12. Plan Your Workout The Night Before
Some of us (ME) just aren't morning people. It's not easy being motivated when you're half asleep. This is why you should do everything you can the night before to make getting ready for your workout easier. Set aside everything you'll need (shorts, sports bra, shirt, socks, shoes, iPod, head phones, gym card, etc.) and put it all in one place for the morning. I even go as far as filling up my water bottle and storing it in the fridge the night before. You might even consider sleeping in your gym clothes sans the sports bra.
13. Put Leftovers Away Before You Eat
If you are like me and tend to go back for seconds even though you're not hungry, put away your leftovers before you sit down to eat. It's unlikely that you'll dig into the fridge for another bite, but if you have it sitting out on the counter it's hard to resist. Why tempt yourself?
14. Stretch While Watching TV
Stretching is the one thing that I always forget to do. ALWAYS. I have to set aside time and plan it, otherwise I neglect to do it. Unfortunately, you don't realize the importance of it until you get injured. And if you're injured, it's nearly impossible to stay active and lose weight. My solution to that is making stretching part of my TV time towards the end of the night. Get up during the commercials and make it a point to stretch until the end, and then repeat for the next.
