons of carbs. My energy was like a rollercoaster - short highs and long sluggish lows. Now I have a nice even keel, I'm up for a walk in the morning or going out doing stuff in the evening.
And our food is so delicious <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, salmon! We eat so much better than we ever did before.
