    I'm a Registered Nurse. I actually started putting on the weight while I was going to nursing school back in the early 90s. Then after I got my license I started working nightshift. Spend more time behing the desk doing paperwork. When I was a nursing assistant I was busy and active pretty much the entire shift and I really feel that helped me from putting on weight. No longer on nights so am really trying to get all this weight off, that I put on.

    I sell vehicles at an 8 acre dealership in which I do a lot of walking around those 8 acres. I don't log that walking cause I have accounted for it in my settings, that I'm generally pretty active.

    best way to measure that would be buying one of those things that count the steps you take and it'll let you know how much calories you have burn :)

    I'm a registered nurse case manager for a hospice. I haven't decided if it is considered an active job yet because I do a lot of driving and walking to get from my car into the facilities and houses I see my patient in. I started using an activity watch one week ago and found some days i was rated extremely active and other days rated good day. My watch will read in this order 1. lazy day, 2. easy day, 3. good day, 4. active and 5. extremely busy day. I've decided to try to get the watch to read active to extremely active to get my cardio up and calories burned.

    I'm a freelance writer so I don't have steady work all the time. My days are determined by how much work I have and what other errands I have to run for the family. I never count anything I do while I'm "working" hoping that whatever I do get in will be a little extra. That's why I usually schedule in some kind of high intensity workout, whether it's cardio or strength training, I want to make sure I'm getting in plenty of real exercise. But if I had your job, I may think differently about the whole thing. Good luck!
