I've made some small...or at least I think they are small changes to my.....what's a good word? Lifestyle. Although I have always kept a water bottle at my side, I've decided I'm not going to keep track of how many ounces I've drank or worry about not drinking enough water. If I'm thirsty, I drink. If I'm not, I don't. Keeping it simple. I figured I put too much stress on myself to keep track of how much water I'm drinking, I'm just going to go with the flow.
I've switched out coffee in the morning for green tea and cinnamon tea. I can find tea bags of both at my local super market so instead of drinking a cup of coffee in the morning I'm drinking a cup of green tea/cinnamon mix with a table spoon of honey. So far that hasn't been a very debilitating change. I had been drinking decaff coffee and had just recently switched to caffeinated. So I wasn't quite hooked yet. My coffee stuff was moved to the pantry and I moved to the kitchen counter the tea bags and honey.
I started taking B12 and MSM every morning. This hasn't been a huge change for me because I take a multi-vitamin every morning after break fast. For what ever reason I'm always feeling fatigued and I figured the B12 would help with that. My knees don't hurt right now but I am worried about them because both my parents have had knee surgery, this is something I want to avoid when I am older so that's why I'm taking the MSM. I got both for a decent price on Nutrition Express . After reading the labels on both bottles I realized that B12 helps support a health metabolism and MSM supports healthy joints, hair, skin and nails. All of which I don't mind any assistance with.
One other change, which isn't really small but hasn't been horrible so far is the working out every weekday. That is kind of a big change but I've been feeling motivated recently so I haven't felt too forced about it.
We'll see if these small changes work in some way.
