Let's say that you want to become stronger—your goal could be to do at least one push-up a day. This week, think about a micro-habit you want to form, then break it down using this habit loop strategy. 1. Choose a cue Even micro-habits need something to help trigger them and the key is to be specific. You may decide to perform your push-up immediately after brushing your teeth each morning, or as soon as you close your laptop to grab lunch. 2. Try the behavior Once the cue occurs, test out your small action. Remember, this should feel super doable. Feel free to scale back your goal if you aimed too high. 3. Enjoy the reward By starting small, you’re setting yourself up for early success—and a boost in confidence. This makes it more likely that you’ll keep repeating the behavior...until you’re ready to add to it. Ten push-ups a day, here you come! Join WW for more stay-on-track strategies and 24/7 support. [Count me in!]( EAT WITH US Jackie London My portion-measuring hack Don't have measuring cups or a scale handy when tracking portions? Use tech gadgets as a guide instead. One portion of protein (chicken or fish, say) is roughly the same size as a standard iPhone, while one serving of potatoes or whole grains like brown rice is about the size of a desktop mouse. And when it comes to cheese and nuts, picture a wireless headphones case. That's roughly one serving size. —Jackie, RD, WW's head of nutrition and wellness [More hacks to make food tracking easier]( [weekly recipes] What’s for dinner?

Great idea! Runners, no matter what their speed, live three years longer on average than non-runners. And the calorie burn is helpful for weight loss. Use these tips and our 8-week walk-to-run plan, below, to make the switch. 1. Start slow As you settle into a running routine, don’t jog any faster than you can quickly walk. Speed is the last thing you should worry about when starting out. You’ll build up to that as you gain more endurance. 2. Record your runs Research shows that tracking workouts can help people stick to their fitness intentions. Give yourself a gold star on your wall calendar, or try an app to track your progress. Some runner faves: Strava, Runkeeper, and MapMyRun. 3. Sign up for a race Committing to a 5k or another event—even before you go out for your first run—can be great motivation to keep at it. And these days, you can reach the finish line while social distancing thanks to virtual races that you can do on your own time (and of course, at your own pace!).

Luckily, the fruit freezes beautifully. Simply rinse fresh cherries in cold water and drain. Then pack them into a plastic freezer bag or freezer-safe container, squeezing lightly to remove excess air, and freeze. There's no need to remove stems or pits until later when you defrost them for use in your favorite recipe.
