Halloween Sweet Tooth

Monday, October 16th, 2006

It’s that time of year where the candy is everywhere. Beware of keeping candy in eye’s view (ie a bowl of M&Ms or miniature chocolates on your desk). While it may be a way to tempt colleagues to stop by and chat, studies show that if it’s in front of you, you’ll eat significantly more. So, get rid of the candy bowl… you’ll not only save a lot of calories, but maybe end up a lot more productive at work.

Motivation to Work Out

Ever feel like you need some extra motivation to stay on the treadmill or even get to the gym in the first place? Try going when your favorite show is on television — whether it’s Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Project Runway or even Friends reruns. The time goes much faster when you have something good to watch, and you’ll be much more likely to stay on for a few more minutes to see what happens. Plus, it gives you something to talk about with the person on the machine next to you… whoever that may be.
