THE BUCKET!!!!!!

So out of nowhere the other day, I was vegetating on the couch watching crap television (PMS) and I got to thinking (OUCH)...

I've been trying to come up with a way to change my habits and lifestyle. There's no seamless way to do this (except by killing yourself -- which I do not recommend.). So I thought, how can I keep things interesting AND introduce better habits into my life - both with the food I consume and the exercise I partake in.

HENCE... THE BUCKET.

I have a green bucket that I've had since I was little. It came with a beach toy set. In this bucket, I've put several post-it notes. On each post-it is an eating habit, a 30-60 minute exercise plan or both. Every morning I will pick one and I have to adhere to it. This way I am getting a multitude of benefits and not falling into a rut immediately. I won't feel the pressure of a blanket dietary change. I won't get bored with one exercise dvd or going for a run every single day. This is how I'm going to keep things interesting. I'm going to do the ones already in the bucket for thirty straight days.

After thirty days, I'll start again with new post-its.

Every Sunday I'll leave an update here. I don't own a scale on purpose (because people get trapped in a number!), but maybe feeling and photo progress will be featured here!

Until the 26th... well, on THIS topic, at least...
