"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased." ---Ralph Waldo Emerson
Since my weigh-in last Thursday, I have not been a very good boy. I have cheated on my program. Nothing too serious, but I do not want to step on the scale. I have been dealing with a wee-bit more stress than usual. I did not reach for tons of food or binge, but I did increase to around 2200 calories per day. However, the week is not lost as of yet. I may not do well in the weight loss challenge weigh-in on Thursday, but my own weigh-in on Sunday could tell a decent story. Honestly, I would be content to walk away from this week with no gain and be very happy.
Stress is a killer. Literally, it can just destroy your life. I do not like stress and I am unhappy when I feel stress. In my program I have dealt with stress with added exercise. However, I have been so busy that my exercise level has decreased slightly this week. However, in the morning it is back to a 3-mile hike on the path near the mountains. I have four days until my own Sunday morning weigh-in, I had better be good because I do not want a bad Sunday. ;-)
Stress causes whole body deterioration

Stress, to put it bluntly, is bad for you. It can kill you, in fact. A study now reveals that stress causes deterioration in everything from your gums to your heart and can make you more susceptible to everything from the common cold to cancer.
