This post is just going to be an eclectic gathering of ideas I've had this week. They both are about health (obviously), but are otherwise unrelated.
Idea #1: find a buddy. I know I've touched on it before, but a buddy is good for motivation. People do better when their actions are being monitored by someone else. Your buddy doesn't even need to workout with you. To be honest, I really hate working out with a partner. I call it "I do what I want when I feel like it". Others call it stubborn. I just am not affected by being yelled at or cheered on. For the most part I'm in my own little bubble when I work out. It's ok if you are too. My version of a buddy is my mom saying "you know... that's your second brownie today. Cool it sister." It keeps me honest.
Idea #2: spaghetti squash. This miraculous gourd is quite possibly the best vegetable out there. It looks like angel hair pasta and tastes like pasta. It is also much better for you than pasta. Some people can do the whole wheat noodle thing. Not me. They are an abomination to the word noodle. Spaghetti squash is amazing because you cut it in half, bake it flesh side down for 40 minutes with a little olive oil and salt, then you can slather it in marinara sauce and it tastes exactly like spaghetti (the good kind).
