Balancing Work and Weight Loss

Posted on 21. Mar, 2010 by Jay in Challenge +, Gym

I wish my work was more of an offline type of thing instead of the more I work online the more money I make.

I tried things to stay active while working online, like using those fitness balls as chairs but I never really found them comfortable for too long.

I just wish I could work online without distractions for 5-10 hours a day and not worry about being sedentary. I guess that’s going to be another challenge in my weight loss journey.

Since I put health as priority number one in my life, working and making money has lagged. I think I either need to stop wasting time with T.V. and video games or go live out in the street. Lol..

Grrr I hate having to grow up.

Anyone with tips on balancing work and exercise?

I used to play a lot of online games but have had to give that up to get the time to exercise and live life.

  I don’t play computer games anymore, thankfully!
  
  But I still play Xbox 360 every once in awhile.
  
  My main time sap is TV..

For me it was the TV watching that had to suffer. I barely watch any TV. While I dod the elliptical training I watched a lot of TV while doing the exercise but running does not really lends itself to TV watching even when on a treadmill. So I just don’t watch TV and quite honestly I don’t miss it all that much.

Welcome to JayLoss.com! I’m Jay!

I'm Jay and I've come a long way from my peak weight of 336 pounds!

I've documented my weight loss from 268 pounds all the way down to 170-ish pounds in this blog. It took just under a year to do and since reaching my goal weight, I decided to maintain 180 pounds. Now I'm focusing on building muscle and maintaining a healthy body fat percentage.

Of course there have been a lot of ups and downs in losing so much weight. The process of setting goals and reaching them is very exciting. Just having something to strive for and using this blog as pressure to keep me going did wonders.

Stick around, give me your feedback and maybe start your own weight loss journey. -Jay
