Chocolate or Exercise for Stress

Hi all, it's stress central in my house right now, my husband is trying to move jobs, who knew it could be so much hassle.  

Usually when I'm stressed out I'd be reaching for the chocolate.  Lots and lots of chocolate to help smother the stress.  In the short term it sure makes you feel better but it doesn't last long, and then 'OMG I've just eaten a giant bar of chocolate.'  

My husband on the other hand deals with stress quite differently.  After a hellish day yesterday he went out cycling, he says it makes him feel better.  So I gave it a try yesterday, popped Tom off to bed, Patrick out cycling and then did the Salsacise.  

I have to say it was hard going, and after it I mostly felt really tired but I did sleep really well which is something that normally gives me a problem when I'm stressed.  Even better there was no 'OMG I've just eaten a giant bar of chocolate' guilt.
