How I did it
How to eat healthier
It took me
6 months
It made me
feel great

How I did it: I started with just a few things.  Eating fruit or low-fat ice cream for dessert instead of ice cream.   Adding more vegetables to my diet.   Cutting back on red meat and adding chicken and fish, and yes, even a vegetarian meal or two.   I am also using olive oil for some of my fat intake.   I measure my fats and fatty foods carefully now, because they are my weakness.  It's easy for … Read how I did it…

How to organize my ipod
It took me
6 months
It made me
organized

How I did it: First I came up with some playlists. Okay, a LOT of playlists.   I have some strange ones, such as "Things that make you go Hm" as well as normal ones like "Favorites".  I also had several specific playlists for workouts.  After I got done organizing my songs, I decided to go through my iPod, and listen to all of them to get rid of anything I didn't like, or didn't record right.   That part too… Read how I did it…

How to lose 20 pounds
It took me
50 days
It made me
happy

How I did it: Ate sensibly, kept track of what I ate, exercised every single day.   I am not on any specific diet, just eating better and healthier.   More fruits and veggies and lean meat, and no junk food.   I can HAVE it, if I want it, but I don't.   Read how I did it…

go to the doctors (read all 2 entries…)
I have appointments! 1 week ago

I finally made appointments to go see all my doctors. The smashers, the eye doctor, the regular doctor and the girlie doctor. All within two weeks. I am actually looking forward to it just a little bit, the getting it over part.
I am WAY overdue on all of them. It’s time.

Changing my Schedule 1 week ago

I am actually changing my work schedule. Classes are usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays, and I work late those nights. So, after 16 years, I’m dropping one of my late nights and hopefully working Tuesdays instead. I am thinking when my co-worker retires I will take over Monday…that would be cool….

Watch at least 10 movies this year (read all 2 entries…)
No movies yet! 1 week ago

So, I’ve watched ZERO movies so far this year, in the theater OR on DVD! I better get going, or I won’t make my goal! We just got UP on DVD last night, and Ken got me Wolverine a month or so ago (the man does indulge my Hugh Jackman addiction, heheh) so I have two to watch right now.

I am so bad about watching movies. :P I really do get bored about half way through and want to go do something else. Spoiled for movies by the tivo and computer age…
