Sick of Sitting!!

Okay - so I just need to state the fact that I'm SICK of sitting all day long. I HATE sitting at a desk all day. I used to be a waitress while I was in college and it was constantly GO GO GO - on your feet running around! Part of my weight gain over the past few years was the transition from moving around all day at work to being completely sedentary at a desk all day!!
I try as much as I can to get up and move around as much as possible throughout the day I wiggle my legs - but on days like today I can't even leave the office for lunch because it's so busy - I'm stuck eating my PB&J and grapes at my desk!

I know there's not much "advice" anyone can give me for this, because it is what it is - but I just wish it was different!
