As you consider your choices of better health, consider the subtle changes you can make to your day! Basically, if it involves movement/exercise, add it. If the food is processed, avoid it: Think about the possible differences in choices you could make during your day.

Park further from the building and walk the extra distance. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Get up 10 minutes earlier and go for a brisk walk. (Calories burned: 100!)

Instead of that Egg McMuffin, eat a small whole wheat bagel or piece of toast with one tablespoon of peanut butter. (Calories saved: 180)

And instead of that afternoon coke, drink a glass of water (calories saved: 97)

Choose real fruit or real nuts for snacks. An apple or a banana is a much healthier choice instead of those processed snacks you buy at the store that claim they are "made from real fruit".

When dining with a friend at a restaurant, order one entree and split it. Restaurants usually put too much food on a large plate. Divide it before eating it.

Stand up during your TV show and wiggle! (You might encourage giggles from those around you - invite them to wiggle with you!)

Take a break during your workday to take a 15 minute walk around your building. If the weather allows, walk outside. If not, walk the floors and stairs instead.

By adding exercise to your day and decreasing your calorie intake, you will find a healthier *you* awaiting tomorrow!
