and smoking...

Two of the very few vices I don't have!!

I'm working towards improving the quality of the food we eat at the moment (along with other frighteningly green isues). I'm looking at the organic veggies more often and buying them more as a result, and I've recently started buying organic milk. I think my next step might be to drag myself to our local farmer's market each month and test drive some organic meats. Somehow it's easier to contemplate a farmer's market when the sun is shining and the weather's a teensy bit warmer.

still have my usual vices though - junk food and irregular medication taking. I don't see that it's going to get any easier to give all of this my attention either. If I didn't do it when I was 'just' a homemaker and full-time mother, I'm really not likely to do that when I add to that (not replace!) the entire backend office systems of a large new startup company. I think my main focus is still going to be on keeping up the quality and quantity of 'real' food we eat, taking the tablets as often as I can, and drinking more water. Again, it's easier now it's a bit warmer and sunnier and I don't feel like huddling in a blanket in front of the fire.

I have a bottle on my desk now which needs refilling, so I've been doing reasonably well with this the last few days. I don't drink more than two or three cups of tea a day, and I rarely drink Coke now. I keep in some bottles of cloudy lemonade that I like (it's also cheaper) so I tend to forget the Coke! Until they have a good special offer on.

As usual my moderate approach is the one I'm attempting to stick to. Don't try to make radical changes because it's much less likely you'll stick to them. Certainly is with me!

Kerri.
