March was good for my one personal care habit - neti pot and taking allergy meds. I am not doing well with the other two goals, improving dinner, and exercising 15 minutes a day. April is portion control, take a multi vitamin, and exercising twice a day for 10 minutes each.
I think my portion control will be to learn what a portion is of each of my typical foods. A good idea would be to limit myself to one serving of any foods that is not a fruit or vegetable. My goal for my health has to do with increasing my potassium, which is mainly found in fruits and vegetables.
I am doing TERRIBLE on my exercise. I need to focus completely on walking the dogs and stretching. More on this next week.

March allergies in full swing
I started the neti pot at just the right time. The trees are in full bloom! I am still struggling with the exercise and finding new recipes. At the end of the month, I will retake the real age test. Maybe I will have modest improvement. I don't drink soda anymore, floss regularly, and taking care of my allergies.

March madness begins
I am pleased with my small changes idea. I have had some failure and success. My failure so far has been regular exercise, and monitoring my BP. However, I was successful with flossing, no soda, and breakfast recipes. This month is regular use of my neti pot, 15 minutes of exercise, and dinner recipes that are healthy additions.
I was just thinking about my allergies this morning as I drove past all the blooming trees on the way to work. It is important for not to let the symptoms get the best of me. I must keep my sinuses clear so I can use my sleep apnea mask. I cannot function without my breathing machine at night.
I will push myself on the exercise. I need to walk the dogs anyway.
As for dinner, perhaps having a new goal will motivate me to shop. I did not shop this weekend due to report cards needing done. However, tonight is the night to plan for this weekend and next week.
I am excited about March. I know I am improving my health with my small but steady changes.
