What do You Do for a Living?

I'm in the Air Force and althought fitness is supposed to be apart of my daily routine it was not so easy a few months ago. I work in an office and sitting at the computer all day and getting the energy later in the evening to work out was not happening. I've since changed my routine and added it to my lunch break and I feel so much better, physically and mentally.

I really loved reading about everyone's interesting jobs and lifestyles

I'm a legal researcher for an industrial hygiene company (primarily work in the area of asbestos-related lawsuits) I read/research/write documents all day long...but I love the regular hours because it allows me to fit in workouts pretty much every night after work (I used to be a special ed teacher and worked about12 hours a day plus commute time, plus lesson planning at home. Very glad to be in a new career!)

On the side I am a freelance photographer--I mostly shoot local bands and concerts so I am on my feet at shows a couple times a week. Any photographers...well ok anybody, feel free to friend/message me. I am loving all the support I am finding on MFP!

Professional Pet Stylist (aka pet groomer) for the last 32 years. Owned my own business for the last 19 of those 32 years.

I'm a graphic designer and photographer for a school supply company in Baltimore, MD.

I get to design kick-*kitten* products for kids and teachers!

Love it

I'm mostly a stay-at-home mom. Every couple years, I take a job for a while, and this summer, I'm working as attendant at one of the cleanest laundromats in the US. (I have that information from several RVers from all over).

I love both jobs, and the kids are getting old enough that we exercise together.

I work full time at McDonald's. Long hours standing in a very hot grill area, so I try to drink lots of water. For lunch we don't have a refrigerator or microwave in the break room so you have to eat the food there. I try to make healthier choices for sandwiches but almost every thing is very high in sodium.

i am a brand manager for a major healthcare company, currently working in the international side of infant formulas. it's mostly a desk job, so that's why i feel the need to exercise daily, so i can get my booty moving and shaking! my job also has regular hours so i can consistently make it to classes at the gym. i'll be moving to los angeles area this summer for my final rotation of my job program. definitely am looking forward to living near the beaches and biking/running along it! it really helps that LA is really health-conscious, so the environment will be very conducive to me reaching my goals here!

I bet I can beat everyone: I have owned and operated a bakery for 10 years. I never get tired of sugar so it is such a huge temptation every day. I've done Weight Watchers, The Zone, Adkins, South Beach and others. My goal this time is more of the "clean eating" and doing it every 2-3 hours in smaller portions. The issue is that I feel like I am ALWAYS hungry.

I'm a legal assistant too! It's definitely hard to get in exercise during the day, but making those extra trips to the copy room or trying to stand while you aren't forced to type up those pleadings helps! I also try to walk a lot during my breaks. I take public transportation so it gives me a good 10 minute walk to and from work. Also, I am unsure if this actually works, but I heard tightening your stomach muscles while you are sitting at your desk can help to build a stronger core. Basically, I try to move around as much as I can.

I work in Mortgage Loss mitigation, I also work as a part time film editor/event videographer, AND work part time in an upscale Irish Restaurant.

I am an attorney with a municipal corporation (quasi-governmental agency). The work varies across all fields - from HR/employee relations to contracts to drafting regulations - but lately I am feeling bored and dissatisfied. Thus, I spend a good chunk of my day reading on MFP. I have a flexible schedule and currently work 7 am to 4 pm M-F with every 2nd Monday off. It is easy to workout in the evenings whether at home or the gym since I get home around 5 most evenings.

I own a Private Security Officer/Process Service business. As a matter of fact we spend a lot of time going into busy law offices, such as yours, picking up/dropping off papers to be served. I run my company out of my home and my business line is forwarded to my cell phone, which is always attached to my hip. So, I can pretty much plan a workout into any part of my day.

I'm a medical transcriptionist from home, which means I never leave work :laugh: I get paid by production so I basically have to work 3x's as long to make what I would in an office. I also start work around 2-3 am, working throughout the day. In between that I'm shuttling kids/husband to/from school/work. I also have a toddler that's home with me other than M/W/F. Usually my day ends around 10 pm.

Once you work from home, people assume that as a mom you're at home eating bon bons all day long. So I have my job, plus all the household stuff/finances, shopping, etc. :laugh: :laugh:

Oh, and no such thing as sick leave. I even work on vacations.

Anyhow, I try to exercise between jobs, or during a "lunch break". I also have a townhouse w/3 levels, so I'm doing stairs all day.

Doing stairs all day, errands, laundry and carrying a 30 lb toddler around all day, you'd think I'd be ultra skinny. That'd be the case if God was a woman. So God must be a man. Oh well. :flowerforyou:

I am a Massage Therapist, and I also teach massage therapy at a local tech college. I love it! :bigsmile:

Me too...I massage and teach massage as well! Best job in the world!!!

High School Teacher/Coach. I literally have 1-2 hours to my self a day, currently. (Beisdes the 7-8 hours of sleep.)

It's crazy, but I love it and would't change it. I pack a lot of my own food at school and when we travel to games, it helps a lot to avoid the lunchroom/concession stand.
