How I did it
How to june fun: four servings of fruits or veggies each day for 2 weeks
It took me
16 days
It made me
beamingly healthier

How I did it: I found that three strategies particularly helped:- Fruit for breakfast, up to three servings on some days and I made sure to mix it up.  Strawberries some days, bananas on others.- Also incorporating at least one vegetable with lunch and then snacking on veggies, like mini carrots or snap peas- Buying organic, tasty fruits and veggies that appeal to me, like strawberries, snap peas, etc. Read how I did it…

A Big Bright Weekend - Living to Come Alive 21 hours ago

So last night, I was tense after all the good times that my sweetie and I had together (dinner, shopping & snuggling) so I ended up drinking too much gin. I’m fine this morning, so I took it as a chance to start a good day. I’ve already

  • Taken my car to the mechanic for regular maintenance
  • Walked home from the mechanic’s shop (about 2 miles)
  • Cooked a delicious breakfast – chocolate, banana pancakes
  • Finished my critical review of 2 articles
  • Neatened up the kitchen

My goals for today are to:

  • Complete critical review of 5 more articles
  • Review & as necessary print the additional articles I’ve found reviewing the literature
  • Complete 2 more cleaning chores
  • Go with my sweetie to the kilt store
  • Encourage my sweetie to do 2 more cleaning chores
  • Read/relax for at least an hour
