Healthy 2017: Water

Here is another key for me.  Getting enough water in.  I find I eat when I am actually thirsty. I find that I specifically crave carbs and sweets when I am thirsty.  l find that drinking enough water nips this in the bud.  I really need to be more consistent with this.  What I like about MyFitnessPal is that I can count my water too. I just have to make a commitment to do it every day.

Here are some articles about the benefits of water.

Healthy 2017: Meditation

This probably is one of the most important changes I want to make this year.  This one is one that can help me the most.  Being quiet.  Meditating.

Healthy 2017 Making New Habits

I have proclaimed this year 2017 as the "Year of Getting Healthy".  No resolutions here because resolutions don't work for me.  I am going to be making some new habits for myself.  Every two weeks I will add a new healthy habit.  At the end of 2017 I am looking for a healthier, stronger and leaner me.

The key here is to add them as a regular part of life.  But some of these things are a periodic thing.  If you want to follow along and do this, try it for at least two weeks.  Of course, you don't have to do anything, right?  But I would love to have people walking the road with me.

The first healthy habit I am going to start is at least 20 sit ups every day.  I will keep adding when I feel I am ready.  We'll see what I get up to at the end of the year.

Won't you join me?  Join in doing the same ones or offer your own idea for a healthy habit in the comment section.  Would love to hear your ideas.
