If 99% of what you do is in front of a computer and the other 1% is in meetings there’s no reason there shouldn’t be remote work.

I moved fully remote a year ago for several reasons, and as much as I miss the office camaraderie, my wallet, belt line and mental health all appreciate it a lot.

I gained weight working from home :(

Even a boring day at the office with little "extra" walking had me close to 10k steps.

I can go for a 2 mile walk everyday I work from home and barely get 8k it seems.

Plus ironically I eat more garbage. When I was at the office there were decent healthy options like salads and stuff. At home...it's way to easy to grab a box of wheat thins and eat the whole thing.

I started intermittent fasting at home and it helped a lot. For me IF cuts down on a lot of snacking just from the nature of usually being more full between those hours and being strict outside of them.

At the office we used to go for lunch all the time and the two restaurants in walking distance are a pub and an Italian place. If there were a more healthy option maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
