I don't think you have even a wee tiny clue how much you inspire me and SO many others. I love this plan. I love your creativity. I love your refusal to accept anything less than success.MissyEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908854239406213971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-16432671483243979892011-09-14T02:10:45.236-04:002011-09-14T02:10:45.236-04:00I know you probably don't have issues with tim...I know you probably don't have issues with time management but a lot of people who work from home do. We found something that might work for you with the whole sedentary thing. We use the pomodoro technique. Basically the premise is that you work for 25 minutes and then get up from what you are doing to take a 5 minute break. After every four pomodoros you take a longer break (15 - 20 minutes). We use it mostly because after a while your mind tends to wander to other things. Like I said though, this might help you with the whole sedentary thing. Here are links to info about the pomodoro technique if you are interested <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> and <a href="http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/" rel="nofollow">ThePomodoro Technique</a>. Let me know if it works out for you or if you even think it might.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-11210976751064784822011-09-12T21:23:43.951-04:002011-09-12T21:23:43.951-04:00I think that's a great idea!

I work on the second floor of our office and I'll set my alarm to walk up and down the stairs at the top of every hour. That in addition to the rest of the times I go up and down will add just a little extra to my workout. I need to do a little more in the evenings as well, that one I'll have to think about.<br /><br />Meanwhile - Good for you! I also liked your scale boycott.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18179203856158040224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-64003031865675212092011-09-12T19:40:12.227-04:002011-09-12T19:40:12.227-04:00I agree sister.

I park at a parking lot 10 minutes away everyday. So I left one bag there and at the break went and walked to get it. 20 minutes of exercise just like that! Woohoo! I'm sending lots of its gonna work vibes your way!

I am sedentary, too, in my job; I have to figure out how I can do something like this as well so that the old metabolism burns more efficiently throughout the day, not just during the formal workout time. Hope it does the trick for you and the Mr.!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794334786555278616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-84452782379797510412011-09-12T14:23:51.857-04:002011-09-12T14:23:51.857-04:00i LOVE this post and the idea as well! i have to g...i LOVE this post and the idea as well! i have to go up 4 flights of stairs every morning through Penn Station and some days i run up them or other days I skip a step as I climb, it does make a difference. I also walk for at least 30 minutes on my lunch break through NYC it helps counteract all my sitting at my desk job. <br /><br />Keep it up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400115061978827553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-26733948935536636092011-09-12T11:11:22.450-04:002011-09-12T11:11:22.450-04:00Thanks so much for the support everyone!

An extra 24 minutes a day, plus the walk in the evening is going to add up to a sizeable amount by the end of the week. You are creating your own equivelent of taking the stairs at work or parking in the farthest parking spot. Sounds smart to me.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397053048120628254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-10956449073955744172011-09-12T09:03:06.016-04:002011-09-12T09:03:06.016-04:00It is good to see the old Mrs. back who refuses to...It is good to see the old Mrs. back who refuses to give up and will try everything to get things moving again.sandybrunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816623961725263895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-67279497591412455602011-09-12T09:01:49.451-04:002011-09-12T09:01:49.451-04:00I really think eating more will help in this case ...I really think eating more will help in this case ~ It goes against everything we think, yes.
