I'm doing 40 things
I’ve basically given up soda and replaced it with water. I now typically drink 32 ounces (2 16 oz. bottles) of bottled water a day so I’m halfway there. Days I work out, it’s usually 40 ounces of H2O.

We did eat peas and carrots today with our Chicken Helper. :)
And had some peas in the Helper itself. I guess that’s something.
I still wish I had accomplished the house goal this way but we ended up getting a zero down 30 year fixed home loan. Luckily, despite a rough economy and a 6 month bout of unemployment, we’ve been able to re-fi twice and maintain the home. Just got a new job and things are looking up so I think as long as the economy doesn’t get any WORSE and I can stay where I am we’ll be in this house for the rest of our lives.
