Fitness Over Thinness for Hearts (washingtonpost.com)
Being fit appears to be far more important than being thin for decreasing the risk of heart disease, while the opposite seems to be the case for diabetes, according to two new studies in women.
So far I am making some progress on getting thinner: the concierge at our building actually mentioned today that I appeared to be losing weight. My next goal is to get enough sleep, so that I can get up in the morning and do a little bit of exercise before leaving for work. If I can build a little muscle mass, it will have the added bonus of elevating my metabolism and helping me lose weight.
