I usually do intervals on my elliptical, and I watch DVDs to keep my brain entertained. After a while it just became habit and really felt like quality "me time". I…
  • We have a toaster oven at work, so I chopped up a ton of veggies (carrot, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts) and roasted them with some cooking spray and salt. Throw those over a couple cups of mixed greens and add some sliced avocado and a hard boiled egg.
