Lifestyle change

I am going to try to help this process along as much as I can. I haven't been doing a very good job of making healthy choices when it comes to my lifestyle. I'm making a change...
*Exercise-I haven't been walking like I'd like to, or like I use to. It's so hot outside, it's hard to find the right time. I'm going to start walking again, even if I have to walk around Wal-Mart to beat the heat.
*Water- I need to lay off the caffiene and pick up some water. I usually have at least one soda a day. While that's not terrible, I'd like to limit sodas to maybe once or twice a week.
*Diet-When it comes to my food choices...let's just say I'm an emotional eater. Some things I've read include:
*Pineapple-The compound Bromelin, found in pineapple is believed by many to increase the chances of success. Bromelin can dissolve the proteins which may inhibit implantation. Take an average sized pineapple and divide it into 5 portions. Eat a portion a day beginning with embryo transfer day.
*Spinach-Folic acid is one of the most important nutrients to consume while going through the IVF procedure, as well as once you become pregnant. Spinach is a sound source of folic acid, which will ensure healthy implantation as well as help prevent certain birth defects. Folic acid also contributes to the early development of an embryo. Eat a spinach salad or add spinach to pasta sauce. Other leafy greens, as well as orange juice, are additional sources of folic acid.
