exercise. I’m not saying you have to do two hours of calisthenics a day, but you do need to get up out of that chair and do something. Go for a walk, do some light housework, it doesn’t matter. Just do something besides sitting.
4. Use break-time wisely.
Wait a minute - doesn’t taking a break mean eating a snack?
NO! You need to fill your break time with other things that you
enjoy. Like reading, or knitting, or talking on the phone (my
favorite!). Maybe even combine this with option #3 (get moving), and then you’ll be doing well.
5. Make some trade-offs.
Okay, so you had a few too many snacks one day. You’ll do better
the next day. Or you’ll do some extra exercise to make up for it.If you have that snack, make a commitment to walk, instead of drive, on your next errand.
As with many things in life, it’s all about moderation. The
benefits of working at home far outweigh (pun intended!) the
negative aspects. And if you can follow the steps above to fight the bulge, then you will make the work-at-home experience that much more enjoyable.
