#work from home exercise

[rainyfestivalsweets]

8/17/23

Talking about lifestyle changes that are sustainable, to live a healthier life.

Brainstorming some ideas to increase exercise for working from home. Endurance. Stamina.

My work has a system so they know if you are like effing around. But what I noticed is that it is really hard to get 7-10k steps. I have to try alot harder because I don't get the incidental steps of walking around. I also don't use a sports watch/tracker.... because I find that it was making me eat more. I also can't stand things on my wrists. I really liked my fitbit bra clip though. But it died.

Winter is coming and I live in a place where the weather is rough. On me and my dogs, who are little.

I am trying to build endurance/stamina for a walking pad I just bought this spring. But them mom got sick and life imploded.

I am working on some goal work and need to start getting these steps in. One thing I noticed is sometimes my motivation is lacking. Sitting is so damn comfortable, and that works against someone who is trying to increase steps. Trying to overcome that impulse to be lazy. (She says as she sits at her desk)

Some of these I have been successful at. I can now easily stand for about 2 hours at work. That is a good start. Basically I am old, so alot of things hurt and it takes time to get me going.

NEAT ideas

Standing desk

Actually stand at the standing desk

Stand and fidget

Have an alarm that reminds you to stand or step at intervals thru the day

Have a rule to stand during meetings.

Walk videos while working: groweithjo, etc.

Low impact beginner videos and just follow along when you can

Do random quickie chores

Do intentional walks before and/or after meals.

Walking dates with friends

Park in the way back of the parking lot

Take an extra trip around the store

When you go downtown, park an extra block away

Look at the standing vs sitting calorie chart and stand up!

100 calories approx burned every mile

Think of it as training for your favorite concerts- you want/need to be able to stand comfortably for at least 5 hours

Pull out the step for extra resistance/stair training

Take a quick trip or 2 upstairs

Any other ideas? What you got?

One of my goals for this year was to get more buff and I thought my arms were getting bigger but I was worried it might just be my imagination but no I have stretch marks on my biceps it is happening

#I want to be a beefy chubby butch that can protect my friends + family #I want to feel I can defend/intimidate people if needed #and when ppl are like wow that’s too heavy I can’t lift that I can say ‘allow me’ and gallantly carry their shit #it’s just so nice to get confirmation that I’m making progress I’m really proud #I don’t have a routine or go to a gym this is all from my job / exercising in my apartment #the gym is fine but it’s so boring to me I’d rather bike for an hour or something instead then exercise at home #anyway the ideal situation for me is I find a beefy butch and we fall in love and work out together though #p

[yohankang]

my daily routine: i'm extremely anxious for about 90% of the day and i feel like i can't do this anymore and then i get like. 1 hour of clarity (post-finishing a task) and i'm like okay maybe i'll get through this somehow. and then the horrors start again

#currently at the i can't do this anymore stage #i'm scared the rest of my life will look like this etc. #it was great to take a week off but now i'm so behind with work and i want to cry all the time #and the uni assignments started so i don't have any free time in the evenings #i come back from work exhausted and start writing shit for uni #i haven't exercised in a month and my back hurts. i don't have time to cook so i eat whatever i find in the store on my way home #thank god i don't have classes this weekend because i would collapse #and i don't think i can do any volunteer work this week... i need to catch up on my studies because i'm already behind #so many assignments.... #but i also need to rest 😭 i want to find a short drama to watch over the weekend so i can stop thinking abt work and uni for a moment sfjdf #k.txt

how do u have a social life when u work 9-5 and also hate going out at night. like sorry but there's nothing on this good earth that can make me leave my house at 7pm after a full day of work .... and then there's oh ok weekends? you mean the time i use to clean? and grocery shop? and cook? and call my family? like there is literally no time

#like. it sucks ass so bad i am up at 6:30 to get ready for work and then i'm back at 5ish #and it's just take kenobi out make dinner exercise and like that's it #day over #and i'm lucky i work from home on some days but even then like it's just not enough time to go out. which is easily a 3hr commitment

So, I was lying down in bed, and I had the thought of "what if Halt was actually vulnerable with Will? Like, what if Will asked for help from Halt after they came home from Skandia, like mental help, and Halt responded with stories of his own. What would that sound like?" And I came up with this:

"When you've been through as much as I have, Will, you learn to find happiness in the mundane. I grew up basing my entire personality off two things. Eventually, I was forced to leave, and I had to completely re-learn my sense of self. I didn't have any access to what I used to think was my only purpose in life, and I was homeless in a brand new place with a brand new culture and a language that I only kinda knew. But, being homeless in Araluen, you have a lot of access to nature. And, when I was young, my love of nature was the second of two personality traits. So, I took that, and I ran with it. I would only stay in taverns when it was raining out, and I would spend as much time as I humanly could in the trees, by the river banks, climbing hills, making friends with foxes and birds, and generally just finding who I was. It took me way longer than I'm making it sound, trust me, but I think it helped me once I settled down in this cabin. You, Will, have grown used to trauma being the default, and the downtime feels uncomfortable to you. You need excitement and variety. The mundane makes you feel depressed. But trust me, Will, there is beauty and excitement everywhere here. You just need to find it. And I can help you, if you'd like, but I think it's best done on your own."

