Two ways: 1.) I bought and elliptical trainer machine and put it on my balcony, and do 30 minutes on that most mornings (often while watching some computer conference talk or something on a tablet — something mildly interesting but ok if i don’t pay it full attention) 2.) stopped ordering lunch and dedicated a whole hour to cooking and eating lunch I’m not even a good cook, at all; but home-cooked food is just so much healthier, generally, that it is hard to go wrong. I find easy recipes for simple dishes on the web. So yesterday I cut up about 500g of mushrooms, carrots, cauliflower, and hot peppers, tossed them in 20ml olive oil and 2.5ml “Janes krazy salt” (or something, you know, one of those salt-plus-pepper-and-spices brands). While that roasted for 15 minutes at 200 C, I dumped a bag of pre washed salad greens into a huge bowl, and cut up some tomatoes and beets to augment it, and threw on a bag of steamed grains and caesar dressing. That process plus eating takes almost the whole hour. While I think taking an hour off to just like, think or rest your brain is probably good for everybody, I personally have a hard time with feeling like I am wasting time, so I joined Audible and I listen to various nonfiction audio books during my solo lunch prep and eat time. I also initially gained fat mass weight during 2020, after transitioning from commuting by bike a lot of the time and going out places to being home basically all the time. But after several months of the above 2 changes, all the extra weight was gone.
