Connie Bates

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will begin, or continue, on the journey of forgiving myself and/or other(s). I may do this through journaling, meditation, prayer, and/or talking with a licensed healthcare professional.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minute(s) each day.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
