    I asked 3 of my neighbors to join me in an one hour walk by the beach this coming Friday evening and they have accepted. I did my 1.15 hr exercise routine last evening and felt great. I have so much energy and feel better than ever. I am happy!!!

    To save electricity, I have started watching TV with the lights off. I walked in the treadmill for 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes yesterday, I will do the same today so basically my exercise routine from now on will increase from 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes daily since I will walk for 45 minutes in the treadmill and spend 30 minutes working out in the rest of the machines.  I am feeling great today.

    Besides my morning exercises' routine this coming Saturday, my granddaughter and I are planning a gathering with two of her college friends and their mothers this coming Saturday evening for a long walk by the beach. I can't wait. It will be fun :)

    I used to drive to the dumpster to throw out the garbage, not any more, now I walk and by doing so I am adding more minutes to my daily 30 minutes walking in the treadmill

    I have added 15 more minutes to my daily exercise routine, I will now also be riding my bike for 15 minutes, 5 days a week, in the evening with one of my neighbors.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy
    How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

    I used to leave the microwave plugged all the time. Now I unplug it immediately after I use it.

    Adjusted the AC up 2 degrees, use fans more often. Wash clothes in cold water always. Turn off all electronics and appliances when not using them.
