once upon a time, I decided it was time to make Good Habits\u2122, because I am 22 and if I don\u2019t start now, I\u2019ll never actually do it.<\/p>\n

WOOOOO just looked through my entire Tumblr feed to find this again.<\/p>\n

so, how am I doing?<\/p>\n

1. Drink More Water.<\/strong>\u00a0oooops. not so much. I\u2019ve been better at staying hydrated than I used to be, but I\u2019m definitely not in the 64 oz-per-day range at all.\u00a0Solution<\/em>: start using my water bottle again. it needs another rinse-out before I feel safe doing so, but that\u2019s easy. SO: four of those per day. that\u2019s doable.<\/p>\n

2. Do Physical Shit.<\/strong>\u00a0since I moved, I\u2019ve been slacking on this, but prior to the last two weeks I was doing very well on this. I was running at least once or twice a week and doing 20-30 minutes of yoga at least twice if not three times per week. and I was feeling great! now that my entire home office is a bed, I really need to stay on this.Solution<\/em>: find some easy lunchtime workouts to supplement what I do at home, in case I can\u2019t get to my exercise every day I\u2019d like to.<\/p>\n

3. Eat More Fruit.<\/strong>\u00a0infinitely better! Jake\u2019s mom is fantastic about making me take fruit to work every day, and it\u2019s always available for a snack, so I\u2019m getting in at least one piece of fruit every day.<\/p>\n

4. Portion Control.<\/strong>\u00a0not terrible, but not fantastic. if we eat out, I usually end up with some leftovers to take home, so I guess my stomach is controlling me in that sense\u2026but then I end up eating it later. and I snack a lot. I could try to justify to myself that I\u2019m doing that six small meals deal, but really that\u2019s a lie.\u00a0Solution<\/em>: don\u2019t always eat when Jake does, and try to choose healthy or \u201ctide me over\u201d snacks when I do feel hungry.<\/p>\n

5. Multivamins.<\/strong>\u00a0damn, I\u2019ve completely neglected this one. the sad thing is that I remember them every time I\u2019m getting ready, and then I think, \u201cnahhh, ew, don\u2019t want to do that,\u201d and then I forget.\u00a0Solution:<\/em>\u00a0take multivitamins to work with me so I have no excuse.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/strong>: I\u2019m taking a little better care of myself, but I want to be a lot further along than I am. I\u2019ll be tackling a couple of these over the next few months, and I\u2019ll check back in then. *salute*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
