Daily Challenges Update

 A few weeks back I challenged myself to drink more water.  My goal was to only have non water beverages early in the morning (coffee) and during meals.  Overall, I am very pleased with my progress on this one.  I take my water bottle with me to work every day and normally I go through it and have to refill at some point.  And it's working.  I drink a lot more water than before.  The only downside is I do tend to use the restroom a lot more, but oh well.  At least I know it's in there LOL

I did not post my next daily challenge, but starting last Monday I decided that I was going to make a concerted effort to take more pride in my appearance.  My typical work attire is long dress pants and some kind of button down shirt.  I had always been keeping my shirt untucked because I thought it more comfortable.  Plus, our that's how our executive director at the time was dressing, so why not?  But I do not carry myself well when I dress like that.  My posture is way too relaxed and slumped.

So, last Monday, I tucked in my shirt and opted for suspenders instead of a belt.  People commented on how they liked the suspenders, which was nice.  The next day I wore something dressier, with a belt this time, and got lots of comments on how I looked.  When I did it again the next day, people asked me if I had a job interview...if that was why I was dressing up.  It's not, but it was nice to make people think.  And it's nice that people were noticing.  And, like I said, I carry myself better.  I stand up straighter.  I keep my shoulders back in alignment and that also helps me to look a little thinner than I am.  

All in all, I am happy with the changes I am making.  Now, time to think of a few more to add to the mix.

That is all.
