It is the last day of the challenge, but I intend to keep going after the challenge is over.  It is really about making simple and sensible changes.  

It has been easier than I thought.  My Pilates class is so enjoyable, I don't mind giving up the computer or TV. 

I have been enjoying eating my meal without distraction and to talk to my family in person (face to face) the art that should not have been put on the back burner because it wasn't the new social media craze.  It's fun to look into your children's eyes and see joy and laughter bubbling over because you just used one of their cool terms totally wrong and then they just lol. :)

I could not change my challenge so in lieu of my friends and family garage sale we just donated all furniture and clothing and any unused small kitchen appliances to our local goodwill. 

I've found it's quite easy to save water. Fussing at my kids to "hurry up you have 5 mins" is fun Lol 

Today when I came home from work I went into my bedroom to get away from the family watching Monday night football.  While eating and talking to my daughter I absentmindedly turned he tv remote and then had to turn it off again, as mydaughter  looked at me as if I was crazy I began to discuss my personal goals for my Ecochallenge this week.  While she supports me she could not put down her cellphone and join in, young people wake up. 

The best part about eating meals with no distractions from TV, cellphones or computers is that you get to talk to each other and just remember old and new things that has happen to you that day or last week or even eons ago. :)

Instead of keeping my air on 78 I moved it up to 80. In the daytime at least. 

I will remove all teaching material out of the garage. I will do my best not to keep things I am not using.

I had parent teacher conferences this evening so I worked more than my 8 hours, well there is always tomorrow.
