Ok - my goal is to actually get my husband and I to the temple together once a month. Seriously, we have friends who we swap babysitting with, and I'm pretty sure the temple is IN OUR STAKE BOUNDARIES so I kind of have zero excuse, right? So this is the year it is going to happen!
The thing is is that this isn't really a daily goal... I have one of those that I want to work on for the next two weeks, and Kamie said I could have it be my goal too, and we all know that the word of the great Kamie is law! (insert random chanting with incense rising within a darkened chamber while a hooded figure lifts a tattered book above his head and all the other prostrated hooded figures in the room yell "The Word of Kamie is Law!").
*Ahem*
I stink at drinking water. I think it is because when I'm preggers I can't drink water, and if you think two weeks is a good amount of time to set up a habit, try nine months! It has kind of gotten to the point were my body honestly forgets to crave it (until, like, three in the morning when I wake up and scare my husband to death from gasping and saying that if he doesn't get five million gallons of water at that second I'm going to die).
But the thing is, just deciding to drink 12 glasses of water every day hasn't really worked in the past either. I've tired a check list, setting out 12 cups on the counter, even getting one of those fancy water bottles that tracks how much water you're drinking, and it still didn't work!
So I'm going to start small. My goal for the next two weeks is to drink two large glasses of water every morning when I first wake up. I think your suppose to do this anyway to help flush out your system, but my reasoning is that this is a doable goal because 1) it is a set time that ALWAYS happens EVERY day (I will always wake up every day) 2) it is something that I only need to remember to do ONCE a day and 3) it is NOT conditional on my chronic illness messing with me. I can still do this even if I then have to stay in bed all day, which means having my two-week-to-a-habit is most likely not going to get interrupted. Hopefully, after two weeks of reminding my body what this strange life giving liquid is it will get horribly addicted to it and I will start craving it like preggers me and nerd ropes.
