By golly I got it! That weight I've put on over the last year is because I haven't been walking as much (ahem, at all) since moving out of NYC. It's not the food or the gym or my age-- it's that sitting on my ass in my car has replaced walking and standing on those hot subway platforms. Duh!
This crystal clear moment came to me as we were walking along Smith St in Brooklyn yesterday. It was a warm and sorta muggy day in the city and the roughly 10 block walk from the Carroll St station to Atlantic Ave had me feeling tired and gross. This was really pathetic because I used to power walk down this stretch without thinking anything of it.
Now that I've figured out the problem, I need a solution. LA isn't so walkable, so maybe I need to hit the treadmill most days after work...

The Rose Bowl is a great 3.5 mile walk. Pretty flat and always well populated.
I walk all the way around Costco to get all the free samples, but for some reason, that's not helping.

I understand exactly what you mean...except for me it's the reverse...I moved out of the suburban life to the downtown metropolis so I don't need to exercise...just walk to the bookstore or the metro and there we go.
My brother used to live near the Carroll St. station. He and his wife walked so fast I could barely keep up with them!