Yeah, this is a normal thing to do. Writing entire essays of one character providing comfort and support to another character all while lying flat down on my bed and then retyping it all out onto my phone. I am a sane and normal human being who totally isn't way too obsessed with writing for her own good.

@an1d10t sure I'll tag you. How boutcha read this? Lol

#rangers apprentice #halt o'carrick #will treaty #ok but Y'ALL #i think we sometimes forget that Halt was first found by Crowley just hanging out in a tavern #we have no description of previous homes #if anything we have the opposite #heavy implications that he was just. homeless. #and I think that we could totally talk about that more???? #it doesn't need to be in extreme detail but like #he has to have at least SOME habits that spawn solely from him being homeless in the past #right? #also Will getting used to the 24/7 trauma and being uncomfortable in stable and healthy situations #like thats so fricking looked over I feel like #I've not seen a single person talk about that so far #oh and the whole idea of “what if Halt was vulnerable” is so fun to write #because then you need to pay attention to and work in other aspects of his personality #I feel like it's a great like. writing exercise almost #it makes sure you understand the whole personality of a character #sorry for rambling oops #Halt O'Dad

really mad i have to start manually tensing my abs again. oh well,

#basically i'm made out of silly putty and now that i work from home all of my muscles have atrophied #to the point that my SI joint/hips/shoulders/neck are so unstable that i sublux just from sitting certain ways #i thought the corset was going to help with this! #but it turns out you HAVE to do abdominal stabilizing/strengthening exercises when you wear a corset tightlaced for 10 hours a day every da #CW body image: i noticed when i was little that my belly poonched out when i wasn't actively tensing my abs #so ofc i trained myself to do that by middle school #which ironically probably helped keep my blood pressure slightly higher #anyways i stopped doing as much in adulthood bc i thought it was just related to vanity but surprise!! #turns out that casually conditioning my abdominal muscles constantly was good for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #posting

you know what actually it was very fucked up that even when i was in the ""healthy"" weight range i was still being pressured by my doctors to lose weight because my bmi was on the upper end of the range and not the lower end. like.

what the fuck was up with that.

#tw weight #tw body issues #it wasn't even like 'oh you're bordering on overweight let's work on that' #it was that i was slightly above the middle of the range #and they pressured me to ''''start thinking about my health'''' #despite the fact that i was literally physically active and eating balanced meals #what the fuck #and it all just has me #very scared about today #because i'm still in the process of recovering from basically being trapped in a single room #chained to my desk due to school and work #with no access to a kitchen or a fridge #for roughly five years #i've started focusing on eating more fresh foods again #with plenty of fish and veggies #and i got myself an exercise bike so i could cycle at home #instead of relying on both my partner and i being available to hike or walk #but like #what if my doctor doesn't take that seriously #what if they just shame me for not already being fit #what if they act like i'm just making excuses and lying to them #u gh hghh it's so scary and i hate to do it but i have to go or else the horror is going to literally ruin my life #i hate fatphobia in the medical industry i hate fatphobia in the medical industry i hate fatphobia in the medical industry a a a a a

My job is always trying to sell me a gym membership. "We have a discount fitness program! Our employee discount program is selling 3 free months of Planet Fitness this week! Do you want to join the YMCA?" I have a warehouse job! Why do you think I'm out of shape????

#i swear if i go in to talk to a doctor and theyre like 'well thats an interesting complaint you have. i think you need to exercise more' #im gonna bite them #i live on the third floor of my apartment #i walk home from work when its nice #i walk a fair bit anyway to get too and from the bus #and anywhere i go other than work... i WALK #i exercise SO much why am i still being bombarded by all these fitness program ads #also i want to make it very clear that i dont trust planet fitness as far as i could throw one of their buildings #and the in house fitness program is called 'real appeal' and billed as a weight loss program #and you should know by now if you follow me how i feel about those #the ymca can stay but its on thin fucking ice

