The Health Implications of Sitting All Day

Funny, Mai just mentioned to me this week about those office treadmills where you walk at a very slow pace with your desk/computer propped in front of you. What a timely article. I had no idea that there were such pronounced health implications between a desk job versus one where you're standing or moving. That said, I gained 19 pounds since starting a desk job four years ago.But I lost 3 pounds this week! Journaling every day, exercise most days, sticking to ~1400 calories daily, consuming a minimum of 4 servings of fruits & veggies each day, averaging 25 grams of fiber intake each day, fat intake ~30%. I didn't experience the weight loss success of the rest of you in our class, but I've never had a problem with binge eating since taking that class and my body has never consumed so much produce as it has in the past 6 months. Small victories!
