Human Weight Issues

god . . . to be that donut.

Don't you work from home…are you going to eat all of those!

Those look incredible.

I don't weigh myself. Fuck it.

I work, sometimes from home, but I like to work in my office, as well.  I brought these to my office in Winchester, and all the ladies love me.  Like a circle of vultures, telling you, how awesome you are.  I ate, two, by the way.  heaven.

but weren't they doing that before you brought the fat pills?

10 years ago I weighed 180 (I'm 6'). Now I weigh 220. Ugh. Office job took its toll, and moving to a city where I can just walk to many bars didn't help. I don't eat that unhealthy, but should probably cut
Out carbs (beer) and get a bit more exercise.

And haggis, FWIW.

I have to say that it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to exercise more but not really getting around to it. I've mostly solved this challenge by scheduling exercise time and then fanatically sticking to it. I block out noon to 1:00 on my weekday Outlook calendar so that A) I know that's the time I have to go bust a move, and B) no dickhead colleagues of mine can schedule a meeting during that time. And when that reminder notice pops up at 11:45, I start winding down what I'm working on because I've convinced myself that "I have to go."

Unless you're one of those weirdos that just loves to exercise (in which case, you don't have a problem with motivation) you can't just hope to exercise when you have time. You have to make the time. Lay down a schedule and stick to it.

Also, if you're just starting with an exercise schedule, or you've been on a break for awhile, begin very modestly. The worst thing you can do is go out for a 5 mile run, split your shins, and then be laid up for the next 6 weeks. Start out with a long walk. Or a mild weights session. Work your way forward one step at a time.

You also do one of the best things too (I think)
Commute via bike as a part of your exercise regimen

Just got back in the saddle after a long winter and I commute 2 days a week
burn about 3k cals and put 60 miles on cyclometer

and only add a little extra time to my over all commute and come to work energized and in a good mood

but yeah, ya gotta put it on the schedule or it won't happen regularly

I think just getting a 20 min walk in for lunch 4 days a week is a really good start
then after a few weeks up it to 30 and start doing some afterwork
next thing you know, you're burning 2-3k calories a week with out really noticing
and I have a money back guarantee that you will feel better and be in a better mood over all

Yes Sidehatch, that is a great point that I should've made. If you can (and chances are, you can), bike to work. Not only is it built-in exercise every day, but you save money on gas and parking, your days of sitting in traffic just vanish, and you walk into your office having already accomplished something, which is a really nice feeling.

If your office is 5 miles or less from your house, you should strongly consider it. If it's between 5 and 10 miles, that's a haul but you should still give it some thought. Is there a way to drive halfway and then bike the rest? Bike to your metro station? Get creative.

if you are lucky to have a 5 mile commute, you probably won't need to wear biking gear and take a shower when you get to work (that adds 15-20 mins to my morning)

unfortunately (and IMO fortunately) I'm a 15 mile ride each way…

I'm too concerned with getting crushed by a vehicle and the logistics of clothes/showers/etc. to consistently ride a bike to work.  I also work remotely most days.

I will say that I used to be extremely concerned about the sweat issue. However, I've learned that if you shower before you leave, the sweat you produce on your ride is very clean sweat and isn't that stanky. Granted, you have to change from your bike clothes to your work clothes, but that was much easier and hassle-free than I thought it would be before I did it.

And, coincidentally, your marriage recently dissolved, you say?

Pre working from home, I used to go to the gym at work basically ever day and battled the sweats for basically the next multiple hours post work out shower.

I did purchase a vornado for my office which was awesome.

While I applaud your efforts to develop a joke, the logistics of it don't really work. How would me being smelly at work affect my marriage? Please try harder and better luck next time!

Unless of course the pure musky loverman scent that cascades from my bulging 28.6 BMI body is such that no woman at work can resist me. Then it makes a bit more sense.

Is it your contention that if one hypothetically smells at work that they do not continue to smell when they return home? In essence, that instead of one marinating in their own funk all day that they have a finite amount of stink and they run out?

And this is to say nothing of the fact you are presumably biking back home after work.

I weighed myself  earlier today and I am glad to report I am at 154…

At what height, and how long ago was your most recent poop?
