| I'm guilty of this too...although I've definitely added more weight than knowledge lately.Does this mean if I lose weight I also lose SQL knowledge? Cause I'm looking for ANY good excuse not to exercise. |

Hahaha funny, I hear that I started about 4 years (22 years old) and was about 165...Now I'm 186...Thats a big weight gain, and even my fiancee made the comment that I am getting a bit "chunky" lately.I wish there was intramural activities at the workplace, that is originally why I created that one post "Work Perks".I try to get out of here by 4:30pm-5pm each day, and go out for a ball game and a run. I sweat my arse off but sometimes it just does not help...Its very difficult to lose weight at certain ages.One good tip, and you may not be guilty of this but I certainly was is that you should not eat late at night...the latest time you should be eating is about 7pm...anything later is bad news! I know that's got to hurt :|

| Yea, eating late is a bad idea. But I think my inactivity throughout the day (sitting, coding, etc) just kills my metabolism. |

| >>Anyone of you guys care to share your cubicle exercise routines?For a while I was doing handstands on the cube walls but then the director complained about the footprints on the HVAC ducts. So now I just resort to the foot tremmors and facial ticks.I'm afraid to go on a diet in case it is proportional. I don't want to loose what little knowledge I have.Be One with the OptimizerTG |

| Ya know... this post really got me thinking. Anyway - google pointed me to ...(stripped down to the point of this post)60-Second Aerobics Glance at the wall clock and rip off a minute's worth of jumping jacks. If you're a beginner, try the low-impact version (raise your right arm and tap your left toe to the side while keeping your right foot on the floor; alternate sides) Do a football-like drill of running in place for 60 seconds. Get those knees up! (Beginners, march in place.) Simulate jumping rope for a minute: Hop on alternate feet, or on both feet at once. An easier version is to simulate the arm motion of turning a rope, while alternately tapping the toes of each leg in front. While seated, pump both arms over your head for 30 seconds, then rapidly tap your feet on the floor, football-drill style, for 30 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times. If you can step into a vacant office or conference room, shadow box for a minute or two. Or just walk around the room as fast as you can. Or do walk-lunges in your office or a vacant room. (You could also amuse your co-workers by doing these in the hall; remember Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" comedy routine?). Set your PDA to beep you into action. No conference room? Take to the stairs -- two at a time if you need a harder workout! Do this 5-7 times a day. Although, this may just be a "how to annoy your coworkers" spam.Jayme |

| I blame my wife not SQL - she has been far too successful at feeding me up! We recently got a dog so that we would get more excercise but as we live very near a good pub we tend to go there on the way back so now we drink more too!!A sarcasm detector, what a great idea. |

I stand up and walk a bit for 5 minutes every 3 hours, since our cafeteria is a couple of meters away from our office, it's a good exercise and excuse to get coffee, lunch is easily metabolized due to the distance  --------------------keeping it simple... |
