Ok I wanted to update on a few of my efforts.
Since this thread began, I still have not watched television, except for Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, which I watch online. I gave my televisions away and don't even have any at home (there's a small 20" in my storage closet for when my godsons come over).
I am still not doing too well with the vegetables, but I'm better than I was when the thread started. I do try to look for ways to add vegetables to my meals, and I try new vegetables that I've never had before (that's very unlike me). I started off small (like adding peppers to my pizza or lettuce to my burgers... lol) but it helped put me in the mind frame of looking for ways to add veggies to my diet.
I drink a LOT more water than I ever did, but still not as much as I need to. I haven't reached my goal here, but I'm better than I was when we started out.
I fell off on the exercise, but I do walk a lot. I love walking, so I try to do it as often as I can.
Now for the biggie. PHB's thread about skin care got me to thinking. Although I never mentioned it here (it's a bit of a sensitive subject for me), I did have some skin care goals which I shared with my accountability partner privately. I did better in some of the areas on my list, but I failed in others. Starting today (on my way downtown right now), I'm switching to all natural regimen, which will include lots of water and green vegetables, an all-natural skin care vitamin, and natural soap, toner, and moisturizer for my face.
It dawned on me (and Nessa confirmed it in the CS thread) that God does give us the answers for nearly all our ailments in the things he created. We rely on prescription drugs, chemicals, products with additives and preservatives and all kinds of stuff we can't pronounce, TRUSTING the manufacturers and their marketing lines more than we trust what God provided for us.
So I'm gonna try it with His line of products and we'll see what happens.

Of course, I'll keep you posted.
