Break up sitting time: decreasing sedentary time and increasing activity is linked to substantial health benefits. Time spent sedentary is related to excess weight and obesity, independent of physical activity level.
Think about your drinks: choose water and limit fruit juice to one small glass per day.
Comments or ideas?
I know I need to be more active in general, including getting in more exercise. When I remember, I set an alarm to get up and move around because when I am sitting the time goes by and I don't realize how long I've been inactive.
Usually I drink 2 glasses of water during each meal. I like to put lemon in my water. I don't drink juice.

Yes, I know I sit too long... And I know a lot of things a person can do to deal with it, like setting a clock (or your watch or your smartphone) to get yourself up out of the chair every hour, even if it's only to walk around the room (or the house or the office...). And I don't do any of them. So I continue to sit too long.
I don't think about my drinks. I make herbal tea every morning (64 to 68 ounces of tap water, one relatively "strong" herbal tea bag, both in an 8-cup Pyrex measuring bowl, into the microwave for about 13 or 14 minutes so the water gets hot without boiling and the tea has time to steep), pour it into travel mugs, and drink all day long... It's like colored. slightly flavored water. It works for me.

Drinking water while at home is something that is a habit. I don't really think about it. While out sightseeing I do hydrate but worry about where the next bathroom will be!
I sit WAY too long. If I don't get out and walk before 10am it usually doesn't happen.

I have been trying to get up off my dead a-- & do more walking. My foot has been bothering me, so it's easy to just give into it. I am not a fan of sitting around, need to force myself to move more.
I haven't drank juice to speak of in a very long time. I drink too much coffee & tea, but I do get in quite a bit of water. Like Cathy, I try to restrict it when I am out & about. Finding a bathroom every few minutes, can be a pain.

my fitbit buzzes at 10minutes to the hour if I haven't gotten 250 steps in that hour. During the day at work, I do try to get up and walk, but darn work keeps interfering. I know if I do sit too long, it is harder to get up as my knees stiffen up.
I drink water or plain ice tea all day long. During summertime, it is much easier to keep up the water intake. I carry water with me when I go out for the day, and agree about the bathroom.
