When I feel like I'm about to crack and indulge, I take a 10 minute walk. It clears my head - much better than giving in.

I have also forced myself to get out during a work day. My job can be quite stressful so this is way for me to come down and stop myself from choking someone. Ha Ha

That's so true. Usually on my lunch break I go to the malls. I don't want to spend $$, and I have a lot on my mind lately. So I went for a walk for an entire hour! It felt great and I've inspired others at work to do so too.

Don't Be A Liar

I mgot this tip from Walk It Off magazine: When you wake up in the morning, say out loud what your fitness goal is, "I will walk 40 minutes." That way, it's in your mind and you don't want to make a liar out of yourself. You can do this with any goal.
