My New Years Resolutions alittle bit late.... (Influenced by my recent dentist appt)

I had a rough day yesterday at the dentist. I found out I need to have some cavities filled to the tune of 1400 dollars! Times like this make me glad that I have found Dave Ramsey and am debt free except the house. I can't imagine having car payments and such AND having a bill at the dentist this large. I would probably be panicked instead of just sad that I am spending money on my teeth instead of buying something fun or saving for some future purchase. I was also informed that I have to take better care of my gums. I researched on the internet after my dentist appointment and found that stress can do a real number on your gums. I am definitely stressed, so yesterday I decided to make some real changes to my routine. I knew I should be exercising but I had chosen to catch up on sleep while Jocee was napping. Now I have chosen to hit the treadmill. The only thing I haven't figured out is what to do on the days when I am working. I want to stay disciplined and walk but haven't decided if I should do that after work or make myself get up at 5:30 am..... Any suggestions???? Another habit I need to break is my pop fix. I have been having a pop a day but I am not a chug it and leave it gal. I sip on it which is VERY bad for your teeth. So I am going to have to say good-bye to my Diet Dr. Pepper :( A small thing in the whole scope of my life but right now that was my stress reliever and I get to replace it with exercise! It is kinda hard to retrain your brain that exercise is a treat....
