IS ANYONE READING THIS??!

So I decided I need to pick up some habits. And I'm going to make it my goal for the next 5 months (start small) to do these habits everyday.

1. only brush my teeth in the morning, and before bed (maybe once in between if I'm going out or something) and floss. I went to the dentist back in January and they told me my gums were receding because I brush too hard/brush too often and it makes my teeth super sensitive, almost to a point where it's painful to eat or drink anything that isn't lukewarm. It's almost OCD like how much I brush my teeth, gotta chill out.

2. use facial scrub in the morning and before bed. I'm not trying to brag but while all my siblings had pretty terrible acne, I never had an acne problem or rarely ever got pimples. But I consider it God's way of making things even since he smited me with terrible eczema when I was little. Anyway when I did get a pimple, I wouldn't do anything about it. Just let it run its course. But ever since I started this job, I guess I've been more stressed out and I've been having pimples show up on my face. And it may not be noticable to others, but I notice it. So now I have to get in the habit of using facial scrub, which is alot harder to remember than you may think.

3. not spend my money so frivolously. I plan on not buying myself anything for the next 5 months (with the exception of a ticket to Governor's Ball). I just did my taxes this past weekend and put together all the loans I owe and I didn't realize how in debt I actually am. So with the except of food and drink, no more perks. I also need to cut down on the amount of money I spend at bars on weekends. I'll just DD, that way I have an obligation to stay sober.

4. eat healthier or eat at least something during the day. Ever since I was sick for what felt like a month, I barely ate anything. Mostly because everything tasted yucky and I didn't have an appetite. But I'm still in that habit. I just forget to eat during work and then when I get home I'm too lazy to make anything. Then when I do eat, it's basically carbs. Now, I did lose a pants size but I want to lose more and I want to do it in a healthy manner.

5. GO TO THE GYM. I'm not taking advantage of the $22 Retro Fitness takes out of my bank account every month. GOGOGO

6. Start going on walks. I know it's lame but I really can't run very far without my asthma acting up lately. So I need to start small and start going on walks especially since it's getting nicer out. This I think I can do but I need motivation!

Please if you are my friend and reading this which only a handful of you are, make me do these things. If you see that I'm about to buy something I don't need, remind me of this blogpost. If you see me eating unhealthy (Mike, I'm looking at you!), tell me the important of not eating that thing. If I'm talking to you about going to the gym or not, motivate me to go! (Mark, I'm looking at you!) Just help me! I can't do this on my own!
