Definitely a bad habit of mine. I joined a gym with friend and started volunteering at nights. That covers 3-5 nights a week, so i am trying to break the habit.

I work days driving a computer as well as taking phone calls. my chances of exercise are to walk into work and back but that takes 2 hours out of my bit of the day, or to cycle in, then a 2 mile walk mid day. Weekends are always full of family things, so even less time for exercise.

I work a 12 hr shift for 7 days straight, then i am off for 7 days straight. It's tough because i have a desk position and i'm typing on the computer or answering phone calls for 12 hrs. I joined the gym, but I hardly go because once I clock out all I want to do is lie down. I'm hoping myfitnesspal with the help of the group discussions will motivate me to workout more and eat healthier.

Yep...and I used to end the evening dunking 3 biscuits in my tea as though I deserved that treat!

Now I go gym after work and hopefully soon will start seeing the results! I really want to lose 3 stones (20 kilos/50 pounds) by August

I'm in the same disappointing boat. I work 6am-2:30pm. I get out of work when the day is still fresh and strong, yet I still dont do anything to be active. I have the most reason to be active, most people dont get out until late-afternoon or evening. I get out in mid-afternoon with extra time to spare! (As long as I dont have school that day)

That is why I am in the process of getting my bike. I am gonna pick up the Schwinn Legacy Cruiser. (I figure if I keep telling people the exact make and model of the bike I am going to get, I will actually get it and not back out of my plans) I know its just a cruiser bike, and wont give me much mobility to actually bike anywhere due to cruisers are heavy, slow, and generally for leasurely riding, but when I feel awesome enough riding on my bike every day, I will move up to a nice (affordable) mountain bike to get more active doing more advanced trails.

MFP has helped me see all of the unhealthy nasties I keep putting in my body and what it is doing for me. I really am done with being how I am now.

I wish I could be more consistent with that sort of behavior!! What gets you to the gym when you just want to blend into your sofa cushion every day?

I do it all the time i work from 8:30 to 5 as a accounting assistant so i sit all day, i feel like when i get home home i have too much to do around the house dinner, cleaning ect..and with the kids i would never see them if i get off work and head straight to the gym but something has too change! What is really sad is i even have a treadmill in the garage that i atleast try to use 3 or 4 times a week. I try to keep busy if i don't get to GET ON THE TREADMILL but i'm glad to see i'm not the only one out there who does this LOL..

I had to laugh to myself when I send this post because its so true for me. I sit down at a desk job all day. Get off a work and say to myself I tried and too lazy to workout...I glad I started to make a change in the past week. I started working out in the mornings now and sometings in the evenings afterwork. I have my days when its hard but I still try to push my way to the gym.:bigsmile:

I work 8-5 Monday through Friday and go to school at night and am a single parent so my time is pretty mapped out for me. I have decided to make as many changes as possible and I switched out my desk chair for a balance ball ($9-$18) and have recently purchased an 'upper and lower cycle' from walmart ($25) to keep under my desk to have some work out time during the day but still be able to work. I just started this week so I don't see any changes but I have noticed i am sitting straighter (working those abs) and at least i am getting my heart working with the cardio on the cycle. I plan on keeping this up because as i tell other people at my job 'it's the lazy/busy persons workout regime' LOL

This has been the norm for me for years! BUT recently i decided to work out more and i put in an elptical machine in my room! To work out in the comfort of my own home doesn't get any better than that. SO i get on the machine at least 4-5 times a week for 30mins and watch my favorite tv shows. i recommened you do something like this.. it really works for me. Then after my 30mins.. i cool down and rest and watch tv i feel like i deserve it and still didn't miss out on my shows. i feel accomplished. Sit down jobs are stressful but we can't let our bodies take the blame.

You can do it girl. The only thing i recomend is that you be consistant with being on here.

I am guilty. By the time I get home, I just want to be lazy. I do get my workouts in before work, which is nice. I had to move to AM workouts. Otherwise, they weren't getting done.

It depends on how many steps I get in during my work day. My minimum goal is always 10,000. If I come home and I'm at 12,000+, it's a wrap and I go sit down. If I'm short of the 10,000 goal, I put on a walking DVD or go outside and walk some more.

I believe life is to be enjoyed and sometimes you have to just chillax and rest yourself.

I get out of work at 230-300 am, I go home and may or may not have a glass of red wine, read a little then go right to bed. My 5 yr old (bless her little heart) allows me to sleep until 10am, so I get some good sleep in. But, YES to answer the question at hand. When I get home I sit/lay down.
