I love it!!! Such an awesome list and I totally agree with it…I use most of them myself. The only thing I would add to my own personal list are…
1. attending WW meetings and weighing in every week
2. exercising in the morning as much as possible (before work)
3. Tring new things (food and exercise)
4. Cooking as much of my own food as possible and freezing it when possible
5. keeping healthy snacks on hand….organization, organization!

So jealous of your home gym! although I know myself and dont think I'd have the dedication to workout at home the way you do.

I love this post! Just yesterday I was looking all over Walmart for storage containers and couldn't find any. They got remodeled and put in grocery, but they didn't enlarge the building so I think they got rid of a lot of stuff!
I have made tomato sauce and salsa from our tomato crop and need more containers because most of them are now in use for that! I think my family thinks I'm nuts for the number of storage containers I have.
P.S. W/ regard to Jackson Browne, we get to go backstage!! Our neighbor is a cousin of his mother and that's how the arrangements got made. Jackson is my husband's favorite artist of all time so he is totally thrilled and will be bringing an album to be signed.
