@ Amanda – Thanks for the comment.

@ MEOIP – Mrs. PT has one of those, but it’s too small for me. I need to invest in a bigger size, I guess. Good idea though.

Buy one of those inflatable yoga balls instead of a ergonomic chair. Not only are they less expensive but they build strength and promote movement while using them. They only advice I have is to ease into the use don’t jump onto the thing for a full 8 hour day of sitting. Add on hour on the ball each day. It will work your trunk muscles all day long.

Hey PT, I have to agree with you. I’ll take quality over quantity any day!

@Asithi – I’d say there’s true value in that socializing. I guess the key is limiting it to one or every other time.

@David – Yep, spend the money for quality, classic itesm.

@Mrs. Micah – Yeah, I should probably just tell the girl who orders the snacks to choose some healthier options.

I had to watch out at the last place for office freebies. I didn’t take them to avoid bringing my own snacks as much as because I thought “Food. Me hungry. Attack!”

I was also in charge of ordering our office’s food cabinet stuff. I didn’t do a great job of keeping it healthy, however.

I could not agree more – it’s always best to spend the money when you need to, so you only have to buy things once. Tools are a great example of this!

It’s good to know that I am not the only one eating donuts and cakes in the office because it is FREE. I don’t really think of it as being frugal though. For me, it is because everyone in the office is having one and standing by the box chatting. Of course, I want to join the group, but if I want to have a donut in my hand when I do. Definitely not a habit that is good for the waistline.
