The daily diet is most frequently the worst problem area when you're
trying to lose weight. Between home and work and the responsibilities
that come with each, it can be almost impossible to find healthy
choices at the last minute. Spare yourself the daily scrounging and
stock up on healthy foods that can be ready at a moment's notice.

Make
a point to stash some of your good-for-you snacks at work so that when
the mid-afternoon cravings hit, you have something satisfying and diet-
friendly. I have a blog that has more information on some of what I've
been writing about, if you feel like checking it out, it's here

Challenge yourself.

Set personal goals for yourself and don't forget to reward your
accomplishment! If your goal is to be more active at work, buy a
pedometer and challenge yourself to take 6,000 steps during your
workday. Be creative about it: walk to a colleague's desk rather than
email, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and go to the bathroom
three floors down instead of the one on your floor. Challenging
yourself can be very fulfilling on a personal level when you achieve
your goals, and can encourage you on to greater achievement.
