Yes, as of this morning, I'm chair free. I'll stand all day, thereby burning perhaps a few hundred extra calories a day. While this change coincides with my Biggest Workplace Loser participation, it's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I had no opportunity to try it where I last worked, but the desks here are wonderfully adjustable.
So, I'm giving it a whirl. I certainly hope I'll be able to do it long term.
I've also increased the number of laps I do in the halls and on the stairs. I'm up to six laps, four times per work day. Over the past day or two, I've really felt it in my lower abdominal muscles. I'm also eating six times a day (breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and a final snack). That seems to be working well for me. The snacks are typically 170 calories or less (the amount of calories in a regular yogurt or some granola bars). I'm less hungry throughout the day, and my blood sugar levels are much lower and level.
Have a great one today!
