If you've been reading my blog, you know I've been on a mission to get healthy. While I posted some of my tips in an earlier entry, I have been jotting down several more to share with you here. 

- If you feel yourself gaining weight, don't buy bigger clothes! Especially don't buy bigger pants. If you want to stay at your current weight (or lose), you want to feel the tightness of your clothes and that weight every single day. Use the discomfort to remind yourself that you've gained a few and you need to drop 'em. 

- Buy cute work-out clothes. You want to encourage yourself feeling and looking good - especially when you're at the gym. Plus you need to make sure that you have enough work-out clothes so that you never use "dirty work-out clothes" as an excuse for not working out. 

I really, really love the clothes from Athleta, Lucy, Title Nine, and Under Armour. I also mix these up with inexpensive pieces that I buy from TJ Maxx or Marshalls. 

Oh, also load up on socks. You don't want to run out of these either. 

I may need to buy this 2-Layer Support Tee from Athleta.  

-  My latest food discovery is Greek Yogurt. I buy the Fage fat-free variety. It's so thick and perfectly yummy. I use it mostly as a substitute for sour cream (which I adore) and to creamy up recipes. I add it to pasta sauces and soups instead of adding cream or cheese. I also love making a fruit sundae with it. Delish! The best part is that it's incredibly low calorie and high protein.

I am intrigued by the Greek Yogurt factoid you presented today: supplementing in place of cream in pasta sauces. I am going to have to try this...
