relaxing

Greetings blue team. I hope you are all well and ready to relax this week. I am grateful for the bonus challenge this week. What a great idea!
I read about a study (that I haven't managed to find for you) having to do with stress and weight gain. Two groups of mice were overfed and one group was exposed to various types of stress. The second group wasn't. Both groups gained weight, but the non-stressed group gained it evenly and the stressed group gained in the mid-section - around the vital organs. Crazy, right? This is all the more reason to take time to relax. Stress management is part of a healthy lifestyle, too. Thanks for reminding us, Kali.

Also, I'd like to report that I didn't eat anything fried last week even though I was sorely tempted - and I lost two more pounds.

Nice work on your challenges. It's been fun to see what everyone was up to - we all have our various vices. Last week was a good chance to own up and take charge.
