I’ve shared a few times before that I am diabetic.

This month, I’ve had several doctor’s appointments in an attempt to lower my A1C.

My doctor told me that if I am not able to improve it by my next three-month checkup, that I will have to start on insulin. I not a fan of pricking my finger to check my blood sugar. So I am definitely not excited to sign up for using insulin every day by a needle!

So, this was my wake up call to get myself in check. I’ve tried many times before to eat healthier, but the bottom line is I wasn’t willing or able to modify my habits in order to improve my diet. I don’t have a choice this time.

To help, he increased the strength of one of my medicines and required that I began taking all of this much more seriously. I have to improve my diet, which includes eating breakfast and adding healthy snacks.

In addition, I have been meeting with a nurse in my doctor’s office to discuss counting carbs, daily exercise (or at least three times weekly), monitoring my blood sugar, and taking my medication correctly.

My schedule is crazy, but I’m trying to create new habits which in turn will make up a new lifestyle.

How To Snack Healthy At Work

I handle online media (website content management, social media, etc.) for our clients at an advertising agency. I’ve also had this blog since 2011.

Although I work normal office hours, I also have a 45 minute commute to work. I get in as early as I can to try and fit in a walk before I start my day. My hope is that increasing my exercise and improving my diet will make a significant improvement on my health.

If you do a Google search for how to snack healthy at work, you will get a list of foods that include:

  • Fruit or Dried Fruit.
  • Nuts.
  • Protein Bar, Fruit & Nut Bar, or Energy Bar.
  • Yogurt.
  • String Cheese.
  • Jerky.
  • Granola.
  • Nut Butter.

Sitting at a desk all day requires a conscious effort to get up and move. The easiest way to stay healthy at work is to incorporate exercise into your day and to have healthy options readily available. That way we reach for the good stuff when we’re “hangry” in the afternoon.

So, I bring in some of these items each week. I leave them on my desk, the kitchen counter, and in the refrigerator.

As we all know, all snacks are not created equally. The office might be stocked with vending machines doling out candy bars, cookies, and chips. But there is an easy way to snack healthy at work. It just takes a little planning and prep work.

Simplicity. When you bite into these bars, the first thing you taste are the bright flavors of real fruit, real juice, real veggies or real yogurt.

    I love Outshine bars – they’re one of my favorite cold treats, especially in the summer. I also enjoy a handful of nuts for a good, healthy snack! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday last week.
