weight

I just realized that I have probably gained 5 pounds from this intense writing spell I've been doing. It is not because I've been sitting so much and not going for walks etc. (although that is a factor). But I think I've probably gained weight because I am at my most productive when I have a little snack that I can nibble on as I write. It could be raisins or carrots or cookies, or nuts, or jordan almonds (YUM!), or whatever...just as long as I can take a bite every once in a while to keep my brain moving. The key is to make sure the snack is a fairly healthy one. This trick seems to help for getting lots of writing done...unfortunately, it is also helping my hips ;-)
