How I did it: I joined a gym. I have been going at least 3 days a week for six months, so I consider this a habit now. I will continue to go for as long as I am able hopefully! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was able to do it just by following the recommendations! I started with the diet recommendations. I than started trying to sleep on a regular basis, and finally added in the exercise. I feel so much better than I did! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was working evening shift in the hospital, than went to nights for more money, and than started bouncing shifts. I felt like I was never getting enough sleep!

It also doesn’t include the meals I have deducted from my check at the hospital cafeteria. That’s awful!! I been trying to eat out less this month, and so far I think I’m doing a good job. I can’t wait to see my next billing statement.
