It just wasn't feasible during development season. And would you believe, I ate some crackers after posting last night's post? Pathetic!

I would do the same thing you are doing now because I thought that was expected of me. Thanks to the new friends I met last year, I've started taking walks outside. If that doesn't work for me, then I'll just go upstairs and chat with coworkers in another group that are great at curing headaches. Taking breaks makes the time go by faster for me. Bad Habit #2: This habit was extremely hard to break, but the approach that I've taken so far is planning. While taking a break around the office, I'm always planning what I'm going to eat for snacks or dinner. I'm a little OCD about planning and organizing. When I get off work, I'll exercise at the gym and then go home to eat. Usually, I'll get home around 7 or 8. Things are going to change with the support season schedule. My biggest weakness is eating a handful of Oreos around bedtime. I guess it doesn't help that I have two packs laying around the house either. If you attempt to break your bad habits, Nina, I will do the same. I can always come get you when I take my walks around the block, or just send you reminders to take a break every hour or so. However, I'm not throwing away my Oreos so that habit will have to wait for a while. :-) Bad Habit #1: It took me a year to figure out that there’s life outside of Drake.
