Routine Movements

Two quotes from  Weighing the Evidence on Exercise by Gretchen Reynolds with just a twist of lime to flavor them.

"Exercise “re-established the homeostatic steady state between intake and expenditure to defend a lower body weight,” the study authors concluded. Running had remade the rats’ bodies so that they ate less."
A hopefully productive reworking: Routine remakes our thoughts' bodies so that they eat/taste more.

"Standing, for both men and women, burned multiple calories but did not ignite hunger. One thing is going to become clear in the coming years, Braun says: if you want to lose weight, you don’t necessarily have to go for a long run. 'Just get rid of your chair.'"

To twist our thought, we may not need grand gestures, it may be as simple as getting pulling the seat from under our own thoughts.
