update 3

Happier:
I think, despite being clueless as to how I plan to measure this, it is safe to say I was not successful at this.  The death of my grandpa did not help.  But I am handling it better than I handled my grandma's death 9 years ago.

Healthier:
1. I gained.  Again.  The funeral was not kind to me.  But the reality is, one weekend did not do all of the damage.  I have started juicing once a day.  I have started eating whole real foods.  None of it is helping yet.  I need meds.
2.  Ladybug is taking her medications.  I am painfully aware that her meds are far less effective then they were a month ago.  I am more consistent about taking mine this month than last month.  But not perfect.
3.  I did a really good job at using my mini-stepper this month. I am up to 8 minutes a night.  Or I was.  And then the funeral through me off.  I guess I could have gone to the fitness center at the hotel.  But I didn't.  I need to get back to this.  Maybe tomorrow.
4.  Drink more water.  Drink less of anything else.  I even gave up my beloved tea at the end of the month.  Juices and water now.  But I need to do more water still.
5.  Doing so much better at eating whole foods.  Keeping lunches simple for both me and Ladybug.  Juicing in the mornings.  Crocking at night.  That is good.
6.  There were no doctor appointments this month.  Well, I did go pick up my multi-focal progressive lenses.  Which I hate.  They are so hard to get use to.  I want to turn them in.  But I have 60 days.  I should give it a chance.  However, April is filled with appointments.  As of right now I have 6 appointments scheduled.  And somehow that does not catch us up on everything.
7.  I sucked at going to bed on time.  Most nights it was 11.  That is too late.  I think it is a sign of my depression.
8.  No flossing.  For either of us.

Wealthier:
Partial success.  I deposited $20 into Ladybug's account.  This is good.  I mismanaged my checking account last month.  This means that when I became overdrawn the bank took money from my savings account.  I am currently down to just about $6 in my account.  Which is very bad.  I plan to redeposit the money I lost very soon.  And I hope to make some additional deposits this month.  Just plan stupid. 

Wiser:
I learned that you can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.  Duh!  I had to share a room with my sister for a few days when we went to the funeral.  She has a terrible snoring problem.  By "terrible" I mean, my parents were in the room next door and they could hear it.  She has a cpap machine for this snoring problem.  She brought the cpap machine with her.  She did not wear it.  Not one night.  She needs it.  She has it.  She travels with it.  And she doesn't use it.  And as a result I didn't sleep much for 3 days.
