January is practically over, and a popular New Year’s resolution made by us office workers was probably to lose weight or to keep fit whilst still working full time. It’s no secret that many of us fail to keep these resolutions because January typically includes a lot of stress-eating from returning to the office after a holiday of laziness and leftovers. You may realise your fitness regime is at a stand-still, but the fact is, just because you’re at work all day doesn’t mean you can’t stay fit and healthy. Therefore, use February as a start to make some simple lifestyle and work habit adjustments, such as: 1.

We are all thinking it, why can’t we have more time off to laze around all day and eat endless leftovers? But try and get that thought out of your mind. The good side to the end of the holidays is that you’ve had the chance to rest, relax and enjoy yourself. The rush and busy few days before Christmas has ended both in work and in the home, therefore the peaceful and quiet time after the festive season has hopefully given you a well needed break.
