While I was waiting for an appointment with an ear specialist, I thought I might have Menieres Disease, so I gave up sodium. It was truly horrible for me, as well as my poor family who would try to discretely add salt to all of the tasteless food I was making. The ear guy told me I DIDN”T have Menieres Disease, so the first thing I did was go home and eat everything in the house that had sodium in it! Since then, I’ve reflected on the fact that sodium really is bad for us and I normally eat A LOT more than the recommended daily allowance. So this month, I’m going to try to live within the recommended daily allowance of sodium. So that means that hot dogs are no longer my standard lunch, I’m cutting way back on processed foods, and I will be reading the nutrition labels before I buy chicken (did you know that chicken only has about 49 mg of sodium, but the boneless chicken breasts that go on sale for $1.99 a pound have 200-600mg of sodium per serving?!!).

I’m working on eating healthier – more fresh fruit and veggies and less meat. DH isn’t wild about many meatless dishes, but there are lots of meals that have just a little meat and mostly veggies or rice.
What changes will I make for the better this month?
To continue to recycle and donate items I no longer need or use and thereby cleaning out the clutter.

I’ve stopped over doing the wine this month, I have it maybe once a week rather than a glass or two most days!
This month I plan on reading more to prep for the grad school applications that I submitted this week! It’s been a HUGE week of putting a change down in concrete that I have been dreaming of since 8 years ago when I graduated undergrad. This $100 would certainly help with the wealth of information I need to cram in to my head in preparation for interviews!
I run 15 minutes every morning to stay healthy.

I am trying to eat better – more fresh products and less processed foods. Until I started this, I never realized how much processed food we consumed and how hard it is to cut it out of the menu.
I cut back on my grocery bill by making sure to finish leftovers instead of just throwing the food away and not buying so much meat.
I bought a faucet water filter- no more bottled water for me!
This month I’d like to finish out by taking my wife out to a lovely dinner!

I am seriously trying to de-clutter. Realized the key is not to look at the big picture, but cut things into smaller (and therefore more manageable/realistic) chunks. Think of starting with one cupboard, not the entire kitchen!

I had my first cataract surgery earlier this week–that has already improved my vision, although it is a little disconcerting that my glasses actually make my vision a little worse (have to wear them for protection, and of course haven’t had a chance to adjust the prescription in that lens).
I am making a good portion of our Christmas gifts. We are also putting the plastic around the windows to keep the heat in.

I’m gonna quit smoking.

I plan on eating healthier and exercising more often.

I will try to do more for me.

This month I am focusing on trying to be more focused while working from home! There are so many distractions when you work from home, as some of you may know:) I am doing things like closing my email, not answering the phone (or texts), setting a timer and so on.
I play on cleaning out all my closets and donating all our old clothes
I am going to recycle more.
I am going to exercise more so that I feel better.
I just learned that you can recycle your cosmetic bottles/jars/tubes at any Origins store or Origins counter…so I’m going to save my empties and recycle them!

I’m getting rid of things in my house that I haven’t used in a while or do not want. We’re having a garage sale next month. I’m ready to start an uncluttered life!
The change I plan to make for the better this month is to get organized. I have already tried a bit of this and it has helped me feel in control and less stressed to the point that I know when I get totally organized, my life will be so much better, and also, the people’s lives with whom I come in contact with.
This month I plan on smiling to strangers more often. I’ve found that a smile can be just the ticket to help brighten someone elses day.
I’m cooking more and going to the restaurants less.
I am trying every day to eat better. And I want to do the Couch To 5K thing also.
I will “think” less and “Thank” more.
In these hard times the changes I’m trying to make this month would be to condition myself to be more thankful for the things I do have and try and help others more that may not have as much. Stop thinking about the things I don’t have and stressing myself out.
I will swim 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes each time to lose weight and get in better shape.

I will spend more quality time with my two teenage children to really sit down and listen to how they feel and what their opinions are just what is going on in their everyday life instead of alwayy being in a hurry. I will make it a point to make a kind gesture to a stranger everyday and to just be thankful for what I have instead of what I do not have.
this is pretty excellent. i could buy some clothes the kids need
I’m going to increase my credit card payment!
I’m going to finish some projects around the house that have been put on hold.
I am trying to conserve energy by only using lights at night and taking shorter showers.
I will be getting rid of all the clutter around the house and hauling it away to Goodwill
cleaning out the junk drawer and keeping only what is essential.
I won,i won..every stop..i won!
I have been eating healthier and excercising more and I hope I will see an improvement.
I’ve switched to CFL lightbulbs and natural cleaning products.
I am switching from plastic bags to cloth reusable bags, and I’m using green cleaning products in my home.
I’ve decided to take a walk with my kids every evening.
No changes for us here. We have the perfect routine and life–don’t fix something that’s not broke.

My husband and I are trying to take lots of little steps in several areas. We walk a mile together each morning. We try to remember to take our own bags when we shop. We are “decluttering” and are making sure that we give all useable items to charity, recycle anything we can, etc. We are eating healthy…I gave up sweets; my husband has two per week. We are trying to simplify our lives.

We’re going to be putting in a new tile floor this month! So, that’s definitely a change for the better in our house as our floor is very old. The new one will be much more hygienic!
This month we’re going healthy by increasing our intake of fruits and veggies to six servings a day. My kids have taken a 5 day challenge to track their progress and hubby has gotten serious and already lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks!
This month as a way of saving money with both food shopping and Christmas Gifts I am making a variety of things from the fresh veggies and fruits from my garden. Garlic and Herb Pickles, Fresh Spaghetti sauce, Relish and Onion Relish.
