thats right Star--there has to be plenty of (i'll use this word) exercise, but it doesnt need to be more than just some stretching and walking, pulling weeds in the garden, just so your body is in motion is going to burn calories and increase your metabolism.
we're all getting lazier, in that we have gadgets so that we dont move like we used to.. we have automatic garage door openers, we dont even roll our car windows down anymore, we push a button, etc, etc. so if we can just move the body more instead of less, there will be a noticeable difference.
