Default Stressful Job and Dieting

Ok some people would kill to have my job... so i thank God i have it and by no means am i complaining.... but all job i know have there troubles.

I use to work in an office in town... seeing people everyday, loved it!
That place closed

Got a new job at home calling people and making sure they are getting thier papers and paying for them. Today is my fist day to collect payment... i hate doing this... i dont want to be a bill collector! but it is eitherme call them or not get paid and people call me for money.... i hate money.

Anyway... i sit at a desk all day.. not very calorie burning... i thought about getting some weights and lifting them inbetween my calling ( waiting for them to answer)

I do good about not eating while im sitting here... and i drink a lot of water, just i am one of those people who would like to make a differance in the world.. not hassle the world... and since i cant help that i would at least make a differance with me!

Anyone have a link to exersiing at the desk?

I don't exercise at my desk...but are you making these calls from home or from an office? (I think you're working at home..but your sentence was a little ambiguous to me...)

If you work from home, you're one of the LUCKY ones! I work from home and do sets of strength training in between calls/projects/etc. No one is there to see you looking like a weirdo doing your squats and lunges in your home office. Its great!

Don't hate money. It makes so many things possible.

Get up every hour and walk around, or make yourself a gym date during the day. I work at home, and I love being able to fit my work schedule to the YMCA. It's a lot easier than when working in an office elsewhere.

And look for another job!

I always pace around my kitchen when I'm on the phone. Maybe you could get a portable phone and walking around your house as you make the calls?

Perhaps you could sit at your desk on a stability ball? Then you can roll around a little and get some core work... or try standing up for part of the day. Maybe you should get a wireless headset to make moving around possible.