Lol out of curiosity I looked up my old job on Indeed and yes they ARE urgently hiring for the position and if I didn't get treated like dog shit for expecting a stress free work environment with reasonable expectations and not wildly cunty management who seemed to be under the impression they were doing THE most important job at THE most important store ever maybe I wouldn't have just not shown up one day 🤷🏻‍♀️ asshole thing to do to my poor coworkers but I didn't even have the energy to quit right after spending a month and a half feeling deeply surveilled at every aspect of my job lest I get another frivolous writeup no one else got for doing their jobs worse than me so fine. You want me gone enough to threaten my livelihood and SHRUG when I point out I have rent to pay, fine, but I wouldn't put up with that behavior from anyone in my life generally and I LIKE those people so my JOB pulling bullshit? Oh hell no, if I wouldn't take it from people I CHOOSE to be around on purpose I ain't taking shit from a fucking JOB. I refuse to be in a work environment that's unaware it's a GROCERY STORE, not a 5 star establishment frequented exclusively by world leaders or some shit. Like Sam, my job is cooking food at a fucking sobeys and you're acting as if I'm disarming bombs it's so important get reasonable priorities and standards for employees and then apply them equally to managers and not EXCLUSIVELY minimum wage staff 🙄

Which is funny because my new job everyone seems surprised with how fast I've caught on to stuff down to a coworker yesterday telling me he thought I worked in a shoppers prior to the pharmacy I'm in because Im catching on so quick. This isn't unusual for me either, some time in the last five or so years I've found every workplace I'm at I end up being heavily relied on because I'm good at my job, so fucking sucks to suck for sobeys because it took me some week or so to be consistently praised for being better at the job than the guy I replaced only for them to throw that out because they think management should be able to do whatever the fuck they want while they shove minimum wage staff under a fucking microscope to ensure they're doing their shit right and even that isn't consistent. They punished me exclusively because I did not lay down to be treated as a door mat and dished the treatment I got handed. If you treat me like shit I WILL treat you the way you treat me, no worse, and sometimes a little better because I don't lose my moral standards in that treatment either. Just because I'm being an ass doesn't mean I'm willing to do whatever the fuck, just enough to ensure that the person who's decided I'm their new plaything knows that'll be going both ways so fuck off. I've never had a job so willing to keep on shit management they had at LEAST a dozen meetings with regarding performance and I was the one who got punished for being frustrated about that. But I will take a new significantly less stressful job 🙌🏻

#winters ramblings #anyway theyre “urgently hiring” and if they listened when the fuck i told them i was so stressed i was clenching my fists #so hard in my sleep my hands would be DEAD STIFF and locked in place in the morning and required me to carefully massage them #and exercise the muscles and even then my hands still hurt. i told them ive been throwing up from stress AND i told them i was job hunting #because this was all bullshit. they KNEW where i was at and they should have listened but they didnt so fine #fuck me around 17 ways to sunday teo can play at that game and i didnt come here to be involved in a game at all #but force me onto that fucking biard then dont get mad when i flip it and walk away #im a grown assed adult i have no patience for workplaces that don't understand youre not a fucking slave #and the workplace isnt something Extremely Important And Special its a cucking GROCERY STORE and i wasnt even workinh #one if the jobs that DOES absolutely make a grocery store necessary i made fucking hot food everyone treated as Top Notch Shit #when ut was frozen boxed chicken strips and ut us INSULTING to me to teach me HOW to cook fucking BOXED FOOD #and NO i did bot take that “”“too personally”“' while they were trying to ”improve“ store standards #its fucking BOXED CHICKEN STRIPS guys why the fuck are we treating it like ROCKET SCIENCE??!? #i dont actually think its unreasonable to be angry your manager cannot even trust you to make food from a fucking BOX #without a chef coming in and treating you like some kind of idiot whohas never made a food in my LIFE despite #me cooking a lot more complicated shit at home on a regular basis. give me a fucking BREAK acting as if #it was StOrE sTaNdArD changes or whatever do YOU nit understand boxed food isnt HARD to make or do you need that explained #to you?? like i take shit too personally no YOU have unreasonable standards for EXCLUSIVELY your lowest wage staff #and im NOT bring held to a higher working standard than MANAGEMENT

#becca.txt #i've been healthy eating/exercising because 1. i paid 100 dollars for a photo with joe so you can bet your ass i'm going to look like a god #and 2. three years of working from home and surviving on ramen and flavored soda water is catching up to me #anyway i'm craving chocolate so intensely i could punch someone #why am i like this #it's been almost a week of this and i've been doing pretty well but goddamn the candy cravings are otherworldly

[brunetterightsactivist]

#how the fuck am i gonna come home from my 6-5 shift and then cook a meal for my lunch the next day #even like 'oh meal prep once a week' I DONT WANT TO. I DONT. #and then on top of that i'm like wow i should start exercising....and then i want to learn french......and i want to still watch movies.... #everything in life is a chore. the whole thing #and i dont get how more people arent actually crying about this like genuinely living itself is a chore it feels like WORK and im not paid #i have this exact mental breakdown once a week sorry guys
