- eat better: start cooking more and eating out less
- exercise more: practice yoga/Pilates again, use a standing desk at work
- declutter house
- no buy on makeup/beauty items Jan-March: can develop a wish list and purchase one or two items from it in April
The first thing of I thought of when I unwrapped the Raw Revolution Spirulina Dream bar was "Soylent Green". I'm guessing that 9 out of 10 people who read this post will have no idea of what Soylent Green is. I won't ruin it for you, but if you don't know, this is worth a look. It got imprinted on my mind many years ago.
I'm happy to report that exercising no longer feels forced and I actually look forward to it each morning. I've been researching scoliosis and exercises to help out with the muscle tightness I've been experiencing on the right side of my body, and everything I've read indicates I'm on the right track with the yoga and Pilates.
The Pilates Power Ball Sculpt Workout s kicking my butt - I still can't do all the reps for each position, but I can tell I'm getting stronger. The exercise depicted on the cover actually reinforced what I've been reading regarding the muscle imbalances that result from a misaligned spine, as the muscles on my "loose" side were very sore afterwards, almost like a muscle pull or spasm.

Now you know why I'm on a no-buy until April :-) Speaking of, my no-buy is going strong, although two items are being added to my wish list: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush and Clinique's Cheek Pop Blush. I'm not sure what colors I want in either yet, but I've got plenty of time to decide.

Hey the images from templatalia don't work! But I am totally eyeing that clinique blush too :)
