Try a new kind of chocolate?

Also, I'm just wondering about some of those numbers. Is that 14.5 hours for art and viola an hour a week? Also, it's your project, but five pints of water a day is a lot: have you found that useful in the past? The idea that everyone should drink 8 cups her day--the usual U.S. version, and significantly less than what you have there--seems to have morphed from a misreading of the total water intake most people need, including what they get from salad, melon, juice, etc., possibly including tea. I know people vary, and if that is the amount that works for you, go for it, but I like water and it would feel like a burden for me, especially phrased as something to be done every day for 14.5 weeks.

Yes, an hour a week. I'm not planning on doing some extreme viola marathon!

I usually manage 5-7 pints of water a day, and feel much better when I hit the five. I suspect part of this is an encouragement to myself to choose water as the default rather than Diet Coke; I can easily manage 4 pints of Coke a day, at the expense of water, but it doesn't leave me feeling healthy.

New chocolate, eh? I shall have to go exploring...
