The trip to Boston last week was fruitful because, for the first time on a trip like this, I actually lost weight. For a sedentary desk worker in his early sixties with a propensity for packing on pounds, that is quite a feat. I did not lose much (a little more than a pound), but I did not follow my normal pattern and add a few pounds. Dedicated use of my Fitbit to walk 8000+ steps per day while eating less than 1200 calories did it. I am not sure how this is going to work in the winter in Boston when the snow is a foot deep, but will try to work it out when I get there.
