Great response. Reframing was elegant. Aptly reframed. Actually a ttempt at humor as don’t use that phrase or word “diet.” Appreciate your contribution to health and building community!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Maureen. Your workshop/doughnut example is classic. Perhaps, someday, instead of telling ourselves we “gave in to temptation,” we can acknowledge that we “aligned with our environment.”

To my delight, some work teams have made plans to host office potlucks featuring recipes from Paychex Gets Cooking. We plan on promoting a companywide Paychex Gets Cooking potluck day later this year.

When I attend workshops for my CEU’s doughnuts are the offering and tho would not be on my list, I must admit I give in to temptation.
Congrats on promoting alternatives and innovation for companies to follow such as the cookbook. Have employees tried to use the recipes together? Adds fun and community bonding.
Thank you for introducing creative ways to be healthy!

I am on the Wellness Committee at my place of employment, and was trying to brainstorm ideas that would get employees involved and give them a sense of more personal engagement that went beyond just seeing who could get the most steps on their FitBit. The cookbook idea was one of my favorites, and hearing how well it worked for you just inspires me to make this happen even more! Thank you.
