FatSwatter's Journal, 23 July 2015

I was pretty proud of myself for meeting my goals yesterday. Instead of 10,000 steps, I did 12,483! I love having an activity tracker now - before I was just guessing. Of course, I'm sure this isn't 100% accurate either but it's better than me pulling numbers out of a hat.

Today I have a lot of things to do. I have a dermatologist appointment later for some skin problems I'm hoping he'll be able to fix. I've been breaking out on my face for about a year and been going to this doctor for 8 months - it's not clearing up. It seems to be erupting when Aunt Flo comes to visit but I've gone to my OBGYN and had numerous tests done and all my hormones are within normal range. Everything seems to indicate it's stress related or hormonal related but none of the tests show that. It's mainly in my chin area but also in between my eyebrows. I'm really hoping to get some answers so cross your fingers for me!

I decided to use my lunch times from now on to walk around campus. I did that yesterday and it was gorgeous! What a great way to re-energize before the 2:30 pm crash. I used to be so tired by then but now I'm awake! I also started doing exercises in my office to help with blood circulation and stiffness. So far, they seem to be helping.

Here are some I do, what do you all do to keep busy at work?

Leg lifts


Wall Pushups


Arm Lifts Against Wall

Way to go, and your right about doing stuff at your desk. They also say get up and walk around your building or work area every hour to help.

WORK = HOME for me so well i just do not have a lot of sit down relaxation time. I steal minutes every few hours to sit and read or play a few minutes of a mindless FB game. Or check to see what is going on here.... I almost cannot sit still some days. I drive my husband nuts with it at night when he wants to watch a show and i fidget to stay and watch with him. I swear once you get the momentum up it is harder to stay put. Newtons First Law applies! LOL Newton's first law of motion is often stated as: "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

You are making some great additions to your daily exercise! Very creative with the walks outside! I'm special education teacher at elementary school, so my day is pretty busy walking, sitting on the floor, lifting, sometimes even chasing the few runners that we have :).

To avoid sitting too much, I have a sit-stand desk and a little portable stepper underneath it - the stepper's a bit too bouncy to use through every task, but it's great when I'm waiting for pages to load, reports to compile, etc!
