Is Your Computer Making You Fat?

Your wrist gets it’s workout clickin’ away on your mouse and while it’s important to have thin wrists so your watch and bracelets look nice, what about the rest of your body?

Lots of women working from home are facing this problem. You get so involved in the work you’re doing on the computer that time flies by, you’ve spent hours sitting in front of the computer, usually snacking and the next thing you know, you’ve put on a few pounds.

I used to have this problem myself, just like I had the problem with checking emails as they came through, tying up all my time and getting off track. As a successful woman entrepreneur you have to manage your time. So what did I do? I put myself on a schedule, I write out all my daily activities on my white board and then I schedule a time next to each activity. This helps me stay on track and get things done.

I also include break times in my schedule, I go outside and take a quick walk around the neighborhood for about 15 minutes, I come back recharged and ready to go. I also put my daily exercise time on the white board, for me it works best if I do it before I start the day, because then I don’t get involved in work and not get it done.

Working at home is great, it gives you freedom and flexibility, but if you don’t manage your time you won’t be productive and you might even gain a few unwanted pounds. So take the time to take good care of yourself, exercise, take breaks and stay away from those snacks, then your computer won’t make you fat!
