It's not being promoted down my way. <br /><br />I walk on the elliptical trainer in the morning. Other that, my butt's primarily in my desk chair. I do occasionally get up and walk outside to look at the garden and breathe fresh air. Or go to the mailbox. Or go to the coffee pot for the twelfth refill.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-25558843651224772282011-04-19T17:43:06.612-07:002011-04-19T17:43:06.612-07:00I am forcing myself to get up and do a chore or so...I am forcing myself to get up and do a chore or some stretches. So much of my life is online, writing, promoting, connecting and reading for pleasure. Organizing photos is another big job that I enjoy. <br />The timer idea is good because time sure does fly when we are....well you know!Susie - Walking Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372339217547326555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-29363280201289761572011-04-19T08:42:43.668-07:002011-04-19T08:42:43.668-07:00Good point about the AHA, Helen.

LOL<br /><br />Beth, I am not sure I could do embroidery at the kitchen counter, but I do stand to read the mail and take care of bill paying, etc. And you are much more disciplined than I am. I've already gone over my hour of sitting, so I guess I'd better move my butt while I still can.

How would we track all that? By sitting at our computers and creating a log and filling it out. <br /><br />I do 25 minutes on the elliptical trainer.

Ten minutes of that time is spent walking around my house or the backyard (about 1/2 mile in a 20 min. mile pace), and the other five is refreshing my water, pit stop, petting the dog. <br /><br />I have a hard time since all my favorite activities are sitting down (writing, blogging, embroidery, piano, reading, etc.), so I have started doing my embroidery at the kitchen bar standing. It actually works and isn't any harder. The lights good in the kitchen too. I do my reading standing up as well. <br /><br />I've considered investing in a computer desk that is built for standing. I've tried to write standing at the bar, but can't seem to get the computer at a comfortable height for both my eyes and my arms. <br /><br />It all takes much more discipline than writing every day does, but in the long run I think I'll be glad I'm doing it this way.Being Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257332079795227626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-2392218764524521092011-04-18T09:34:59.981-07:002011-04-18T09:34:59.981-07:00LOL, Me, too.
