LA has been so freakin hot since June that I don't want to step foot outside or work up any additional sweat! I sit around inactive and depressed, eating ice cream to stay cool... I have been riding the horse a lot (before she got sick) but that's not really aerobic. SF's cool weather year round, 50-60s, just made you want to go hiking or walking around the city.
Plus, I got into a great enjoyable routine of riding the exercise bike during lunch at Leapfrog's tiny on-campus gym. Current company doesn't have any sort of gym and it takes away so much time to drive to the gym at lunch. I only get 30min on the bike and that just doesn't cut it weight loss or maintenance.
And now I'm flying off to school 3 night per week and don't have time. Plus I've noticed exercising earlier in the day takes off more weight then after work, weird. I get a massive headache if I exercise before work or outside in the sun during lunch.
(The school and horse have pushed me off my Eat to Live diet but I'm starting to get back on it and plan to completely once the horse is better.)
Grrrrr.

just reading your blog for the first time -- been so busy. I hope horse is better as a result of the Lyme disease treatment. Have you thought of swimming for exercise in LA? Maybe the college has a pool that students can use at certain times -- or you could join a Y. Swimming is a great exercise for all over body fitness and can easily be enjoyed in a hot climate. Then you will not be so tempted to resort to ice cream.
Swimming makes me incredibly hungry.
