10. Waste less!
Doing your part for the environment can give you great purpose when
you commit to it. Always keep reusable bags in the car in case you
decide to stop at the store on your way home, turn off the water while
you brush your teeth, and hey, the less processed foods you eat, the
less in your trash!
Sometimes the only thing standing between you and your best health is
your priorities. Resolve to take care of your emotional and spiritual
self. Happy people tend to have no battles in their diet. They listen to
what their bodies tell them about what and how much they need. Maybe
you'll drop some pounds, or maybe you'll realize that you’re beautiful
just the way you are. Start from within.
***i could work on wasting less :)
no need to turn off the water when brushing my teeth as i do that in the shower when rinsing my hair :)
i was diagnosed on 11/5/2008 with type 2 diabetes ... a daily struggle to keep sugars under control, exercise, cook, clean, work ... UGHHHHHHHHHHH 1 day at a time!

Getting healthy - 9
9. Go outside more.
Last winter, while feeling a bit restless, I went to a psychic and, while she may have been mostly bogus, she told me that it was my assignment for the next three days to walk on the beach with my bare feet in the sand for an hour. The chilly weather had me holing up inside and thinking lots of negative thoughts. So I bundled up and realized I could get warm if I just got moving! The fresh ocean air and gentle exercise was just what I needed. Maybe she could see the future.
***GET MOVING put the excuse book down and find away you will feel better

Getting Healthy - 8
8. Be early more.
Being habitually late is not a good quality to have. It reflects several other unbecoming qualities: lack of self-discipline, organization, and even common sense. Resolve to set your alarm eight minutes earlier, or set your clocks ahead. Think about how good it will feel to arrive places with enough time to settle in.
***work in progress early not there the minute it starts or 5 min late :(
I CAN DO THIS!!!

7. Separate from your phone more.
I am so guilty of checking email as I’m walking down the street, as if walking were just too simple a task. Take in the fresh air and your surroundings instead of looking down at that little screen all the time. Leave your phone away from you when you are involved in a task such as dinner at a restaurant, in a meeting, in class, or — god forbid — sleeping!
***put it down and hit a trail .,, FELT GOOD

6. Forgive yourself more.
Have you ever eaten two slices of cake and told yourself you'll definitely start a juice cleanse on Monday morning, only to realize you're hungry for breakfast Monday morning? Stop making drastic promises! You're setting yourself up for failure and habitually doing this is a vicious cycle. Sometimes I’ll dwell on what seemed like an awkward social interaction I had with someone. Look, its all said and done, just bounce back and move on!
***small steps work short goals make the big goal doable :)
i never promise myself anything because i can't keep too it but i have been able to see a change just a small one like 9 pounds gone over 2 weeks last week i was sick but today is a new week so i pick myself up and hit the trail again.
