Losing weight with an Office Job?

Question

I'm 5'3 145lbs, trying to get down to about 125-130. I just recently changed my eating habits, I switched to 5 small meals a day vs. 3 huge to keep from snacking and lowered my calorie intake to about 1200-1300 per day. I work out 5 times a week ( 45 mins. cardio 30 min weight training). But my biggest problem is I have an office job that conisist of sitting on my butt all day, anyone have any suggestions or ideas of things I can do throughout the day b/c I know this will be my biggest challenge. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

You are on the right track. Give it time and you will be fine. Also, use a measuring tape instead of the scale to measure your progress because your gain in lean mass will give false readings even though your clothes will be falling off you.

Here is a link to a weekly routine if you want to add some variety.

Answer 2

Believe it or not, there are exercizes for the office chair---they are in a book that should be easy to find--or at a doctor's office--go ask. You really are in the same boat as millions of other people--office workers with a need to move around as often as possible. Sit on the chair and bend way over while in the sitting position..10 seconds and sit up. Pretend to pick imaginary fruit from a tree--reach slowly and pretend to grasp the fruit and pull it down. Really really stretch for the apple way high up. Rotate your head in nice slow circles--left then right--carefully do this without straining--start slow. Put your hands on the chair seat along side your thighs--push your body up and hold for 10 seconds--lower, relax and do it again. Now this sounds silly--but tighten your butt muscles as hard as possible as often as possible. Run the office stairs when you can--if there are stairs. Take 2 rolls of quarters--one in each hand--squeeze them---100 times a session. get a 2 pound weighted bracelet--one on each wrist--all day is like lifting weights--but you don't even feel it---do this kind of stuff all day, everyday--no one sees it and you get more exercize than at a gym--guaranteed.Good luck and keep smiling--

How about using your lunch and your break time to walk outside? If you have an hour lunch and bring your own, you should have enough for a quick 15 minute walk.
