TB: Almost always, but when I run into someone taller than me it feels unbelievably weird. Blogger Dad is 6′ 4″. Now that’s tall!

Mary: Thanks for the compliment Mary. I’ve been bad this week – too many birthday cupcakes, but that’s what Mondays are for, right?

Erin: Thanks Erin. It would have been irresponsible not to.

Quix: It’s SO not as it seems (I swear). Sometimes, I would LOVE the removed environment of an office. The grass is always greener.

Jess: Hard to do the exercise with people watching. At least my office is empty.

POD: No way, for realz?

Rose: There’s no time like the present. : > )

Yum Yucky: Deal, but I like to eat with my face. Is that okay?

Lori: Hiya, Lori! If anyone can beat those pounds into submission, it’s you. : > )

Mary: Pretty simple formula. It’s the one I’m following myself.

JK: I do tiny ones sprinkled throughout the day.

Jayme: I’m with you, that’s the perfect workout!

June: Lucky! Channel it, bottle it, and sell it if you can.

Junghwa: I know how you feel. Sitting still for long stretches is really difficult for me as well

Joshua: Thanks!

Lori: Thanks Lori. I’m almost there. Just a couple more miles to go.

Such a great post that brings up a problem for many. I think it is an issue often overlooked for people who set out to follow their dream of writing and working from home. I started writing from home when we moved abroad and while I had a desk job before I was still more active driving around and going to conferences. I find it is more difficult to stay fit now that I’m home. I’ve only gained 5lbs or so, but my workouts aren’t like what they used to be and the urge to snack is awful! I never knew how easy it was to go to the gym when I was already out and about. It is so hard to leave the house when I’m deep in my work.

Best wishes to you! Hang in there. Recognizing the need for change is the first step. You’ll get the weight off and be back to your old self in no time!

I write, too. I gained weight. I now make the time to get in workouts. All the weight came off.

Since I started my new blog, I gotta lose the pounds, too. My hours behind desk and caregiving, instead of training, are starting to show! Must do more yard work, and yes, it’s salad time!
