Does anyone else feel that.....

Sitting at a desk all day is contributing to their struggle?
ARGH!!!!!
I wish I could take 'gym' breaks instead of lunch breaks!

I used to swim for an hour every morning at the YWCA on 53rd and Lex when I worked in that area. I swam from 7-8, showered, dressed and walked to work by 9am. Depending on how lenient your boss is, I was also able to squeeze in some 45 minute aerobics classes like 2X a week and took longer lunch. (showered and back within 90 minutes). And other days I ate at my desk, I happened to have a great boss that was fine with that, hey a happy employee is a productive employee !
and I was big on walking during lunches that I had to run errands. I would put my sneakers on (you wont get a good WALK workout unless youhave sneakers on, JMO !) and I would walk down madison, and back up fifth....
I HATED sitting at a desk all day.....

I used to go to the YMCA on 53rd & Lex too Anna!!!!!!
I am a painter (as a hobby) and I was taking a refresher course there....
They are very nice there.....

I wish I had as much motivation as you......

My boss is great and would let me, but I don't have the time....maybe if I spent more time at the gym and less on this board

Nahhhhh - I'll stick here!

I used to work at CA and they have a great gym. I worked out almost every single day but since I left I don't have easy access to gym and I am too tired at night to go to the gym. So my fat a$$ is now a fatter a$$

Gym at work here! Do you know that some insurance copanies give a discount to the gym? Call your company you never know. I read that in my latest mag. FH called and he has the worst insurance and he got a discount.

I actually do use my lunch hour to sneak over to the gym on Tues and Thursdays. The gym is accross the street from my job, so its not that bad.

Re: Does anyone else feel that.....

I sit for a total of about 1 hour of the 7 hours I work, and it doesn't make a bit of difference.

Re: Does anyone else feel that.....

well, I'm 30-40 pounds MORE than when I got married 18 months ago... You'd think I do nothing but eat. I chase 25 5 year olds around all day long, sing, dance, play... imagine what I'd look like if I DIDN'T???

Re: Does anyone else feel that.....

Jenn I'm with ya! I chase around 26 6 year olds all day, I never get to sit. But yet I still weigh a ton! LOL If I had a desk job I would be in trouble!
