1. Make 5 goals - 5 things you want to do by the end of the month. Be reasonable with them and keep the list somewhere you’ll remember. Chances are you won’t lose 20 lbs by the end of the month, so skip it as a goal. Instead focus your goals around getting more active and healthy. Everyday try to make one better choice like taking the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator or having an apply for snack even though you’re dying to have the slice of pie. All these little changes will really add up. If you don’t already have an exercise you do regularly…
2. Try out a new exercise - Switching up your exercise routine is important, especially if you’re hitting a plateau. Curious about an exercise you’ve been eyeing for awhile? YouTube that shit. Read about it on Google. DO IT. Why not? Try to exercise at least 2-3 days a week this month.
3. Eat fruit! - Only the most delicious fruits are in season in June. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, watermelon, rhubarb, cherries and so much more! Not only is fruit good for you, but in season you can find some great deals on it! Check out your local farmer’s market for freshly grown produce at great prices.
4. GET OUTSIDE!! - IT’S JUNE, what could you possibly doing inside?! (besides Tumblr;) ) Swim, hike, bike, walk, skip. Do it all. Play basketball at that old court down the road, ride your bike to work. The sun is shining and there is no better time to get active and have fun.

Follow these tips throughout the month of June and you’d be surprised how easily healthy habits begin to develop.

Reward yourself with things that don’t involve food! (“You are not a dog”).

By rewarding yourself with food, you condition yourself to think of food as a treat. The thing is, food is FUEL. The purpose of eating is to feed the body the nutrients it needs to function and survive.

Choose rewards like a trip to the beach, a massage, new running shoes, a movie night with your significant other, a shopping date with friends, a bubble bath, a mani/pedi, a vacation somewhere fun…. get creative!

I’m doing better with this, though I still reward myself with Qdoba once in a while. Perhaps it’s becoming less of a reward and more of a treat, though. Hmmm…
