It affords me the opportunity to save on gas, time, spend more time with my kids and run outside 2 extra days. So...I am in no way complaining about this gift bestowed upon me by my employer.
It does - however, personally challenge me some days. I have instant access to my refridgerator and I am in either my running clothes, PJs or some other amazingly comfortable apparel. Not an easy recipe for self control.
Today I got "snowed in". Yup - 4 inches of snow has snowed me in! Apparently a major road on my commute is closed due to a ton of accidents so I am stuck working from home.
Friday is "weigh in" day for me and my girlfriend. It's the home stretch and home - with my fridge - is the last place I want to be. I'd rather be in my office sitting in meetings all day.
My survival strategy? I'm putting on those jeans that haven't "fit" me in years. I certainly can't wear them in public, and I'm not certain how comfortable I'll be sitting down - but they will serve as a constant reminder as to why I can't indulge those cravings!! It's a head game and I'm in it to win it!
That is so smart. When I put my PJs on they seem to be tied to the snacks....thats a great idea for the weekends!!! Erica
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea Penny! I found that once I pre cut and washed all my veggies it made it easier for me to reach in the fridge for them. I don't eat very healthy but making it convenient seems to be working :)
