Screen Time & the Mayo Clinic Program

It may have been fortuitous that my computer died (now resurrected, hallelujah!) while I started the Mayo Clinic Weightloss program. One of the rules for the first 2 week jump start of the Mayo program is: No TV while eating and only as much TV time as time you spend exercising. Not that I consider all of my screen time on the computer "TV" but certainly downloading Justified, my favorite TV show, and watching The Rachel Maddow Show, another favorite, count as TV. All too often I have eaten at my desk while online. Exercising while watching is OK. On the program I had to dance through the whole 60 minutes of my Old Crow Medicine Show DVD plus do a 25 minute Yoga set just to watch the movie Crazy Heart. Now, I love the Dude but I'm not quite sure that movie needed to be so long. I've also become pickier about which clips of the Maddow Show I will watch if I have to pay for it with exercise. The good news is I feel more energetic already from all this exercise.
