Mission 3: Keep Off the Couch

Apart from exercise, incorporate regular and routine activity into your lifestyle.

I am coming to the realization that these missions are clearly taking me more like 10 days to wrap up instead of a week. I can't seem to get started on time and then I just can't get to the blog often enough. So bear with me on that.

Anyway, "Week" 3. Really, all I have in my life lately is "regular and routine activity", and no actual vigorous exercise. I walk the dog a few times a day, I live in a three-story home so I am up and down those hideous stairs all the time, I walk to run errands. I am fine with "routine activity", I think. But getting exercise, on the other hand? Total bust. I did not exercise once this week. On the other hand, I stress about exercising pretty much constantly, so there is really no danger of my not being worried about this part of my life.

Onward! Next mission: Start a food journal. Ugh! I hate food journals!! How can I possibly conduct my secret binges on Double Stuff Oreos (or pretzels dipped in peanut butter) if I have to write about them?! Or, to be honest, just feel guilty because I am totally not going to write about them!? Ugh. Food journals.

I have been drooling over this this pretty food blog for the past few days, so when presented with my own especially delightful breakfast this weekend, I felt compelled to take a picture of it: My photo is not that great, but the meal was. Cristina's eggs: Crunchy toast with a bit of olive oil, topped with charred tomatoes, spinach, and poached eggs, and then finished with sprinkles of balsamic and parmesan. Now go check out Simply Breakfast ! It makes me wish I had leisurely mornings.

I'm really digging Anthropologie's current wallpaper designs . I would love to paper just one wall of a bathroom, say, or a walk-in closet with one of these fun prints.

Mission 6: Take a Multivitamin

Take a multivitamin every day. I do this already. Plus I take all kind of other supplements depending on what strikes my fancy on any given week. I have high blood pressure so I'm taking some Omega business and some COQ10 business... and I can't even remember why I'm taking bee pollen right now. Energy? Anyway, I take plenty of vitamins, including the regular multivitamin. Done! Next mission: "Keep the Outside Out." This involves removing our shoes at the door and creating "a transition space to minimize unwanted outdoor pollutants in your home." I like the thought of this, actually - spring in this snowy town is a mess. There is mud and sand and road salt everywhere, the dog hair is everywhere, dust and leaves are flying around... I would love if it would be possible to keep some of that to a minimum. Will try to implement with my family and will report back! Stay tuned!
