Do you sit too much?

I KNOW that I sit too much. If it is really hot, I sit even more. That is not even taking in to account the time spent in the car when we go to appointments and shopping.
In the past I have set alerts to be less sedentary, and yes, I am doing it today.
I will not sit here at the computer more than 45 minutes at a time. I am visiting all of my websites. In between, I go outside, or scrub a bath tub, etc. I think it will make me healthier in the long run, and I may be happy with the progress.
For the rest of this forty-five minute session I need to go work on an article for Textbroker. It will make sure I meet my deadline, although I think this one has three days.
Anyway, I will be back later.
It took forever for the site to let me in today.

In the Summer time I stay busy indoors-possibly sitting more than in the Winter time. I love the cooler weather and accomplish a lot more during that time. =)

When I am working in the school I do a lot of walking and moving around. Sometimes I have to go to PE or recess as well. It is too easy for me to get lazy here in the summer and just stay online.

I was doing okay until we went on vacation and I lost my good habits. Also had to recover from all the fun.

@GardenGerty It's hard for me but once I'm moving it's okay.

A person needs to periodically get up and move around even at an office desk job.

Yes, I feel that need. It is too easy to just let time buzz on past me here.

I would like to just sit here online, but that is really not good for me.

@GardenGerty It would be nice sometimes if we could do that. But it isn't always possible, unfortunately. That's life.

I have things to check on the computer when I first go on and sit here for a long period of time. I just get involved in what I am doing and lose track of time.

Yes, sitting a lot might hurt. Try stretching exercises to feel fresh.

I just have started back doing it this last week. It does not work really well for me to try to do it on vacation. I am too distracted.

No, it isn't, but if need be we can be gentle with our movements.

I cant sit still for long most days. I often split my morning time here into 2 sessions with a half hour or so break in between.

I wish I could sit still! Seems when Tony is awake I am up and down.
That is why I love to sleep.

Chair exercises are good. I need to put some weights or something at my desk to use.
