Not having solid structure in my day has me going to extremes and on those insanely busy days, I find excuses for the following two days to do very little other than breathe. And sadly, most of my "busyness" is driving for miles and miles, so I'm just sitting. Heck, you'd think I could throw in an ab crunch or two, eh? Nope. One thing I AM going to try to do is just walking in place during commercial breaks. Let's face it, I'm going to watch my tv shows no matter what, so if I'm going to be a slacker that way, if I just stand up and march in place for the 3 minutes of commercials every time, that should do SOMETHING to get the blood flowing and the water retention squishing better. It IS a vicious cycle like you said and very hard to be consistent with it. But we CAN do it. We certainly know how. Now it's just a matter of saying get up and do it. So get up and get thee to thy microwave timer sister! xo<br />dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-79095608282340333912017-03-09T11:07:37.771-05:002017-03-09T11:07:37.771-05:00I am struggling with exactly this same issue.

So I started standing up when I take phone calls, and I offer to go to the fax machine to retrieve everyone's faxes, etc...I figure the little things might make at least a small difference? By the way, DRINK SOME WATER.Donna Steely Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287040071982563335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-11762205002148742012017-03-09T09:20:25.525-05:002017-03-09T09:20:25.525-05:00I don't work at home, but I do have a blood su...I don't work at home, but I do have a blood supply with my chair started as soon as I get home. I made a vow last night to get to the gym more, which means Wednesday and Sunday are my weight bearing workout days and the rest of the days are cardio on the treadmill days. When I am bored at home I will have to have dance breaks (already finding songs and planning choreography) or actually cleaning the dining room that severely needs it, and because it is so cluttered and in my line of vision, has to be done so it stops causing me stress.<br />I get up, you get up, we all get up, it will be anarchy!<br />cheezchik32https://www.blogger.com/profile/01382826146822000921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-57939188994901027092017-03-09T09:02:47.987-05:002017-03-09T09:02:47.987-05:00Do you have a water bottle you like drinking from?...Do you have a water bottle you like drinking from? Is it decorated with stickers and such? Is it something you want around you more?<br /><br />When I decorated my bottle and such (had a tick counter so I knew how many ounces I was at), I drank more. I also didn't leave it at home or forget to fill it. I know it seems a bit juvenile, but sometimes if you make it fun or more "you," it's easier to accomplish the goal. Just my two cents....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143432796313331752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-87413415517860355472017-03-09T08:53:35.893-05:002017-03-09T08:53:35.893-05:00There is a huge gap between should and do.

I'm not even sure I can see over the gap, it dwarfs the Grand Canyon. <br /><br />I'm on my feet at work, but that doesn't count as exercise even a little bit and on weekends I become one with the couch. Doing what I should do isn't that hard, but I don't do it either. <br /><br />Get up, drink your water, and I'll try to do the same today.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-40487341523789313112017-03-09T07:56:36.743-05:002017-03-09T07:56:36.743-05:00Even when I am at work in the office I have a hard...Even when I am at work in the office I have a hard time just getting up and taking a walk or a break. I stay in the chair way too long and when I finally do get up my legs are stiff and it hurts to walk for a few seconds at first. I tried the standing desk thing for about a day ad it was all fine and good until I needed to get real work done, so I don't know of any other option but to just set a reminder to get off the tuckus and move periodically.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
