Hey guys,This week was a little rough getting the daily challenges accomplished. I was scheduled more hours than usual at work. This made it hard to have the motivation to go for a 30 minute walk each day. I only was able to go 3/7 day of the week. I still think having the mindset of trying to get yourself out of your comfort zone pushes you...

So far I think my challenge is going well. Im trying to reduce the amount of electricity I use by unplugging everything besides my fridge when I'm not using it. I got my roommate involved too so its fun for the both of us to try our best and unplug things when were not using it. This will save money on electricity bills.

I can prevent accumulating more things in the future by only buying things that I really need, and to not impulse buy things. If I think about it for a certain period of time and still want to buy it then I can, but if I come to the conclusion that I can live without it or I simply forget about it then I will not purchase it.
