Walking is a great way to burn off calories while in San Francisco, but it's not the only way.
From Eileen: We all know how easy it is to fall off the exercise wagon when you are on the road. A trip to San Francisco last week reminded me how hard it is to keep motivated when you are off your regular routine.
San Francisco is a great walking city and there are plenty of hills to get your cardio in, but there also are any number of places to pack in the calories!
Dreaming of a cupcake to reward yourself for all that dieting work? Well, you may have to reframe your fantasies.
From Eileen: A friend of mine started a big-time diet and exercise program last week. She jumped in with her typical gregarious enthusiasm, setting up sessions with a personal trainer, reading food labels, packing her lunch, counting her calories … and telling everyone “This is it, guys! This is it!”
After the first week, she stayed on course, losing a pound. Not a smashing success, but a great start nonetheless. She was pretty pleased with her progress. Slow is OK because this was it, the real deal.
