But at one point in your life, it wasn’t second nature. So what happened? You created a habit loop! Check out the play-by-play below, and use it to adopt a new healthy habit. Step 1: Choose a behavior Pick a habit you want to develop. Doable, quick behaviors (like brushing your teeth) are most effective for creating habits, so choose a simple action you can do each day that takes fewer than five minutes. Step 2: Pick a cue Pinpoint something in your usual routine that will trigger the behavior, the way putting on PJs triggers you to brush your teeth. Step 3: ID the reward This is what makes the behavior worth repeating! Your reward can be emotional of physical. For toothbrushing, maybe it’s having fresh breath, or the satisfaction of taking care of yourself. Now, put it all together: Let's say you want to do 10 pushups every day. You might pick turning on your TV at night as the cue. Every evening, when you turn on your favorite show, you’ll hit pause and drop to do 10 pushups. The reward? Feeling accomplished! It’s this loop of cue-to-reward that creates a habit. And the sooner you experience the reward, the more likely you are to return to those push-ups! Join WW for more stay-on-track strategies and 24/7 support. [Count me in!]( EAT WITH US Leslie Fink My easy family breakfast hack “Serving up omelettes for the entire family? Forget the skillet; a 13 x 9-inch rimmed sheet pan is your secret weapon when feeding a household (and will keep you from having to work the stove like a short-order cook). Try this: Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly coat sheet pan with nonstick spray. Whisk together 10 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and a few good pinches of salt and pepper. Carefully pour the mixture onto prepared sheet pan and sprinkle with whatever raw, chopped veggies you like. Bake until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with thinly sliced scallion greens and shredded cheese, cut into squares, and serve.” —Leslie, WW nutritionist and recipe editor [Get more egg hacks]( [weekly recipes] Last-minute Memorial Day ideas Celebrate the holiday with these summery eats.

Absolutely. At this point, even committed walkers may be falling short of their steps goals, and that's totally OK. Here, three reasons not to be hard on yourself—and some proactive ideas to consider instead. 1. Any amount of walking helps If you’ve worked hard to establish a healthy walking routine, you might be concerned that you’re backtracking these days. But the truth is any walking at all keeps the habit alive. As long as you’re getting in some steps, you won’t go back to square one. 2. Longer walks aren't the only option You might not be able to rack up 5,000 steps in a single, continuous session, but can you putter around the yard for a while? Rearrange a room? Stream a quick cardio workout from your laptop? Those smaller bursts can have big health payoffs. 3. It's OK to change your goal If your morning walks have been upended by, say, homeschooling your kids, aim for a family walk twice a week during everyone’s lunch break instead. Or if you’re taking 3,000 steps a day—down from your usual 10,000—add 10 flights of stairs to the mix. Setting achievable goals within your present reality can motivate you and provide a sense of control. [Learn more]( trending on INSTAGRAM More pancakes, please!

But if you want to prep fresh artichokes for a recipe, follow these steps: Rinse the artichokes, trim the woody, dried-out ends of the stems, and peel the remaining stems with a vegetable peeler. Put each artichoke on its side on a cutting board and slice off the top inch or so of the flower to remove the uppermost "thorns." Use a pair of kitchen shears to cut off the thorny ends of the remaining outer leaves, then cook as directed.
