Well I guess that makes sense. I wouldn't have to do my desk job on a treadmill to clock that kind of mileage.
My husband has a desk job too and about 6 months ago he had the company buy him this desk appendage for his computer that allows him to stand while he works on the basis that it's supposedly healthier. We work at the same company so I went to check it out. He looks ridiculous just standing there at a computer. You just see his fuzzy head popping out over the cubicle wall. I couldn't look at him straight. That lasted three months if that and he adjusted back to normal height. #lazy
A few weeks ago I had my students read an article and that talked about that very thing and write an argumentative response. It basically said that standing should become the norm. It's healthier and keeps kids engaged more. They were all like "no thanks!" Lol
+1 feel free to add me as a friend to join FitBit challenges! I just got mine, so I'm still trying to figure it all out. Being snowed in isn't helping with my step count though!
I'd really like to get outside for some fresh air. Especially since the sun is peaking out here and there. The windchill is subzero though and DS's asthma doesn't tolerate the cold, dry air.
All this talk of tequila and tacos and Mexico has me having cabin fever bad. And it's only January. Le sigh.

So tell me is it true!??!! Should I be standing?! Does it in fact improve health versus sitting, even if I'm not moving around ?
ETA: I don't think I would've liked it much as a student either lol. And I feel like that's give them free reign to be antsy, no?
requiressnacks , daisy818 , I have no idea how she does it. Her husband's family owns a grain and feed business, tons of farmland, animals, etc. and she works with them. Maybe that's where her steps come from?
That makes sense. I used to do challenges with someone who is a fitness instructor and taught classes all day. She would get at least 150,000 steps in for the Workweek Hustle. Cannot compete with that!
Wow I bet! This past weekend she had 32,000 and I only did 14,000. Also, she just turned 60 and is retired so I think it's extra impressive.

Well I think there's controversial research on the topic, especially on standing desks, but this specific article discussed a lot of the benefits. Of course, there's bias in everything you read which is what I told my students, but I personally think kids today are lazy and should be standing up more!

After a long day at Disney we had 28,000 steps which was my most ever....a normal day at 30,000 is crazy! Good for her!
Agreed!!! The website has very limited functionality in that respect. I also don't like that we can't see the group thru the app. The two worlds are very distinct rather than being seamless.
I think if one person adds everyone in the group they can set up a challenge. I don't know but 1 person in the challenge I'm in now.
I'm open to people adding me, but I feel awkward adding other people. Except pismoduo .

Working from home today while our offices get moved. I could concentrate more if DH wasn't home, the people working on the bathroom weren't here. But I'm in comfy clothes, so in a way, I still win.
Waiting for time to pass so I can take my zpack day 2. (I had milk with my muffin so I'm waiting another hour before taking it)
I loved that show for awhile. I might need a good binge watch of that this weekend (esp if I can get H to go skiing one day without me so the TV and couch are all mine!!!)
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
So I had a job offer from a competing agency last week. DNW to move, I like my job. But the other agency lets me work from home permanently. With TTC (and hopefully succeeding) it's really attractive to me. So I sent my manager an EM giving a brief explanation and asked him to call. He let me know he forwarded it on to his manager and the CEO.
Just got email from my manager's manager (with CEO copied) saying "CEO and I are in the process of designing the XYZ strategic plan and working remotely was not on our radar. Please stay tuned."
What in the actual fuck does that mean? Doesn't sound good for starters. And for seconds, how much time you think I got..

kleigh Why would he forward that email on to his manager and the CEO!? That's frustrating. I feel like stay tuned could mean either they're going to put working from home on their radar because they don't want to lose you, or it could mean that they think you're planning to leave. Either way, that's an awkward position to be in. Totally sucks.
I'm working tonight and need to nap. I feel like anytime I NEED to nap I can't and every time I WANT to nap I have to adult.
LOL. Oh that #thirdshiftlyfe. I'm the same way. 98% of the time I don't even try to nap anymore. Thank the Lord for being PT. Makes it not seem so bad.
Lola My manager did tell me he was going to talk to his manager and CEO (bc ultimately they'd make the call) andplusalso my manager is new and inexperienced. But Like thanks for nothing guyz.

These two are driving me crazy. They think that I have to be throwing a toy for them, giving them a treat, or letting them outside. No dogs, I just want to watch PLL right now. Can't you just sleep? But they're pretty cute, so I just throw the toy and let them rule my life.

I'm trying to figure out what I am going to say when I go into the doctor's office in a little bit. I was told by the nurse line to go in person to the PCP's office I want because that is how we do things in the small town. She said I went through the proper channels and now I should go in person. Should I be like "Hi. My whole family comes to this practice and I want to come to. Can I?"

Yep. Sounds perfect.
Yeah. I'd probably go with this. I was just gonna suggest showing up at the front desk and announcing you're there for the free pill samples but in retrospect I can see that'd be ill-advised.. Get it? Sorry. Seriously I've done the same as you before and that's exactly what I said (that my sisters, mom etc all go here and I was seeking to as well). I know yours is different bc they aren't taking new patients but then just explain that you already went through the "proper channels".
