I also use Garmin Vivoactive whenever I do some swimming, biking, and offroad driving.
I thought I'm going to have a problem with installing my ready lift. Glad it was okay and over. Time to hit the road.
remember women usually need less calories than man. You doctor should be willing to answer some of your questions over the phone about how many calories he would you like you to have and if seated exercise would be Ok. Once you know that you can start from there. there are some great exercise you can do seated. Plus it will show him that you want to change. Good Luck you can do it
Yeah it's all starting with the eating right now. We try to only bring good stuff in now. I rarely every drink coke/soda/pop anymore.
I agree, going to 1200 calories would be too extreme right now. My wife started Weigh****chers but that has me at something nuts like 79 points which I think that's too much so I try to keep close to hers (39), or if counting calories, anything between 2000-2500 right now.
The short answer I keep getting from everyone is that I really need to get a doctor first and then go from there, so I guess for now I work on the eating and hopefully in a few months or something I can fit in a car to get out to a doctor and go from there.
start with your eating. you say you can not get out of the house so you must have someone who does your shopping. Only allow healthy food inside your home. No pop or sugar stuff. Going to 1200 calories at your weight would not be enough calories. talk to the doctor to see how much calories you should be taking in and keep track and the weight should start to come off. Once the weight start coming off than start walking. If you can just walk around your home each day for so many minutes. I have seen where people can not get out of bed and had a small punching bag above the bed and they would exercise using that. If you are sitting do leg marches or punches using your arms. Use a soup can and do arm lifts. Talk to the doctor first even over the phone and ask them if it would be OK to do these exercise and if the answer is yes than go for it.
There is a lot of things you can do at your desk and I know there are many good sites on the net to give you some ideas. One idea is a ball under your feet and do some calf raises. Use your desk or wall and do some push ups. Squats is another thing you can do when you have a few minutes stand up and start doing some squats. On a break do the stairs or go to the stairs and use one stair and do steps up on it as fast as you can for a minute. you be surprise at the work out you get doing that. I do that one all the time waiting for the bus. Use the curb.
Have to check on that too. I also saw some equipments that you can put under your table for some activity and exercise. What you think of those?
I agree very much to you, redmarx08. I think the office will allow it but still, have to ask permission.
There are some great videos on YouTube for desk stretching, and yoga you can do while sitting in a desk.
Set an alarm on your calendar or your phone to remind yourself to get up and stretch every hour or so. Some smar****ches and fitness bands can also be programmed to notify you if you've been sitting too long!

Your best option is to commute so that you can have some time to walk and take the stairs. Workout within office hours depends on how lenient is the management of your office when it comes to this kind of activity.
