Nutrition: Tools for Healthy Cooking

Eating healthy is work, isn't it?  I mean, you have to do all this cooking and stuff.  There are some essentials you should have in your kitchen if you're going to eat healthy and this site shows you a few basics. At the very least, you'll want a steamer but my absolute favorite is the George Foreman grill. You can cook just about anything on that sucker in minutes--and it's non-stick, too. If you don't have one, I highly recommend you make this purchase as soon as you possibly can.

Motivation

When you first started this program, you spent some time setting goals for yourself. Goals are what can keep you going, even when you want to quit. One motivator is training for a race of some kind. A 5K is a great place to start, if you've never raced--the distance is short and most races offer walks AND runs so you can choose how you want to race. One of the most well-known 5K races is Race for the Cure which is held all over the country and helps contribute funds to study and cure breast cancer. For more 5K races in your area, check out Active.com and sign up!
