For years, I have spent my lunch time out... I need the change of scenary for my mental health! Also I found
that if you stay inside, you have a tendency to work throughout lunch or at least talk about it! Over the years, my routine has changed... when I first started that, I would actually go out to eat in restaurants... which ended up not being good on my waistline nor my wallet! Then I ended up spending my lunch time at the shopping mall... because it was close to my job... This was better on my waistline as I would bring my own lunch but not much better on the wallet! If not worst...
Now, since I started at my current job, I have decreased the number of time I go out because we sometimes
do yoga at lunch and we have a stitch and bitch club once a week...
However, the remaining days, I would spend at the shopping mall up untill January 1st!!! In order to
avoid temptation, I decided to change my routine and spend my free lunch break at Chapters (Starbucks)...
there I would have a chai and read a book... minimize spending and avoid temptation... but after 2 months
of that routine I am getting fed up and need a change...
So today at lunch, I decided that on the days were there would be no yoga and no stitching, I would go for
a walk when it is nice outside of course (if weather is not cooperative, I would go for a chai!)!
But by now, the weather should be going towards better times...
A walk at lunch time would be good for the wallet (no more chai) and for the waistline! ;)))
And if by any chance there is a park near by, I could even stop a few minutes to read whenever I feel like
it so it would be a winning situation for me - take some fesh air, soak up the sun and read!!!
When we hit really nice weather, I plan on using my bike to work at least twice a week so then I could bike to a park, read and get back to work all refreshed!
What do you guys think?
How do you spend your lunch time? Nurturing yourself? Or just keeping busy with work related issues?
