Dust off those walking shoes, get out the garden gloves and tune-up your bicycle because warmer weather has finally arrived. With longer days and spring produce starting to fill supermarket shelves, it's a perfect time to find new motivation to move more and eat more healthfully and the Comfort Food Diet is there to help. Use garden-fresh carrots and asparagus in Spring Vegetable Quiche, berries in Blueberry French Toast and Sweet 'n' Sour Pork Chops are done in 25 minutes so you can spend more time outdoors.

Spring is here, which means it's time for cleaning up and clearing out. If a pantry overhaul is next on your to-do list, use this healthy pantry checklist (pdf) to get it back in shape. Having the right foods at your fingertips makes it easier to make a home-cooked meal instead of stopping for take-out on the way home. |

Even if you're short on time, fitting in a few stretches each day is an important part of staying fit. Stretching helps build flexibility and can reduce stress, ease back pain and improve posture. Plus, staying limber helps improve range of motion and may prevent injuries, which keeps your fitness routine from getting sidelined. |

Build goals into your journal by writing 'successes' into future entries. Aiming to walk a charity 5K this summer? Write it down in your journal on the date of the walk. Add smaller goals along the way to make sure you are staying on track. |

"This is how I make a delicious and light homemade latte: combine hot coffee with 2-3 squirts of Torani sugar-free syrup of your choice then top with frothed milk. I use about 2 tablespoons of fat-free milk and my battery-operated frother, which I got at Cost Plus World Market."
