Day 2: Three Baby Steps to {Healthy} Living

Yesterday I blogged about living. Today, I'm focusing on the {healthy} part.

I've tried 101 ways to get healthy, and they are all great and merit some value. I just peter out, give up, and fall back into my old ways, unfortunately.

Sound familiar?

So today, I'm making 3 small baby step changes that I am committing to this month. {Don't hear me say this is what you need to do. These are just my steps. Ask God what are your steps. No legalism here. All is grace.}

My Baby Steps to Health
1-Drink more water.
2-Cut out refined sugar and artificial sweeteners. (gulp!)
3-Eat more fruits and vegetables.


#1 and #3 should be easier. #2 will be the kicker. How will I do this?

I will play a little game of "Eat This, Not This!"

Play with me.

When I want to eat this: MARTHA STEWART PUMPKIN SQUARES


I will eat this: BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH BROWNED BUTTER & THYME




And when I want to drink this: DIET COKE

I will sip on this: SPARKLING RASPBERRY TEA



I can do this, right?

Say it with me....
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.....

Stay tuned.
And in the meantime...take some baby steps with me and share them in a comment below. 
What are YOUR baby steps?
