The hardest part was not producing trash on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, when I went home for the weekend and went to two high school football games. I didn't eat any of the food at the concessions stand and took all of my drink bottles back to my house to recycle. The only difficulty was being aware of what I was doing and preparing for it. On Friday and Saturday, I ate before I left for the game and didn't eat again until I got home. I was still able to enjoy the game without the usual football food. The not producing trash has actually become somewhat of a contest with myself.
Now to the shortened showers and only one a day. The shortened showers has actually help me be on time for some of my classes in the morning that I am usually late to. The shortened showers is probably the easiest thing on my list.
Not eating meat for these three days was really difficult, because of what I saw as limited food choices. Now of course my food choices aren't limited. I saw myself eating a salad and cheese pizza for lunch on Wednesday and Friday. And for dinner I usually went out and chose something that would help me not eat meat. The hardest part was not eating meat on Saturday and being at home. Luckily, my Dad understood and provided an alternative.
The "Lifestyle Project" has become somewhat of a test with myself for me to see how I can handle these changes and so far I have been really proud with myself.
