I've noticed that my metabolism has slowed down in the past two years or so. Some say it happens when one gets married :) While the timing of my wedding might suggest this as the cause in my case, I tend to think it's just the first sign of getting older...yikes. Metabolisms slow down naturally, but there are things one can do to get it going faster again.
Too bad I hate most of those things. I've always hated exercise. It's not fun, and it takes a good amount of time to get any results. I've considered many other things more important like studying and working. However, it seems that if I don't want my body to change dramatically, I should set exercise as a priority. Over-eating or eating total crap has never been a problem for me. I just need to be more active.
I've been doing something in the way of exercise 5 days a week for about a month now, and I can tell a difference by looking at myself. My hips are slimmer, there is some definition in my legs, and I have abs! However, I'm not really seeing it on the scale yet. I was already a healthy weight when I started, so I'm not too concerned about the numbers on a scale. I'm more interested in how clothes look on me :) I swim, do yoga, cardio (which I extra, special hate), and strength training. I try to stagger them so that I don't get too bored.
Ergh...I hate it, really I do.
