The holidays have come and gone swiftly as they always seem to do! No matter which holiday you celebrate it is a safe bet that food was in the merriment equation. No matter your vice (ie-Cheesecake, turkey, cookies, a glass of wine...) it is a good bet you and your stomach teamed up and made a dent.

Now it is January, work is in full swing and the office is littered with empty chocolate wrappers and forgotten candy boxes. The million dollar question is how do you get your body back in shape, especially with the time constraints and rigours of your job.

The answer is getting creative! Here are some ideas to get your body working and your mind too, while at your job.

It’s All Where You Park- Park a little farther away from the office and get some extra steps in. If you take the subway or bus, get off a station or stop before your destination and get a little extra walk time in.

Use Those Stairs- Instead of the beloved elevator try taking the stairs. That extra up and down time is great for your body and will refresh your mind

Eat Healthy-Instead of always going out for lunch bring a healthy lunch from home. Fill it with the food groups and make sure you have great healthy snacks.

Take a Stretch Break- Instead of your 5 minute coffee break stretch a bit, walk around and get your muscles moving.

So this New Year, try and put a little health into your routine and start feeling great!

Doesn’t it seem just like yesterday the modern world was fussing and fretting over Y2K fears? Well, it has remarkably been a decade since that point and furthermore the end of the first decade in the new Millennium.  Look how far humanity has come in a mere decade with world shattering headlines and events that have come to define us. 
Technology has also changed a fair bit.  We have gone from huge cell phones, VHS tapes and dial-up modems to sleek compact phones, DVD’s and high speed wireless respectively. Yes, the first decade has ushered in tons of new-fangled creations for personal and business use; here are some of the most notable that touch upon the spectrum of business as well as our personal lives.
Social Networking Sites: Yes,  Facebook, Twitter and its cousin MySpace started out for the Generation “X” and “Y” crowd, but now with even Baby Boomers and beyond connecting. Now with  LinkedIn in tow providing more professional connections people have put their personal and professional lives on the internet for friends and co-workers to see. LinkedIn has increasingly become the winner in the race for courting business people. 
You Tube: This could have been a one trick pony, but this video posting site has braved its infancy and is well into its toddler years. True, it started out with mostly small scale clips and videos, but now it is a behemoth of entertainment, up and comers trying to get discovered and even businesses putting up videos to attract clientele, staff and buzz.
Cell Phone: Who would of thought ten years ago phones would come this far. Now with iphones and Blackberry devices cell phones have braved to a new generation, letting users text, tweet even surf the internet from their phone making life and business that much simpler.
So what will this new decade bring to people technologically? Only time will tell!
