HEALTH

Reward yourself

All you need is a little motivation. Set up milestones to help you meet your goal. Trying to lose a minute off your mile time? Every time you drop 15 seconds, take yourself out for a treat (maybe buy that cute tote you’ve been ogling).

You would be amazed how much energy you will gain from just a little bit of water. Not to mention a completely clear complexion…

Give yourself something to be proud of. Don’t let everything be easy and work hard to succeed. So when you look back on the year, you realize you accomplished everything you wanted to.

Take your health a priority, so cut down on sugary sweets and load up on fruits and veggies.

You want to look and feel your best year round. Exercise will improve your mood, appearance, and immune system while giving you a boost of energy. And we could all use a little bit of that.

You’re more likely to get them done if you let your friends know what you’re working for. Plus you’ll have someone to celebrate with when you succeed.

Don’t miss out on anything because you’re sick. Hand sanitizer kills 99.9 percent of germs, reducing your chances of catching a bug.

We can’t miss an episode of Pretty Little Liars, either, but limit your time on the couch to an hour a day. With all your extra time you can hang with friends, work out and study.

Sign up for a 5k and maybe an open water swim this summer with some gal pals. They’re so much fun that you won’t forget it (and you will have to work out to prepare for them).

Try something new

It’s time to make some changes! Try out a new sport, perhaps squash? Mix up your routine: rollerblade instead of run for your cardio. You might find something you love and the more you love it, the more you’ll want to do it.
