NEAT

NEAT - NonExercise Activity Thermogenesis (or the calories you burn really living). Funny sounding name, but the details are crucial to that life we dream of when we lose those pounds.

I just recently purchased a book by James A. Levine, M.D., PhD., and coauthered by Selene Yeager titled "Move a Little, Lose a Lot".

The very bare bones of it is about finding ways to incorporate more movement in our daily routine. We spend so much time on our rear ends that we have forgotten how just normal daily activities with movement can help us keep the weight off.

I'll go more into this in the days and weeks ahead as we add this to our backpack on this journey.
