In fact, lots of people lose weight by guess-timating calories. You can't "guess" until you already have a solid grasp of what it entails. Kirk does not. Based on the way I lost weight *when I was sticking to my calorie counting routine*, guesstimates and all, you're still wrong. -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "It's the cracked ones who let all the light into the world." --writer from my Tufts writing class |

Meaningful Cubicle Exercises
Kirk Is wrote: No one is asking you to make the host break down the contents of the food.But there are ways you can cut down on the calories you are taking in. For instance, if they are serving chicken, remove the skin. Ask that they don't serve you gravy. Etc.... Right. In the case of the stew, it was the portion I could request to be smaller, which I did. While obviously that helps with the larger goal of eating less, it doesn't help with the smaller goal of accurate calorie counting. I hope you will forgive me for a chess comparison. When I was a scholastic tournament director, I was often asked "What happens when I am keeping my scoresheet and I forget a move or mess up?" My answer to the kids is the same as my answer to you: "Start keeping score again on your next move." Skip the stew and move on. Now, if you wind up skipping moves, err, food items constantly, then there's a problem. Kirk, 227,212,180 Keep up the good work! Thanks, Kirk 227,211,180 -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "It's the cracked ones who let all the light into the world." --writer from my Tufts writing class Can't agree with the quotation, Kirk. Many people who let "light" into the world are perfectly ordinary. Shakespeare, for instance, had so boring a life that cranks feel the need to invent alternate authors of the canon.

I agree, I like the quote more for its sound than its sense. I did a high school paper on the authorship of Shakespeare... wrote it in the form of a dialog. Managed to get a high-A on it in both history and english even though it was laregely cribbed from a set of Atlantic articles... not my proudest academic moment, in retrospect. -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "Stupid people see beauty only in beautiful things." --Oliviero Toscani quoting Dadaist Saying |

Maybe you need to get one of those exercise bike desks for your cubicle? http://www.slimgeek.com/ I suggested that the college I work for get those for all us office workers. The other office workers thought it was a neat idea. The administration didn't. I think it might be neat as well but, well, my cubicle is in a large wing with maybe about 60 or 70 peoplei in the same area. What if they were all pedaling and sweating? I think the air conditioning would need some upgrading It's easier to hire a replacement when we get too sick to work and let the state pay the disability costs than take proactive steps to keep us healthy! That's for sure, always. Or actually in my country, there are at least some small efforts by employers to support exercising. For example, in my company they finally started with what are known as "exercise bills" which can be used to purchase gym memberships and such, in places who have chosen to accept those bills. We emplyees have to pay 25% of the nomination only. There's a limit of how much of these bills can be had per year however, so I can get maybe half a years' gym membership for 25%, but have to pay full price for the other half. In my previous job, I could get 50% of my money back against pretty much any exercise activity, as long as I had a receipt. At most 32 euros per month, though. |
