[Case of the Mondays](
We totally get it--weekends are relaxing and spontaneous and all-around great. But if you work, chances are you're spending a lot of time at your ''second home'', too, so why dread it every time Monday comes back around?

[From the desk of: Alicia Capetillo, Editor-in-Chief SparkPeople](
For most, we're very tied to our routine. I'm as type-A as they come, for example, which means I live and die by my routine. But routines are also there to keep us in line. To grow and change, we have to break free of our routine. This doesn't mean quitting your job and fleeing to Japan or dropping your entire social calendar in exchange for an unlimited gym membership, but it does mean looking for ways to disrupt your routine and to continue evolving. After three years of HIIT and yoga, I felt myself wanting a new challenge for my body and brain. After talking with my fiance about his passion for boxing, I decided to sign up for some personal training lessons. Four months later, I'm completely obsessed. It's a different kind of training that forces me to think through each move and react to another person's action. It's made me stronger, both mentally and physically, and if I hadn't left my box I never would have discovered this new passion. This week, I challenge you to do something outside your regularly scheduled routine and see how you feel!
[Germs, Germs Everywhere!](
On your keyboard and on the doorknob and on your desk, oh my! Yes, germs lurk everywhere, especially in shared spaces such as offices. Before you grab that industrial size antibacterial bottle, though, educate yourself on the places germs hide most often and learn how you can be smarter about cleaning and navigating your office without exposing yourself to germs.

[Brinner Time](

Breakfasts are packed full of nutrients you need to keep you satiated and happy--with these tips, breakfast for dinner might become your favorite meal of the day.

[Don't Break the Budget](
There's a myth going around that must be squashed. Many people believe that eating healthy costs significantly more than eating unhealthy--and it's simply not true. Yes, you can grab a dollar burger off the drive-thru menu for less than a salad, but it is possible to shop smart and eat healthy without going broke. I promise. These tips will help you be a more savvy shopper and a healthier chef in no time.
