#79 - Start and maintain a flossing routine (daily)

I have been flossing consistently for just about 6 months now. My last post about this was in December which was shortly before I got a retainer that I am wearing at night. I floss every night before I put it in! Some nights I remember to floss but forget the retainer. This is obviously an on going process, but I am going to mark this complete now that it has become a solid habit (a good one! YAY!).

#79 - Start and maintain a flossing routine (daily)

I have been flossing daily for over 2 months now!  I missed only 1 day because I was feeling very sick (I had a migraine for 2 weeks) and just could not stay awake for another 2 minutes to floss.  I am only finding a speck of blood on occasion (mostly because of digging out popcorn hulls, lovely, right?) and it doesn't hurt at all anymore.  I will check this off entirely after another few months of solid flossing.

#82 - Get a work-appropriate cardigan/sweater

I got a new red cardigan at Ross in November.  It was a struggle.  The store was super crowded and the line was halfway to the back of the store.  After waiting in line for 15 minutes, I realized the sweater I picked had a hole in it.  Got out of line, back to the sweaters.  Found one that was the next size up (probably a good thing, it's a little more cozy) with no holes.  Went back to the line and waited for THIRTY MINUTES to check out.  Yikes.  No more shopping on Saturdays for me. 

I mostly like the cardigan.  For some reason, it has a hood (which is dumb), but it is a pretty red/rust color and even has a pocket. Yay.  Now I have 3 cardigans to wear to work so I don't feel like I am wearing the same thing every day.

#79 - Start and maintain a flossing routine (daily)

I found a great resource for printing out a calendar which I now have hanging in the bathroom.  I've been flossing since October 1st!  Okay, so that is just 3 days of flossing so far, but it is going well.  "They" say it takes 30 days of doing something for it to become habit, but that has not worked in the past for me and flossing, so if I have to keep printing out calendars (or maybe figure out how to make one reusable) I will keep doing it!

#75 - Keep my hair maintained (ie, 1/2 trim every 2 months)

This has not been happening so far!  I missed my first hair cut in August, and now I am already a week behind for the 2nd one (which is more like 9 weeks behind for the first one).  I'm hoping to have my first trim in before the end of the month and then I will need to adjust my 2 month reminders.
