What I’m going to do:

1. Find balance in my daily food intake. Since raw veggies cause major tummy issues for me, I need to find creative ways to incorporate cooked veg and lean protein into my diet and reduce my carbs. Also, Drink more water!
   
   
2. Exercise 5 days a week for at least 1 hour. This can include intensive gardening, renovating, bike riding, walking, swimming and gym going.
   
   
3. See my trainer 1 - 2 times a week. It’s an expense that I feel is worth every penny.
   
   
4. Spend no more than 2 hours watching tv or browsing the web. Serious time suck, and I alsways feel tired and blah after spending too much time staring at a screen.
   
   
5. Be frugal. Weddings are expensive and I don’t need to spend money to have fun, especially in the summer here.
   
   
6. Enjoy the outdoors. It’s mosquito central in Saskatchewan right now but I need to suck it up! The warm weather is few and far between here, especially this year with all the rain.
   
   
7. Appreciate the victories, learn from the failures. I’m not perfect, but I’m also capable of changing my life, one small step at a time. Positivity is crucial
   
   
8. Focus on being HEALTHY. While looking good in my wedding dress is inspiration for this, it’s not the main reason for making these changes. My overall health is my ultimate goal.
