Skullbaby's Progress
I'm glad you've been able to stay active through your injury, Skull. A treadmill desk sounds awesome - I've seen those online. I'm very fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on how tired I am on any given day) that my job keeps me on my feet 95% of the time. I know so many people these days really do spend all day on their butts, though. Sitting all day may not be quite as injurious as smoking, but I don't think your fitness trainer was all that far off the mark in his/her statement. Sitting for too long, too much of the time, leads to all sorts of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorder and, y'know, death.
And yeah, I know what you mean about stewing over problems for days or even weeks. Although I've found that sometimes confronting a person directly about a situation is not the best route to go for me. You'd be amazed by how often drama plays out in my head, but was not perceived to be an issue by anyone else present, nor would it be perceived as a problem by any other rational person if they were in my shoes. Often times, I find the best course of action is to talk it over with a trusted, yet completely uninvolved, third party - preferably a longtime friend or family member who both knows about my tendency to blow things out of proportion, and is more levelheaded than I am. They'll usually convince me that saying something would only create drama where it otherwise doesn't exist. Of course, there are also times that I really should confront the issue directly but I don't for any number of reasons. Being assertive is definitely not my strong suit. Oh well, like all of us, I'm a work in progress.
