Drink more water
I accomplished this by buying a Brita water pitcher. I keep chilled water on hand. This works for me. It has to be good for me-right? Also, at restaurants I try to drink water, because it is free & good for me!
Cut down on Diet Coke
I have eliminated that wonderful afternoon diet Coke. I just decided that it could be the tipping point of causing those painful kidney stones. On a very rare occasion I will have a d.c. & then it is a big treat for me!
Organize a shelf or drawer a day
Once I get in the mood I usually organize more than a drawer or shelf, but it is less daunting to tackle one small specific place. If I break it into a quick project, then I tackle it.
Exercise
I should exercise several times a week. I have found that if I try just to exercise twice a week, I do better than having to exercise 5 times/week. Also, my goal is 20-30 minutes each time. I find that once I start to exercise, I will actually do more than 30 minutes.
I haven't tackled any big projects. I haven't made any big changes. But I am making progress. I feel more in control. I feel less depressed. I think the little changes are working for me. I will keep adding little changes. What little changes have you made & how have the changes helped you?

Great list! You can do it! I've been trying to get dressed to my shoes on most days. It's so easy as a mom to just wear sweats and cruddy jeans and get things done! I've pulled out the fun tights, skirts, and boots...and I feel better for it. It's become a uniform of sorts- even when I have nowhere to go.

this is all good stuff. We bought a water cooler a while back. I can't drink cold water..only room temp. for some reason. On my daily to do list I put I keep a running tab of how much H20 I'm drinking during the day. Now, the excercise is something I have to get better at! I'm not a soda drinker at all...wine..yes! Love the drawer a day too!! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteDiet Cokes and all soda leads to kidney stones so it's very good that you aren't drinking them. There are studies that show eating asparagus helps with stones. I'll have to look up specifically the name of it...it was called Medica something or the other and dates back to 1759.
