I'm doing 37 things
Did a bang-up job tonight
4 days ago
Made some granola and polished off old honey, unsalted sunflower seeds (what was I thinking?!), wheat germ, and oil. Yippee, this goal is going well, we are slowly but surely cleaning out.

How I did it
It made me
healthier. 
How I did it: Remembered the awful racing feeling of ODing on caffeine. Substituted herbal teas in the morning. That was most helpful. Am I totally off coffee? No. My in-laws get this beautiful smooth decaf in Ely, MN and I always partake. Occasionally I will have a fru-fru drink at a coffeeshop, I'm sure. But that is not a daily thing. The daily thing is done. Read how I did it…
It made me
pleased.
How I did it: Pestered a lot of people. I waited until I was done with my Master's to do the practica, so it was harder to communicate when I was no longer ever on campus. But I pestered enough people to get it planned. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel adult.
How I did it: Did the required payment for years, and then finally this was the next step of my snowball, and we were able to put $2000/month on it to finally kill them! Read how I did it…

Used my will power
5 days ago
I used my will power to pass on a dessert.
I had to remind myself that one of the ways I plan to try to do this goal is to limit myself to 1 dessert per day. I already had had two treats by the time I decided I would start working on this again and though it was hard, I did not have a dinner dessert. Luckily DH was nice and did not, either. That would have wrecked it for me.
I revisited my page on SparkPeople and have attracted a few comments. I am going to work on finding a racquetball partner and going to go to the two yoga classes I like. Will just have to make it a priority, no matter how hard it is to go back out of the house in the cold. It feels so good after class!
Have been working on this
5 days ago
but it’s time for it to go down the list, with winter coming on. We have added leaf mulch to all of the beds as well as the new beds we are creating. We have covered it with burlap to keep it from blowing away before the snow flies. And we have been getting my SIL’s organic wastes from her floral business to add to the beds. Next year will tell if our efforts paid off! We will continue to add wastes until we can’t get the burlap up anymore (because it’ll be under snow!).
