Sporty: 5 Ways to Make Bad Habits Into Good Ones

From an email article:

1. Bring A Water Bottle To Work

Keep a water bottle on your desk and make sure you drink it before you leave for the day.

2. Keep a variety of fruit that's ready to eat

One of the primary reasons people don't eat enough fruit is simply because they don't have any. By keeping a basket of fresh, ready to eat fruit (such as bananas, apples, pears, etc) on your kitchen counter you'll get a reminder everytime you walk by it and you'll have a healthy alternative to snacks high in fat and sugar.

3. Exercise

Go for a walk around your neighborhood after dinner. Even a 15 minute stroll can make a difference in your health. Try this one and you'll like it so much you'll wonder why you didn't do this before.

4. At dinner-time replace some of the rice/pasta/potatoes with vegetables.

Some great alternatives are green beans, peas, cucumbers or a small salad

5. Have A Grab & Go Breakfast.

Eating breakfast is extremely important when trying to lose weight. Many people skip breakfast only to end up overeating at lunch and/or dinner. Keep some bagels with cream cheese ready to go in your fridge so you can grab one and eat it on your way to the office if your short on time. Or, try some yogurt with fresh fruit and granola. Both of these can be made ahead of time so all you have to do is grab it and go.
