Daily Tips: Thursday July 7, 2005

Health and Diet
Reward yourself! Small changes add up -- and a reinforced habit is more likely to stick! So, go for a non-food reward to celebrate your success. Perhaps a new book, a good movie, a trip to the beach, new clothes or a manicure. Give yourself a special treat each time you reach a small goal. It will give you even more incentive to stay motivated.

Fitness
For those whose weekly routine involves leaving an apartment to take the elevator to the garage to drive to work and get back into an elevator to go to the 18th hermetically sealed floor of an office building for five days straight, it may be helpful to find some dirt to stand on during the weekends. Try taking up hiking as a weekend sporting activity.
