I work at a computer a lot and that's what i use.
Except don't you have to keep in mind that when you fill out your "Allowance" (Tools>Allowance) you choose your normal daily activity level.  For example, I work in a bakery and do a lot of running around, heavy lifting, etc. so I chose "Moderate Activity".  As such, I do not add my 8 hours a day at the bakery in my Activity Log.  I only log excess activity - i.e. I bicycle to and from work.


bebe, i know you didn't mean it, but i wasn't reading carefully, and i had to read your first sentence twice, because i thought you were looking for a good cat!  you made me go "huh?"  and then i laughed.  i see kelliegeane answered your question already.
amethyst, that's right, if you include your work in the basic level, it's not necessary to log it every day. 
heehee. I also thought cat. :)
I don't think there's such a thing as a GOOD cat.. fuzzy, yes, sweet-tempered, maybe.. but most of the cats *I* know are trouble! :)
A good cat.  hehehe

I agree with not logging it as an extra activity, but that's up to you.

That's one thing that is nice about this site.  You can use it just about any way that suits you.  Just make sure you are not fooling yourself into thinking you are more active than you are or less active than you are, kwim?  You don't want to cheat yourself in any way.  Like, if you put it in you "light activity" thingy and your activity log, that wouldn't work so well...  Same if you didn't count it at all.  Gotta be careful.  I wish you the best of luck and look forward to reading about your experiences!
hkellick: cats are supposed to be trouble!  Therefore, they are all good at begin cats.  Hee.

The problem with my sweet tempered one is that she's dumb as a post.  The problem with my smart one is that she's mean as He**.  But they're both good cats!

Bebe, you work the same hours as me.  Yay for being an office monkey.
thanks guys. this helped...
