Working hard or hardly working?

Stock up on frozen veggies and berries to have on hand when you might need them.
It's so much easier than having to remember to buy them fresh, and then also having to remember to cook them before they turn into gross smelly puddles of goo in the back of your refrigerator.
Toss your frozen berries into oatmeal or eat a few as a sweet dessert. And cook up your frozen veggies as side dishes, in stir fry, soups, and more.
Buy a season (or a series) of a very addictive TV show. Force yourself to watch it ONLY while you're running on the treadmill, using the elliptical, or pedaling a stationary bike.
This was a tip from the story 14 Former Couch Potatoes Share Their Best Tips For Getting In Shape. Try it with 24, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Pretty Little Liars, or Homeland... or any other show that'll keep you pretty riveted and desperate to find out what happens next.
Eat from small plates, bowls, cups, and jars to help manage your portion sizes.
Some research suggests that you'll have an easier time with portion sizes (and feeling good about limiting portion sizes) when you eat from smaller plates and bowls. Because when you have a small portion on a big plate, you feel like you're depriving yourself — but when that same portion takes up a lot of real estate on a smaller plate, you'll think you're eating more.
