Speaking of resolutions, how about the seemingly universal goal to drop a few pounds and/or exercise more? How's that going for you? I've stopped making it a yearly resolution and am resigned to the fact that it is instead a daily, year-round battle!
But I've got good news in my battle: I can combat my 5 pm craving with a brisk 15 minute walk. The New York Timesrecently reported: "As far as weight-loss strategies go, it is not the most glamorous, but studies have found that a brisk walk around the block can significantly dampen cravings, whether the urge for junk food or the desire to light up a cigarette."
So, in order to keep myself from eating that chocolate bar while waiting for the bus after work, I'm going to walk a few extra blocks to a farther stop and keep that weight at bay!
