Get Organized-Reduce the Bail Out

Every Monday (when I’m truly organized it’s every Sunday) I take a look at my week and determine what my priorities for the week will be.  This week I will continue on my no spending plan which results in a better diet since it means meals at home and fewer distractions as it means the gym is an almost free opportunity to get out of the house, see friends and get in a great workout. 
Learn more about low cost healthful foods at sites such as www.cookinglight.com or www.realsimple.com .  Eating healthy does not inherently cost more money.  This evening I made spaghetti with 94% lean beef and extra veggies added to the sauce.  The result was at least 6 hearty servings of pasta with meat sauce for less than $10.  Diet minded mode turned the meal into 8 servings rather than 6 but both divisions meant a very low cost meal that was reasonable in calories and high in nutritional value. 
Tips for Reducing the Bail Out
1) Get your gym bag ready the night before or have several outfits (socks included) set out for the week.
2)  Set a time - be specific.  Some may find signing up for a class helpful.  Those that plan and complete their physical acitivity first thing in the day reportedly have higher rates of success.
3)  Pack your lunch.  I love leftovers for this very reason.  What was prepared for dinner becomes a packed lunch.  It's not as tiresome as eating the same food all week but gives us more results for our cooking time.
