The Office: Can YOU stay fit there?

Tweet

As we all know for some people the office is a place to sit in a chair for 8-10 hours a day, stare into a screen, smoke every break and eat the most pathetic excuses for food that one can find, the more processed and overpriced, the better. To top it all off, of course there's also plenty of bad instant coffee, for the win :D Health freaks' are usually met with ridicule by the smokers' and coffee drinkers' crews, and you may have seen how any attempts at keeping a good diet will never last more than a week. Can something be done ? I for one have embarked months ago on a campaign of saying NO to this sort of 'lifestyle', and a big NO for good. A little change every day. After some time of keeping at it, my ways of fighting the system are now as follows: - lunch breaks have been renamed and baptised as: TRAINING BREAKS. Generally I go down in the underground parking and run, or shoot a youtube video, or both :D - no coffee, never. Instead, I brought Yerba Mate tea (energising, exactly like coffee, with no side-effects, yet full of good stuff) and other teas. No Coke, Mountain Dew and all that junk either. No sugar, for the win :)1 - good food, cooked, plenty of it, much cheaper on the long run(from an actual supermarket) than the usual office crap. Maybe a good Chinese soup when enough of us decide to order Chinese. No pizza, lame old sandwiches, chips and crackers - Protein Bars - whenever I need sweet, I feel hungry, have no good food around, I go for a bar. I do have at least 4 Protein Bars on me at all times. Just in case. Maybe I don't need them but if I do they're always there. IF I'm in a hurry, IF there's nothing good around, I choose the backup food, not my office :) - again, MUCH cheaper on the long run - Abs. ANY chair without handles, and 5-10 minutes in a private space, you can do some abs exercises in. 5-10 mins is all you need to get your heart rate and metabolism up, and it will STAY up for hours, burning fat as you work instead of gathering more :D - smoking - my profound disgust and pity for tobacco smokers keeps me inventive with my spare time at work. Yes, I do smoke some other stuff at home, maybe 2-3 times a month, but it's done properly, strong and from a bong, a few lungfuls of smoke raise the spirit on powerful wings and colors, not like the daily dose of death my colleagues inhale each day, each break, while they should move and stretch and unwind. What are your ways of fighting the system ? I'm sure there are many more, I for one am always looking for new ideas on this Peace :)
