TIME TO START NOW! GET FIT AND HEALTHY FOR 2014

1.    Aim to eat lunch away from your desk at least a few times each week. Your desk is a minefield of distractions so chances are, you’re not focusing on your food, which can lead eating past fullness. 

2.    Watch those extra bites. A  French fry here, a chicken nugget there, and before you know it, you’re 100 calories (or more!) in. Each bite adds, on average, an extra 25 calories to your day. 

3.    De-nice yourself (up to a point). Practice saying 'no thanks' to staffers who are offering you a free taste in the supermarket. Once you realize you are not insulting anyone by saying a polite but firm 'no' it’ll be easier to say 'not today,' when your co-worker pushes a slice of pizza your way.
