I have learned the hard way, and its going to be harder. However, there is a solution and its combined with "will-power", excorcise, and perserverence. You know what I used to do with a group of colleagues, we would go and play basketball at a court in Pasadena every Friday. I used to work at game/tv animation company. People staying fit with other people. It was a good starting point , and I took it from there. I have fell off the excorsize wagon, but I am gonna get back on now, thats for sure, especially since I have two boys. With energy. Lots and lots of ENERGY!!! And thats good, bc I get out with them and run around, and its fun, but it reminds me everyday to get some excorsize. The group thing was great. It helped break the ice. And now I get to do it with my kids. I do want them to see the great things I can do as a professional in the field, and live to see it. I go and buy the new pair of running shoes instead of the animated dvd, today. It is very, very, important to maintain your health. I have learned the hard way, and its going to be harder.

For me, that means my deadlines work around my workouts. Investing in your health pays dividends. I've never been a soda drinker, but a friend was able to kick their habit by replacing soda with sparkling water. Must be the bubbles.

It was a easy for him and a big improvement. Do the Wii then go sit in the sun for an hour. ;-) Brian used “myself fitness” on Xbox to start his process. It was a easy for him and a big improvement.

I'm dealing with this exact subject in my life right now. I work 9 hours at the day job sitting on my butt at a computer. Then after the kids go to bed it's another 6 or 7 hours on my butt flatting, drawing, designing or coloring. Stress levels are through the roof. Plus I'm averaging 3 to 4 hours sleep a night. And I feel like CRAP. My blood pressure is up and I've gained more than 5 pounds in the last year! And my blood pressure is reading "elevated" recently. Not High. Not dangerous...but I'm 31. I shouldn't have ANY blood pressure problems. I need to get something figured out QUICK! We got the Wii Active for christmas which is better than nothing at all I suppose but it's still not the same as running, hiking, biking or something like that.

Just about six months or so ago, I stopped going to the gym for all sorts of different "reasons", and then before I knew it, I gained a lot of weight, a belly appeared where my "abs" used to be, and I felt lanky and gross, and I got really really sick more often. Like Brian said, I saw John Rauch's transformation in his FB exercise updates, and I got so inspired that I started to hit the gym again just recently, and I forgot how good it felt to be able to just move around, and do runs, etc. Of course, medical expenses are way more expensive if we get sick often (or develop diabetes!) in the long term, so that's something I think about each day! Thanks for this entry, Kristy! By the way, I'm a HUGE fan of the Hi-Fi books! Kudos to you and Brian! Great post!

That was enough to scare me. It took YEARS to lose the weight and some days are a struggle to not sit and snack while working. The good news is I feel so much better and have so much more energy. I'm quite literally half the man I used to be. Fellow colorist and former Hi-Fi contributor John Rauch is documenting his P90X program on Facebook and other colorist are trying to come up with innovative ways to work healthier. I even heard one creator set-up pedals under their computer desk and tried to keep their legs moving while they worked. That is dedication!
