Special checklist for your kitchen

Beyond the fridge and the pantry, a healthy kitchen involves a number of other items and a lot of smart organization. See how many of these you have right now, and then see how you can slowly add more over time:

1. Pictures of your goal on the fridge
2. Healthy cookbooks
3. Very visible grocery list
4. Coupon envelope or storage system
5. NO pizza coupons
6. Easy-to-read and categorized recipe box or book
7. Full set of measuring cups and spoons
8. NO television in the kitchen or eating area (distractions can cause overeating)
9. Usable kitchen table-free of clutter, bills, book bags, and projects
10. Spice rack and spices
11. Water filter
12. Snack bowl on the counter, for all of those fresh fruits and healthy snacks you'll have

These are just a few tips to help you stay on track with your healthy living goals.
