Trying Not To Get Chair Shaped #1

Dear followers,

As you may, or may not know I have recently decided to give up my day job and focus all of my energy on my own business, a business that leapt up and tackled me out of nowhere I might add.

It’s going very well, in case you were wondering.

There is only one downside that I have thus far encountered, in my day job I would regularly be hitting 10-20,000 steps per day. For my business now, I am simply sitting at my desk at home doing zero steps and eating all the snacks.

I am in danger of getting chair shaped.

If I were to be brutally honest with myself, I’m already on that path. I am content in a long term relationship which really breeds complacency when it comes to fitness, eating, and looking good.

The other side of that is that my partner and I don’t eat the normal amount of food. We actually eat an abnormal amount of food because his metabolism apparently runs at the speed of light. I do not have that luxury, but for some reason I try to keep up with his eating when he’s off work. It’s not a competition, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

Over the coming weeks I’m going to embrace my new lifestyle working from home, I’ve decided that means I need to take up some form of exercise. I’ll start with walking. We have the good fortune of having just moved to an area with a huge green space adjacent so I’ll start there. Everything else has changed for the better, why not embrace fitness and health now too?

I shall purchase some work-out appropriate clothing and try my very best not to flock to Starbucks instead of the gym, but I make no promises.

All in the name of trying not to become shaped like the chair I sit in every day.

Wish me luck!
