    I have done all sorts of things, from photographer, to opera singer to PA and PR. At the moment I am a SAHM to my 2 boys (3 and 5), and am going back to university later this year to do a masters in medieval history, so this time next year I guess I'll be a historian. So unemployed, most likely!

    I'm a corporate event planner... lots of desk time prepping for the event and then lots of travel/running around hotels like a chicken with my head cut off at the event... it's a great job though, I meet some great people and get to travel all over the country, stay at tons of 4 and 5-star hotels, and have the staff kiss my *kitten* constantly lol

    Photographer/photo editor/graphic designer. I really want to be a photojournalist (i've interned for 2 major newspapers in the past) but the industry is so dead. For now, I'm a studio photographer at a portrait studio/frame shop. I also freelance for a local online newspaper (but they pay crap)

    I tried to work in NY (i live in central NJ) but wasn't getting paid enough to move closer so i had to commute. I'd wake up at 6, get home at like 7-8 leaving no time for exercising. Then I took a job working mostly nights and that freed up my day to exercise and eat right but I found myself getting really tired all the time. I'd also be forced to skip dinner so I'd get home at 10pm and binge on whatever I can find.

    This new job is perfect. 10-6, gym right down the street, and off 3 days a week. Pretty happy for now. All I have to do now is move out!

    I own my company and I write business plans for people that are starting business or trying to get business loans. So, I usually try to run every morning before really starting work.

    By day, I'm a global marketing operations coordinator. I work from home and sit at a desk most the day. By night, I work in a jewelry store as a "designer" (What my store calls the sales people). In my spare time, I'm a SAHM of two cats :happy: and an undercover crime fighter!

    I work in admissions/reception at an eye surgery clinic. I am only part time (about 25 hrs per week). I really don't sit for long periods of time. I am up and down quite a bit, which is good. The worst part of my job is on Wednesdays when we do surgeries... I hardly have time to go the bathroom, much less eat a meal! It is nonstop from 6am until 3pm or later on Wednesdays. Needless to say, I hate Wednesdays! LOL

    I work out at 5am each day, except for the dreaded Wednesday when I have to be at work at 6am. I try to work out after work that day, but I am usually beat by the time I get home.

    I design multimedia training, manage e-learning and handle other misc. online/technical things. Mostly sitting down all day long. But I homeschool my kids too, do all the housework. It is just non-stop. It's been hard to get walking in, but I'm starting too. And one yoga class when all is going well.

    I work with two young ladies with Autism who are in an indipendant living situation. I'm the house lead so I am ALWAYS pulling 50+ hours a week... plus I have a two and a half (almost) year old daughter at home. I don't actually go to the gym right now. My goal is to sit as little as possible durring the day. I don't count my exercise calories for the most part so no I'm not eating back my calories. On days I feel like I am running nonstop I eat closer to 1500-1600 and on days that I feel like I've been sitting a lot I eat closer to 1200. That being said my daughter and I have "dance party time!!!" which is actually my zumba for the wii as well as pilates. At work we try to keep our clients very physically active so I go for long walks there too.

    I am technical drafter for a big telecom company. So it means I sit on my behind all day. I work mostly with men and almost 35 percent of them are training for one thing or another (from 10 k to Iron man). I train on my hour lunch. I mostly go run outside or go to the gym 2 minutes from work

    I'm a career counselor at a private liberal arts college, so I'm surrounded by young, fit people all the time. It's mostly a desk job, but the campus is big so I can fit a 1 mile walk in during lunch if I don't wear heels. I have to get up at 5 to workout at the gym. I'm looking forward to the day - April 25th! - when it will be light enough in the morning for me to run around my sidewalk-free neighborhood.
