OK, for most of my life, I've differentiated between pressure and stress:
  • Pressure = Your circumstances
  • Stress = How you respond to your circumstances and metabolize them into your body


For the last month, I've been under STRESS!

And although I don't believe I've curtailed my eating and time/weather has precluded regularly scheduled exercise, I've lost 10.5 pounds.

Under normal circumstances, this might be good, but I'm not excited when it doesn't appear to be a result of conscious effort.

The only thing that is different is that I'm eating more apples...otherwise, I feel like I eat a lot.

My BP is elevated as well - it's at 140/90...typically before, it averaged 110/70.

What about stress metabolizes into weight loss?
