Getting fit at work

I was rocking it at the gym on the daily before I got hit with Hand foot and mouth, now I'm still kinda hurting and also low on time. Trying to find exercises I can do here at work. One of the things I have been doing is every time I go to the restroom (which is single stall so there's no chance of anyone walking in on me while I'm doing something embarrassing) is breaking out some toning and strengthening moves. I don't do reps, but simply do as many as I can or hold as long as I can until I start to shake, feel that prana as they say in yoga. Some things I have done is;

-Wall pushes (push on the wall as hard as you can with your whole body)

-Plank

-Crunches (if the room is big enough and the floor is clean enough obviously)

-lunges

-squats

-Push ups

-Side Planks
-small punches from side to side (I plant my feet and form fists and twist side to side from my midsection to feel this move in my abs)

At my desk:

-Plant hands beside my body and lift legs up together to make an L shape with my body and hold

-Lift legs up together with feet flat and hold
-Put a stress ball between thighs and push in and hold, repeat

I'll update as I find more things. If you stumble upon my blog here, please share with me how you get or stay fit at work.

Update

It's been a long time since I last wrote, luckily I have very few readers to apologize to ;) So what's new... well the garden is looking great, I just discovered that butternut squash produce very beautiful large yellow flowers. The ducks are just about full size now and that is just in time for the start of my new hobby of furniture restoration. A friend introduced me the the most inspiring site for this; http://betterafter.blogspot.com/. This site showcases furniture, decorations, and rooms that have all been redone and brought back to life. Why do I love this so much? Because it's green, it's cost effective and it's domestically savy! *Photos to come of my "better after" items. My two cents about furniture restoration; Sprucing up something you already own, free furniture, cheap furniture from a yard sale is a great way to recycle and also keep you from buying an unsturdy piece of furniture from a large corporation store which will inevitably break.

I'm going to be a new mom...

...to two adorable ducklings which will arive next week! Why ducks? Besides the fact that they are adorable and happen to make great pets, they are a natural pesticide as they are natural foragers, limit the amount of unwanted pests such as mosquitos and ticks and make excellent egg layers. Resulting in 100-300 eggs per year. Here's what Urbanhomestead.com has to say about the differences between chicken and duck eggs; "In our baking experience here on the urban homestead we find that by using duck eggs our baked goods turn out very moist and fluffy (winning lots of great compliments like “what’s in these brownies?”). Duck eggs also have more albumen (the protein in the white) than chicken eggs, which gives them more structure when cooked. For this reason, many people prefer duck eggs for baking: the extra protein creates additional loft in cakes. Never eaten duck eggs? Duck eggs taste pretty much the same as chicken eggs. The eggs and yolks are larger and they have a richer...
