3- Things I'll Do Less Of

There always seems to be plenty of things to do less of out there in life. Usually these type of resolutions are one's of deprivation. I guess mine are as well. (please notice all the links- I learned something new and am trying to use it to death)

1- Eat less food. It's interesting to see the difference between how much food we need and how much we actually eat. I guess that difference is called weight gain. I plan to eat less and the only way to do this is to watch what goes in. I've begun to notice calorie counts on food packaging... and it's amazing to see just how much punch gets packed into those bite sized treats. Here's a good site for those who are going to be more health conscious this coming year.

2- Eat less meat. Don't worry all these won't be about eating. But I've always thought that eating more vegetables and less meat is a good thing. Go here for Meatless Monday. This should be easy to do but in reality it's going to be hard. Especially when going out to eat. The vegetarian selection at most restaurants is usually rather thin.

3- Watch less television. The eternal time waster- the boob tube. I'd like eliminate the senseless watching in the evening to put that time to better use. I want to watch less news... seems that it's mostly bad news and usually irritating and upsetting. Non-stop news shows like CNN, ESPN and Fox serve up the same stuff hour after hour. I mean to stop watching the opinion shows that only serve to rile me up ... like the O'Reilly Factor, etc. Letting a TV show screw up your insides doesn't seem very productive.

4- Drive the car less. Try to consolidate trips a little better. That's the big thing. Walk to the store when possible. Maybe put off a trip downtown. Saving gas, saving money and polluting less.

5- Procrastinate less... I guess this also translates into "do things now". So with that I'll get on with my day.
