How I did it: I googled it and found out where the recycling centers were around me. I also bought 2 big bags to collect paper and plastic (aluminum and glass too) in so that I don't through that kind of stuff away. And then while walking my dog I noticed my own building recycles plastic and aluminum. I had know we could recycle paper here, but there was never any mention of the aluminum and plastic recycling in house. I has been really easy and I feel… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My husband really helped with this goal when he decided to start eating Paleo. The Paleo diet consists of fruit, veggies (except for potatos), nuts and lean protein. As a result I started cooking Paleo dinners, which was the easiest part b/c I just substituted any starch for extra servings of salad or veggies. After doing this for a little while I read The Paleo Diet and decided to start eating lunch and breakfast Paleo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I filled out a profile on the volunteermatch.org website and the website gave me options from there... I am now volunteering at a women's shelter regularly... Read how I did it…
I am failing at this. I am exhausted and can’t point to what I am even accomplishing for all of this running around. I just want to crawl into bed a sleep for a month. Maybe if I did that I would be able to beat this cold once and for all.
I always feel tempted to mark this as completed again, but it is likely too soon. I have stopped drinking dc for the last few days. Before that I was totally on a binge having at least 20 ounces a day for the last two or three months with a spurt of no dc for like 24 or 48 hours sprinkled in there every two-ish weeks. (So woo whooo three days!!!) Three days is a big deal when you were drinking as much as I have been for the last six years. Before starting to quit about 18 month ago, I was drinking darn near 100 ounces a day. That cannot have been good for me.
We have kept the dc out of the house for the last year at least and I am serious about stopping this once and for all. I have had a caffeine withdrawal headache for the last three days and do not want to have suffered in vain. I will be done with this. Soda is keeping me from reaching my weight loss goals.
I don’t know about the top third, it is possible but I really screwed up Fall of 2008, BUT I have done enough pro bono hours to get the highest distinction for my degree!! I am excited to have reached this milestone even before my third year begins.
