Update and a few suggestions

Layla asked about keeping other people in your home from sabotaging the diet without meaning to. I sat down with my boyfriend and we both agreed we needed to start eating better. So far there hasn't been much complaining about what we make. My biggest problem is that I eat too many grains and so by dinner I'm often 'out' of them. We'll still make him rice to go with dinner, which I can't eat then, but enough so that we have leftovers for tomorrow.

Leftovers are the biggest thing helping me eat better though. I used to stop and grab food at the local food court which isn't always good for you. This way I can plan in advance what I'm eating and it's already made when I get up in the morning which is a big plus because I'm always running late.

On another note, I made a binder yesterday of a bunch of workouts. I get SELF, Shape and Fitness and each one comes with two or three workouts per issue. I had all my back issues, so I ripped out the workout pages, stuck them all in clear page covers and put them in a binder. That way I can flip through them until I come to something that looks interesting for the day and they are all in one place. I'm hoping because they are that much easier to reference that I'll be that much more likely to do them.

Still eating decently, going to try to workout some tonight from the new binder and generally enjoying the fact that the weather isn't totally nasty today.
