How about the word - Appreciate for April. I need to learn to appreciate what I have and not be buying the next best thing or thinking I need an item for my "fantasy" life.
I am thinking of giving up eating junk between meals, this is something I battle with every day (ask me about the sleeve of thin mint cookies I ate yesterday afternoon). I really need to give up eating after supper,I know I am not hungry but I just go on auto pilot and eat. I am going to try to add some type of exercise everyday. It may just be a 30 min walk or a 30 min. dvd. We will see how this goes.
Good luck to all who give up something or try to add something.
I could have written this almost word for word. Except I would have had to admit I ate the whole box of cookies instead of just one sleeve.
You slay me.
If there was a banquet table piled high with cakes, brownies, pies, pastries, donuts, cupcakes and cookies, cookies would be the hardest to resist.
I'm definitely a cookie girl. Always have been, always will be.

Me too!!!!!!
I really like the word "appreciate." I think it is important.
This week, I dont have a eating specific plan, just mindfulness, but I want to at least exercise 4 days a week and slowly bump it up to at least 6 days.
Better-half and I are getting into salads. Way back in the 90s, I had to fly to San Francisco for a seminar for work and across the street from my hotel was a little Italian restaurant where I would grab a table near the window and drink red wine and eat amazing salads. When I came home I waxed poetic about these perfect salads and wondered why I wasn't eating them every day.
Now you can buy bagged salads that have seeds and nuts and dried fruits so there's no excuse not to have a salad. Better-half and I are buying these and at the same time we're wondering why because we already have all the seeds and nuts and fruit -- dried and fresh -- to make our own combination salads. Crumble a little gorgonzola or bleu cheese or sprinkle some parmesan, throw in some nuts and seeds, herbs and fruit, chopped up vegetables... there's no end to the variety.
Holy c__p -- the Dow just went over 21,000!
But I digress. More salads in March! And more fish.

I'm in. I need to pare down and wake up. Mindfulness should be more than just a word and I've been trying for years , mostly failing at it.
I'm almost finished with an entire tube of Lorac lipstick and I never finish a tube! Also almost finished with a compact of IT illuminator.
Good luck to all of us. We will do this!

I just took a shower and noticed that I'm one use away from finishing two ancient bottles of philosophy: caramel candy corn 3-in-1 and pure grace conditioner (that has long been downgraded to shaving gel).
The "one-by-one-until-they're-done" method has really made a difference. I used to spend way too much time trying to match products to my mood. Do I feel fruity today? Foodie? Flowery? Now it's one bottle in and it doesn't come out 'til it's empty.
This is the month!

Whoa. I went to the closet where I've kept the last of my philosophy 3-in-1 collection and I'm happy (and shocked) to report that I have five 16-ounce bottles left. I used to have 100 bottles of shower gel in the house.
Of course, I still have a s__tload of B&BW, but it's still progress!

Wow, that is some good progress. How long do you estimate that took you?

I do LOVE salads. But, a lot of times when I get the fixings for home, most of it gets tossed for one reason or another. So, no more fixings for home regardless of my good intentions. So, now I have them when I am at work or out. Although, summer time is when I really crave them more. So light and refreshing.
But now, you are making me want that ready made salad from Costcos with the cranberries and pumpkin seeds, I think. I forget the name of it.
