    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 histotechnologist in a research lab. I sit the majority of the time, so I've been trying to fit in walks during my breaks.

    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!

    Domestic Engineer...aka "stay at home Mom". Three kids 14, 11 and 10. I'm pretty active either going to the gym with my 14 year old, or my boys love to ride bikes. We did a 45 minute ride yesterday and can't wait to do it again today. Before I was a Mom I was a paralegal for US Attorney office on East Coast.

    Product development scientist, nutritional supplements. Under activity level I say "lightly active" because I get to work in the lab a couple days a week, but usually I'm on my *kitten* most of the time :(

    Well hello Busy Lady. I'd factor in an hour or so of walking at 3.5 mph or something like that. a baby gate on those stairs? Save you running up and down.:smile: I retired at 46 (a bit of good luck and a smile from Karma I guess). so mostly I'm a slacker/beach bum/hiking fool.

    I'm a freelance writer, so a very sedentary job. I found as my work load got bigger so did my backside. Hence why I started thinking about doing something about it.

    I'm so very glad to have found MFP. I'm finding the whole thing so motivating. I've stepped away from writing to do 70 minutes of exercise today, which is pretty good for me :)
