    Good morning. My goal will be to drink more water for this month. Its hard for me because sometimes I can be so good about it and then other times I won't. Trying to be mindful and also I want to get at least 3 nights where I put in 8 hours of sleep. I looked at my calendar last year and I ran myself to the ground. I am realizing that sleep is very important for our bodies. Why am I shortchanging myself.

    I want to focus on drinking more water too. I used to get 8+ glasses a day and somehow I have gotten away from it. I do find when I exercise regularly I drink more water!

    Morning. It is nice and cold today. I love it. Not looking for snow that is forcasted for tonight into tomorrow. Its all good. I am not using my Fitbit this week. So I am just using MyFitness Pal and my iphone. I notice that it is not a as accurate as the Fitbit but I am still logging in everything. And I bought some new watches for Christmas and I want to wear them. :wink:

    So happy new year all ... Welcome new faces.

    I plan to keep that average step count rising (i just measure walks outside the house) - it's roughly 7500 daily average. And I hope to get back to doing some swimming too...

    (I am in recovery from Chronic Fatigue. So i like the 3 x 8 hours sleep goal! I've had a bad autumn for sleep - CFS folks often do - and am back to doing all the dull 'sleep hygiene' stuff.... So bath had and lights going out just now...Trying to be good!)
