When Life Hands You Lemons...

...or watermelon or bananas or...well, anything but chocolate...


Monday I blogged about priorities over on the MBT Ponderers. (As you already know, since my one faithful reader said that posting the link didn't count as blogging.) So I'm working to be healthier in all aspects of my life.

This is hard.

My husband and I started a diet this week. A pretty strict one. Meat once a week. No bread. Limited starches, processed foods, and sugar. Lots of veggies and fruits. No chocolate. Two days into the diet, and let me tell you, those little York Peppermint Patties on the counter at work have never been so tempting!

I also gave up reading fiction for the month. Yes, I did. Me--the one who reads while walking the dog and taking a shower. Instead...I bought a waterproof Bible. (You didn't see that coming, did you? ha)

But I have so many other things to work on: keeping a neater house, exercising regularly, um, blogging. So today I have two questions for you.

1. Have you changed anything lately in your own life to work on your priorities?

2. Do you have any tips for staying healthier, more organized, more productive, etc.?

Is there such a thing as a waterproof Bible?!
I'm cheering you on, girl!

Wow, fiction?! I'm impressed. Good luck on the diet, although we can't be friends if you get to skinny. Just sayin'. "Don't you wish your girlfried was..." ;-)

If you gave up fiction for the month, does that mean you're reading - gasp! - nonfiction?
