Yesterday, Oprah said she was going to do a 21 day "cleanse." It got me thinking about the simplicity of making a change in my life for just 21 days. Just 3 short weeks, I should be able to accomplish something, for three weeks, right? Now, of course, knowing my personal limitations I'm not ready to do anything drastic like giving up animal products or bread - but I do think I can choose a little change to make in my life for just 21 days at a time.
Here I go with day one. I haven't considered what might happen if I "fail" on my 21 day quest. The world won't end, my bank account balance will not change in the slightest. But maybe just maybe, if I can achieve something little I can be just a bit more positive about bigger changes that loom ahead. I'm just gonna jump in and see what I can do if I blog this and try to stick to it.

My first 21 day mission is to give up chocolate. YIKES! I actually wrote that down, in ink, in permanent existence. Can I really give up my love for 3 weeks? It's 7:40 in the morning of day one...so far so good.
Stay tuned.

Hey there! I know you can do it and 21 dyas is just the right amount of time. M (my 7th grader) came home the other day and told us that his teacher said that it takes 21 times to break a habit. 21 must be the magic number!!
I'm trying to think of my own unheakthy habit to shed...Still thinking....
So many habits to choose from! LOL
