Week #3

I flossed three times this week (once more than the previous week).

Julia certainly has been a motivational inspiration for me to change my poor oral hygiene.
I took the lesson she gave us to heart, and even tried to share some good flossing technique with my husband... who fervently maintains that he needs to wrap the floss around his whole hand multiple times in order to get satisfactory leverage. (Mind you, this is the same man who flossed off half of his back tooth last year).
I even considered using mouthwash last night, but then quickly discarded the idea. I don't like the burning...

This flossing project is bleeding over into other healthy habits... My husband and I share a pomegranate a day, the single best health intervention I can imagine (other than exercise). I feel a remarkable difference in my body, my outlook, my spirit, my connection to nature...all from an antioxidant-overflowing strange, little fruit. We have been maintaining this routine since October, only because he does all the procurement work.

Omega 3's are being consumed (although with about as much regularity as my flossing).
The gym is being visited (although my expanding uterus puts a damper on my workout)
The Yoga studio has been frequented (hoping to go once every couple of weeks until third trimester, then weekly)
All in all, very pleased with the progress... empowering.
