Drumroll please:
Put on music while you browse the internet.
I realized the other day just how much time I spend per day SITTING and using the computer. School, chatting, talking on the phone....you name it.
SO I decided to try some things to keep me figeting, and I found the answer:
Music. If I pop in some Madonna or Kylie Minogue (or anything that makes me want to dance and feel sexy) I tend to automatically do a seated dance, of sorts. I can't stop moving!
AND I found these articles today:

http://www.hateweight.com/news/january05/news_fidgeting_burns_calories_28jan05.html
They all seem to show that the "figeting" mentality really helps.
So even if I look stupid rocking out at my computer desk: So be it!
