As I continue my quest to cut out meat for three days this week, I hit an interesting "bump in the road." Due to some scheduling conflicts, my mom's side of the family had our Thanksgiving get-together this past Saturday. Not planning ahead too well, that fell together with my last no-meat day. I am not a huge fan of Thanksgiving turkey, but it was quite a struggle to not pick at the turkey while waiting to eat dinner together. Since there were two other vegetarians at the gathering, we had some vegetarian options to substitute for the turkey stuffing and gravy and such. I gobbled these right up as they were quite delicious and soon after eating way too much of all the sides, I didn't miss the turkey at all. Other than this interesting habit change, cutting meat out has become a nice habit I have come into.
I took a four minute shower this week and I'm pretty proud of that. Still going for the solid two minutes, but I still have another week. My electricity usage has been cut way down because i dont leave my laptop charger plugged in all the time. Instead, I plugged it into a power strip and turn the strip on when I need it and off when I'm through.
Still working with the office manager to start the recycling program because I'm determined to be successful here. The employees here throw away way too many recyclable items and it can easily be changed.
