How Long?

After doing some reading and listening to some podcast, I found out something new. (I love learning new things!!) Did you know it takes 21 days to change a habit? That seems so long, but after giving it some thought, its just right! Here are some habits I'd like to change: - Eating healthier: Back in April I went officially gluten free. The change has been dramatic! I can't believe how much better I am feeling. Although it has been a big adjustment, I am so much happier because of the change. Now that I am not eating bread, any processed food, or eating out, I want to take my diet to the next level. Eating smaller meals more often, choosing healthier snacks, etc. - Exercise daily: Mark brought the treadmill into the house so that even though it is 112 degrees outside, I can now work out and exercise in the comfort of my home. Now I just have to get off my behind and work out! - Develop a schedule: I have never been good at keeping a schedule, but I feel that if I had a schedule to follow I could be more productive and efficient. So, now that I have set out my goals, I look forward to the next 21 days. Wish me luck!! Before I go though, check out this website http://www.happyhousewivesclub.com/ lots of fun ideas and encouragement to be a "Happy Housewife". While you're at it, buy Darla Shine's book, Happy Housewives. Its a fun book!
