I walk to and from work, when weather permits. Its only about 15 minutes each way. This way i can relax at lunch since i spend a lot of time on my feet at work.

I have been walking some on my lunch breaks and I am finding that if I actually take my lunch, I am more productive later.

I always work through lunch - sorry I just do. It gets me out before the rush home, so I am not in a 2 hour commute instead of a one.
I take that extra hour each night and work out. But what I can say is that working through lunch also means I don't go out for lunch. That is HUGE for me, as I can't find as much food or as healthy food in my area. I will say I do splurge once a week, and goto a Cajun restaurant where I know the chef, she makes me grilled fish, with grilled veggies, and I get a small gumbo. I love her gumbo, it is so worth it.
Now I have taken control...

My computer is broken (finished ). I must use my sons, So I spend my time in the garden most days.I'm sitting down less and drinking more water these days. It should pay off in great dividends.

I always have to work through lunch. I try to get my exercise in before work. I'm not very motivated if I wait until after work. (lately, I haven't been motivated at all, but I'm working on it!)
Afternoon all, Well i walked my Daughter to school today instead of going in the car, Its helping the enviroment plus im getting the exercise as well, Its looking like im going in car to pick her up as its pouring down.x
I will take controll over my body and lose the weight and then when i ever see my youngest daughter,s dad i will just walk right past and smile, I had his only Daughter and because i put abit on when she was born he left me saying i dont do fat woman and he as not even sin his daughter since she was 18mths old, She is now 5yr and 4mths, Well its his loss not mine.

I work through lunch a lot. It is hard, but I try and walk as much as possible if not during the day then at night or do some kind of exercise. It really helps with the stress level.

Yes I do agree, walking during lunch can really boost my mood for the rest of the workday, sometimes even if I cant make it a long one, I walk somewhere shorter. Amazing what parking at the back of the parking lot can do for my mental prep for a meeting. Rosa

You have to work through your lunch so you aren't able to go walking?? That's me today and I'm annoyed bc of it. I'm going to try to walk during my break but it isn't as much time as I'd like. *sigh* oh well, we do what we can.
