We’ve officially made it past financial quarter close and, for those in the U.S., the Fourth of July frenzy. Whether you’re easing back into work mode or still juggling half-days and summer Fridays, now’s the time to reset.

The good news? Staying on track doesn’t require a full-on life overhaul. These three low-lift, high-impact habits are helping me stay grounded, energized, and a little less scatterbrained in the summer haze.

This week’s theme: dark chocolate gelato, smarter sweat sessions, and inbox-level clarity.

Why I Always Eat This Before Dinner (And You Should Too)

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Eat your veggies first.” But how you eat them—and when—makes a huge difference. That’s the power of meal sequencing.

Meal sequencing is a simple but powerful strategy where you eat foods in a specific order to help with satiety, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. And in my daily routine, it’s become a game-changer for portion control, meal satisfaction, and food waste.

So, what’s my go-to move?
I start every major meal with The Big Salad.

Your Low-Cal Guide to Summer Starbucks Drinks

You know it’s summer when you start seeing pictures of the frothy, creamy, colorful Starbucks drinks pop up on the menu. 

What you might not know is that many of these favorites, even when not supersized, are the calorie and sugar equivalent of a large candy bar.
