Nothing Lost, Nothing to Lose

Ok, so the first week has gone by and guess what! Nothing's changed. I've lost nothing. In fact, during a weekend trip, I lost all control and gained. /sigh/

This story is so old and tired, it should be dead. Let's try and kill it.

I'm still playing Winnie-the-Pooh with my up/down, and Tigger with my jumping jacks in the restroom. When did I move to the Hundred Acre Wood??

Anyway, this week I've added a couple other little random moves to my workday:


  • While refilling my water mug (which is up to about 4 times a day at least), I stand feet shoulder-width apart and bend side to side while sucking in my tummy. I'm hoping it'll help whittle down my love handles.
  • Whenever the phone rings, I stand up to answer it, then do my down-up-down thing when I sit.

Lucky for me, no one else works near me - they'd think I was so weird if they did! I know it's weird, but I have to 1. add variety to my day, and 2. use quirky little ways to sneak in some movement.

Am I as ridiculous as I feel? What do you do to sneak in exercise?

P.S. I am not expecting this alone to change my figure. I am also doing a walk/jog 3 days a week and strength training every other day. Just so you know I'm not as crazy as I sound.
