    Registered nurse in a nursing home. I don't think people realize how much you move during a 12 hour shift. The down side is working 12 hours kills you opportunity to work out on the days you work.

    I'm a human resource manager. I mostly sit at my desk all day unless I'm running to the door to see who came in because we don't have a receptionist. Every once in a while I go our yards (I work for a concrete company) and I do some walking there, but that is super rare.

    I build websites, so a desk job. Ugh. My hubby and I also do that as a side business and are all-around geeks so we can spend a lot of time in front of computers during a given week.

    I am a clinical pharmacy specialist working in ambulatory care. Basically, I spend my days helping patients manage their diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol. They are consulted to me by their doctor for more involved care.

    I work outside all day with cars at an auto auction. When the weather is good it is a great job.

    I use to do that when my first daughter was born it was the best job EVER, it only sucked when it rained,

    I work a desk job as well - but unfortunately, it's not always as simple as 9-5. I have to be available when my clients are available - so my schedule can get really hectic. It changes on a daily basis. And when my work schedule is hectic, my whole life gets hectic - making it really difficult to master a workout plan. And when I am working - I'm sitting! It's hard for me to stay motivated if I don't have a clear-cut plan. But that's why I joined MFP. Being able to track my efforts any time and reading the challenges and successes of others will be a big help! I added you as a friend :happy:

    President of my own consuting company that provides service to the Oil and Gas industry in Canada to collect and analize production data. In other words a lot of sitting on my butt in front of a computer working from home or in a client office. Found time to workout by getting up at 5 am workout then tend to emails etc after. Four kids at home so lots of mouths to feed.

    Bang my head on a desk repeatedly throughout the day.



    Currently, I'm an Office Manager/Event Planner/Everything Guru for a small software and consulting firm. Will be transitioning into a consulting position for the same company soon as I'm ready to get out of the operations realm.

    I work as a sign language interpreter and personal care assistant in the local public schools. Some days I love my job and couldn't imagine not seeing the students from my class everyday, and other times I wonder what I was thinking when I took this job, lol. I guess everyone has those days though.
