Can you prepare healthy food ahead of time? Make a big pot of noodles, fajita veggies, chicken breast, etc so healthy dinner is just something you toss in the microwave? We've started doing that and it's really making a difference in my health. I cut out almost all the MSG and aspartame and that's helped too.
Can you have a container garden with a few fresh herbs? Maybe grow sprouts in the kitchen window? Go to farmers' markets? (There are several around S. CA. - great date as well as good ingredients.)
Interesting story about your army time. What I meant was just that it might help your gal to understand that you miss being in shape, you want to get a little more disciplined but you don't need a new drill sergeant in your life!
Anyway, have you had a chance to talk with her about all this yet? We can advise you on the forum all day, but the real question is how she responds to your goals.
