Habit for the Month - August's Review


So this month we made some health changes - better food, less junk, more exercise and more water. Well, I did really well with cutting the junk until this last week. I've done okay with the exercise; I want to do more in that area. We've kept up with the better food - fruit and vegetables! I've not done so well with the more water, except that I've cut pop, and replaced it with either fruit juice (watered down) or just plain water. I still need to work on this though.

One thing that we've noticed with eating better is that the grocery budget needs to expand with that. We'd cut our budget to almost half of what it had been when we were working through Financial Peace University. The new budget was too small because we resorted to eating cheap pastas, breads and not very many veggies. We've upped our budget to make up for the changes in our diet. Eating well is important to us.

Striving to learn and live God's purposes,

To help with the water consumption, I got this idea from my step mom she always keeps a pitcher of crystal light (the store brand) made on her counter and for ever glass of that she drinks she must drink a glass of water. It really helped her and my dad and Casey and I once we started doing it.

Also I forget that if you start your day by consuming a glass of water it helps you remember to drink more through out the day or at least for me it does.
