I’m finally in a good routine of drinking plenty of water throughout the day both at work and at home. Even though I’m not doing anything else differently right now, this is helping with my health because I don’t drink soda nearly as much when I’m guzzling the H2O.
The key for me is to have cold water readily available. It’s really tough for me to drink water at room temperature. Additionally, I’ve been taking some supplements that require you drink 8 oz of water, so I usually try and drink at least 20.

How I did it: The first thing I did in order to turn 33 was to be born. After that, I waited for 15 years. After that, I went ahead and waited 18 more years. Voila! And that's how I turned 33. The end. Any questions? Read how I did it…
How I did it: Not only was I part of a flash mob, I organized it! Twice a year, podcacher.com asks people around the world to put on a 15-minute geocaching event that is also a flash mob. Since Syracuse did not have one the last time around, I decided to organize a Syracuse-area WWFM (worldwide flash mob). It only took 15 minutes to perform, but about a month of preparation. For this flash mob, 48 geocachers gathered together at precisely 1:00 (the sam… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used the solver booklet that came with my Rubik's cube and combined that with a couple online sites. The key is to have a solving strategy (cross, corners, middle, cross, corners) and then memorize the turn combinations to accomplish each step.Now that I have learned it, it's sort of boring . . . but I can get over that by looking up faster, more efficient ways of solving the cube.

After a month of physical therapy, my son was cut from 2 times a week to just once weekly. He was released from going to physical therapy on February 24! It was so good and relieving to see him progressing so well and so quickly. It was also nice to see him doing so much better on the tests than he had just a few weeks before!
I have not only made the appointments but visited my doctor, dentist, and optometrist. This was my first physical in over 3 years, my first dentist visit in over 2 years, and my first optometrist visit in over 3 years. It’s good to finally have these things “out of the way” and “current” now!
