How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I gave TV up for Lent, my niece gave me the idea, she also gave up tv fo rLent. So I just sopped - cold turkey! I miss my showsm but I was watching way too much. This should help me cut back on my TV habit for good, I hope. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy &healthy
How I did it: I switched dentists because my previous dentist didn't get coverd by my insurance, and it hurt a lot, even the cleanings hurt. the new dentist is really nice and doesn't hurt at all.My teenagers went first for cleanings and they said it was fine so I went next, now gotta get my husband there!

It made me
How I did it: I just bought a journal on sale and use it for my 5 things only. Then each night before bed I write them down. If I am too tired, I do it the next day - don't give up if you skip a day, it's for you not against you. Read how I did it…

I was apprehensive about trying Indian food, but several years ago, one of my clients owned an Indian restaurant and invited me to lunch at his restaurant to discuss business. I decided to start out with vegetarian items first. The peas and potatoes are so good! So is naan, the bread. Samosas are good too – they are little meat pies – either beef or chicken. i also cook come curries at home now. Whole foods has an excellent slow cooker vegetarian recipe – my dinner guests and my husband rave over it – tastes and smells so good!!
