    I have been trying to reduce my sugar intake, take five minute showers, spend more time outside, and eat more fruits and vegetables. When it comes to reducing my sugar intake i’ve actually noticed how much better and healthier I feel. Normally when i would eat sugar my stomach would feel heavy, and I would feel gross. When it comes to taking five minute showers it has been a little hard, but I have more time on my hands than wasting water for a 15+ shower. When it comes to eating more fruits a vegetables, I again feel healthier, but it has been a little hard because I am picky and Whitney does not always have the best options. Spending more time outside has been really relaxing especially since it is starting to warm up. It only gets hard when the weather is gross. Ultimately by doing these daily actions, I have been noticing a difference for the better.
