Lunch hour NSV

My lunch hour used to look like this:

*Wander around Target and spend money I didn't have and stuff I didn't need.
*Go to the drive-thru at McDonald's and order a double cheeseburger, med. fry, 4 pc. nugget and diet coke
*Eat crap food in my car so no one will see me, feeling guilty the entire time, telling myself "tomorrow I will do better"
*Lie to co-workers that I just "grabbed a quick bite."

Today my lunch hour is this:

*Drag my butt to the mini-gym that is provided for free by my employer (which is a tremendous perk I've ignored for too long)
*Walk at least 2 miles, challenging myself to increase inclines, speeds and times
*Get excited to log my progress into MFP
*Eat my healthy lunch that I packed the night before
*Be proud instead of guilty!!!!!

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!!!!

    That is a huge NSV, you should be very proud of yourself for making a positive change. Even changing how you spend that one hour of your day every day can have a tremendous impact on your overall health, your attitude, and your confidence.

    Keep it up!

    Amazing NSV - I've been getting out and about walking in my lunch hour and the afternoon seems to fly by when I'm back in the office for some reason!!

    Also my surname is Houghton too, just thought I'd slip that in :smile:

    Thats so great! I wish I had time to workout, I only get 30 minutes. Barely time to scarf down my food.

    This makes me smile. :bigsmile: Your before is like my "before"...always hiding and lying. I don't have a gym at work, so I pack a healthy lunch and after I eat I read forums on MFP and go to the gym before I go home. Keep up the good work!!
