Not only can it help improve your mood during—and right after—your workout, but exercise can also make you happier in the long run. Whether you decide to walk, jog, or dance in the living room, take it at your own tempo. Science shows that your mood is more likely to improve if you’re not trying to keep up with a pace that’s been set by someone else (your running partner or an online workout instructor, say). You do you! Join WW for more stay-on-track strategies and 24/7 support. [Count me in!]( MINDSET CHECK-IN Megan Schreier My new stay-at-home rule “These days, instead of planning my schedule around what needs to get done, I identify two must-dos for taking care of myself. Then I organize the rest of my schedule around those activities. For example, yesterday I chose to go for an hour-long walk. The dishes were piling up in the sink, and in the past, I would have tackled them first (and maybe even missed my walk), but I prioritized my well-being and went on the stroll. The dishes can wait!” —Megan, Manager of Behavior Change at WW [More self-care strategies]( [weekly recipes] What’s for dinner? Getting tired of your go-to meals?

Good question! Sleep plays an important role in your weight-loss and wellness journey, so getting enough shut-eye should be a priority for everyone. Here's what you need to know. 1. Most adults should aim for seven to nine hours of sleep a night to feel their best. This does vary with age—the younger you are, the more zzz's you generally need. 2. Ask yourself some key questions to determine if you're getting enough sleep: Do you wake up feeling tired? Are you less productive than you'd like to be throughout the day? If you answer yes, you may need to get more winks. 3. Not sure how much sleep you typically get? Tracking it can help clue you in to your current patterns. Knowing how much sleep you get and when you’re getting it can show you what’s working—and what’s not—giving you the power to make healthy changes that improve your shut-eye. Keep an eye out for a new sleep-tracking feature on the WW app! [Learn more]( trending on connect #WWFreshStart Challenge It's week three of the Challenge! Let's do this!

First, prep the asparagus stalks by holding both ends and bending gently until the rigid lower part snaps off—discard those stems. Cut the asparagus diagonally into 1-inch pieces and boil or steam until just tender. Then add the asparagus to the still hot pasta along with a few spoonfuls of crumbled feta (or a little butter and freshly grated Parmesan). Toss to combine and enjoy!
