Challenge

Okay, I’ve decided to issue a challenge to myself.  I think that I spend way too much time sitting in my everyday life, so I’m giving myself a “Get off your butt” challenge.  I am going to give myself 1 hour of sitting time a day outside of meals.  This will be from the time I wake up until 11 pm.  Other than that 1 hour and meals, I need to be moving.  I’m not going to put any other crazy stipulations on it, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while.  I think sometimes I make excuses about how I didn’t have time to do something, but maybe I was really just vegging out, so I’d like to see where this goes.  I don’t sit at work and I don’t really drive that much, so those won’t be issues for me.  I’m going to try this for one week, and I think it will be a real eye opener for me.  This starts tomorrow and will go til next Thursday.  Wish me luck!

    I’ll take your challenge, but my sit time will be different. I do sit for work, but I also sit too much being lazy. So I will focus on the lazy sitting time.
    Good luck with yours!!

    My daughter keeps her computer on a sideboard in the hallway of her home, instead of at a desk. She doesn’t give herself the option of sitting when she’s online. We are moving into her house in January (she’s moving) and I think I will use the same arrangement. I do spend a lot of time sitting here…… I can see it making a big difference. Good luck.

    Sounds fun! good luck! I know a lot of people sit on an exercise ball instead of computer chairs too– it forces you to use more muscles while sitting :)

    Thats a great idea. It will definately make you more aware of what you are doing with your time.
