If you haven’t noticed I’ve totally slacked on my daily get healthy journal. Life happens right. No excuses – just didn’t do it. Not that I don’t care. I do. It’s a life or death situation. For me life just got in the way of making changes.
Tonight I was talking with my insanely talented friend about making changes. My kids have been sick for a while and I really think that a better diet could really help things. Talking about eczema and drinking water. She asked me what three things can I change and just stick to those three things.
So here they are:
- Drink at least 60 oz of cool, refreshing H20 daily – I love my water. I’m one of the rare people in my household that actually enjoys drinking plain water. My friend brought to my attention that many people just sip thinking that they are drinking tons all day long when in fact it’s really nothing because it’s just a few sips here and there. So I’m going to make sure I gulp a few glasses and sip in between.
- Add 1 more serving a day of fresh fruits and vegetables – This is probably going to be easy yet difficult. If I make smoothies on a daily basis then it will be super easy to pump myself and the family full of essential vitamins and minerals that we need to get our immune systems grooving! Difficult as in I’m not one to be open to new non-tasty vegetables and our family has been in a rut of mashed potatoes and green beans for a while.
- Doing at least 1 mile of Walk At Home daily – This is by far my biggest challenge. I go a week of being good and doing some type of fitness activity then the next I’m the biggest couch potato ever. One mile though – it’s just one mile. It’s fun, easy and I know it works as my friend has lost over 100 lbs doing the Walk At Home DVD’s.
So there you have it. Three small and simple steps to a more motivated and healthier family. What are your three steps? What are things you have done to keep the fire burning?

[...] I just say how proud I am of myself? About 5 days ago I made myself a short list of three things I can change easily and now. While I haven’t met all three goals on a regular and daily basis I am making [...]
