Article: Even the most disciplined people sometimes slip out of their routine. Thinking about the things that contribute to your routine breaking down can help you get back on track.  Reevaluate the obstacles and distractions that consistently get in the way. Recognize the consequences of not keeping your routine (frustration, tardiness) to kickstart your motivation. Finding ways to maintain your motivation can help you stick with your routine.  Have your favorite morning beverage and make it extra special on certain days, whether that be high-quality coffee or a homemade smoothie. Schedule an extra time slot for quiet and solitude if that’s your favorite part of a morning routine. Use motivational notes or messages to remind you of your progress. Consider the benefits of your routine and how good they make you feel. You may feel as if you’ve lost time doing things you need or enjoy due to your morning routine. It’s important to recognize this and find solutions so the loss doesn’t affect your motivation.  Go to sleep earlier if sleep loss is making you tired. Make extra effort to spend time with anyone who may feel neglected as a result of your morning routine. Whether it be in writing or on your electronic device, a visual record of your routine can keep you motivated to stick to it.  Keep track of when you started so you can see your progress. Log your routine daily, weekly, and monthly. Find someone in your life who also needs a morning routine or already has one and successfully sticks with it.  Ask them for their best tips on keeping on track. Touch base with your buddy every week about your mutual progress and cheer each other on.

Article: Write down everything you eat throughout the day, then go through your diary at the end of the week and get nutrition information for the foods you ate. You can total the calories you ate each day and figure out how to improve your diet and make healthier choices. The USDA has an online food tracker available at https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/. You can create an account for free and enter your personal information to get a customized nutrition guide with sample meals. The tracker also allows you to look up the nutritional information for more than 8,000 different foods. Balanced meals give you all the nutrients you need to help you stay fit. Choose lean protein, whole-grain breads and pastas, and plenty of fruits and vegetables with every meal.  The easiest way to make sure your meals are balanced is to eat a rainbow of foods at every meal. Mix it up with blue or red berries, which are high in anti-oxidants, and add greens like spinach and kale. Round out a salad with red and yellow peppers. Beans and peas are good vegetable sources of protein. You can still eat healthy even if you have limited time or energy to cook. On weekends or when you have a day off, cook 6 to 8 servings of something healthy and simple that you enjoy eating. Save the extra servings to eat throughout the next week.  If you don't have much experience cooking, search for simple recipes online or get a cookbook for beginners with recipes that only require 3 or 4 ingredients. You can always add to them as you get more proficient. Try to learn 4 or 5 recipes that you can cook quickly and easily. Always having healthy meals ready will help you resist the urge to order takeout or get fast food if you're hungry and don't feel like cooking. If you find yourself idly reaching for potato chips or cookies, try slicing some cucumbers, carrots and celery to have on hand when you want something to munch on.  Nuts, raisins, and fruit are also nutritious snacks that can help stave off hunger between meals. If you're prone to having late-night snacks, try brushing your teeth after dinner. Your mouth will feel clean and it may help remove that temptation. You could also do an activity that keeps you away from food, such as taking a long bath, playing a board game, or engaging in a hobby. As long as you don't have any joint problems, skip elevators and take the stairs to reach higher floors. Stair climbing is one of the most intense exercises you can do, and you'll burn significant calories as well as improving your cardiovascular strength. Pace yourself if you're going up several flights of stairs, so you aren't winded and sweaty by the time you reach your destination. If you've just got one short flight of stairs, on the other hand, try running up them as fast as you can. Having 8 to 10 glasses of water a day will keep you well-hydrated, which is essential for your overall health and fitness. Keep a water bottle with you at all times, and limit your consumption of coffee and tea, which can be dehydrating. If you want to drink fruit juice, choose a juice with no added sugar.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start a food diary to keep track of what you eat. Eat at least 3 well-balanced meals a day. Cook large meals on your day off. Keep healthy snacks available at all times. Take the stairs whenever possible. Drink water instead of soft drinks.
Article: Sites like Amazon, Cell Phone City and Gazelle usually offer pretty good deals on used or refurbished iPads. There isn't a chance to haggle, but there may be no need if the price is right. Fixed price websites often offer accessories with the iPad to sweeten the deal, when auction sites may not. So you may be getting more bang for your buck if you opt for a site like Amazon. The Apple Store offers refurbished and used iPads for customers on their website, here. Apple has rave reviews about how well their refurbished and used iPads work, but they can be a little more expensive than if you bought from another seller. If you buy through Apple and end up spending a little more money than you would have if you bought from another seller, you'll still be paying less than you would for a brand new iPad — and you'll be paying for quality. Since bidders are the ones who set the price for the iPad, this could give you the opportunity to purchase it for a great deal. The fewer people who bid on the iPad, the more likely you are to buy the iPad for less money. If you're really strapped for cash, this could be the best option. Whether you're picking up a used iPad from someone on Craig's List or if you're getting one at Best Buy, in-person purchases allow you to make sure the iPad is in good condition. Sometimes, you may even be able to haggle down the price if the seller is right in front of you and knows you're looking to buy.
