I received my electricity bill. And I have to admit to being pretty happy with it. At the same time last year I had used almost twice as much electricity. So with careful thinking and applying what I know (and it is all baby steps here) I will be happy to see where I stand this time next year.
I have been good with turning stuff off. Lights are a bit harder and I am chasing the girls with that but it will happen.
I also have reptiles as pets. I really love them but as I look at the changes in my life I am wondering if they will fit. I want to reduce my imprint and the reptiles need special lighting and heating which would not be helping anything. I keep thinking how much less would it be if I didn’t have their costs. The trouble is I really like them so for now I will look at other things.
I have also been trying to lose weight. And went on a programme to help reduce the weight. It worked but then I started to feel guilty for spending money on the programme. It is a good one but still really I think the best way to lose weight is to eat moderately and exercise. So I am going off the programme. I will move more and eat a little less but not deny myself things I enjoy. And we will see how it goes. I am not aiming to be thin but I am aiming to be healthier. And if I manage to save money at the same time woohoo.
