Answer 1

The answer is she considered her values and chose a healthy alternative instead.

Answer 2

She considered her values and chose a healthy alternative.

A decision-making process often involves taking some time to consider the available options to determine which route to take. In the process, it is common that people consider how choosing an option or another will affect them ("Is it against my values?" "How will I feel if I chose that and not this?" "Is it beneficial for me? How much?" "Does it have bad consequences? How many?").

Although the information given is too limited, we can infer that Mcarrie underwent this process. She saw the offer as a tempting one, however, she determined that it was the best to not accept it right away and instead take some time to think it through. Taking a walk often can help to consider our options and our values and decide what works best for us.
