Doughnuts CAN Be Good For An Office Snack

doughnut holesI can feel the pounds creeping up on me at work… and why is that? It’s because we’re always having doughnuts during meetings! And although they’re so delicious, I have to slow down on them. So then I started thinking of some other alternative snacks that we could possibly have during meetings, and guess what? Doughnuts are included! Here’s a few items that are considered best choice snacks while at work:

Banana Bread: 190 calories. It will take 53 minutes to walk it off.
Half-bagel: 120 calories. It will take 33 minutes to walk off.
Doughnut holes: 100 calories and will take 28 minutes to walk off.
Grapes: 58 calories and will take 16 minutes to walk off.

This was refreshing compared to some of the worst choices:

Cinnamon roll: 760 calories along with 211 minutes to walk it off.
Frosted cupcake: 360 calories and 100 minutes to walk it off.
Croissant: 272 calories and 75 minutes to walk it off.
Crème doughnut: 307 calories and 85 minutes to walk off.

So when the next meeting adjourns, recommend doughnut holes instead of a whole doughnut for snacks.

A Cup Of Coffee Goes A Long Way

coffee beanWhen you love something – paint with it instead of paint. WeirdWorm.com has an article on coffee artist Karen Eland, and her medium is indeed coffee. Bearing a strong resemblance to sepia tones photographs but with the soft texture of watercolors, her artwork is interesting, and frequently amusing. Go see her “Mona Latte” to see what I mean.

Is this woman’s work art, or do you think it’s something else?
