It is quite difficult for many to maintain a healthy lifestyle while working 8 hours at a computer. I eat fairly healthy but watch all my coworkers struggle. The number one mistake: not packing a lunch. I can't stress this to people enough. When I see treats in the kitchen, I will indulge as they aren't there all the time, but it's also really easy to just grab a small piece and leave so you're not tempted to eat more. We also have healthy snack day each week where someone brings in healthy snacks. I have done it a few times bringing in fruit, vegetables, my homemade trail mix, etc. The best advice you mentioned above...pack your own snacks. If you do your groceries on the weekend, buy fruits and veggies and chop them up on Sunday night. Nice post. I work in an office and your description is 100% correct.

I actually gained my "freshman 15" after I graduated! The sedentary lifestyle change ( I was always on the go in college) combined with fatty foods and drinks really packed it on for me. Luckily I took it all off, and then some! But Ive since learned. I bring all my own food and I always have snacks handy. So this really works for me as Im never caught in a situation where im hungry and theres tempting foods around. I can just bust out an apple or something and problem solved!! So live and learn I guess=) Really great tips that you have btw! and its awesome that they have La Croix at work!! The foods pics look so amazing as well. Im loving the squash and chickpea salad with tofu. Looks great!! Wow this is a great topic! I actually gained my “freshman 15″ after I graduated!

I just don't see the point to them! they are supposed to mimic the fact that way back in the day before running sneaks were invented, our feet worked perefectly fine, none of these nikes and asics shoes exsisted so why not run like our ancestors did? My issue with this is that there is a lack of support and also, why not take advantage of the modern technology we have today?? I have mixed feelings! cookie crisp?! ahh that brings me back!!

I do it sometimes too! I'm so glad I don't work in an office and never will, but I will work in a hospital so not sure if they are much better! Tofu looks amazing I need to find a new way to cook it getting sick of BBQ and Lawry's does NOT agree with Tofu and here I thought it went on everything. Sometimes you just need junk cereal!
