    I wanted to push myself a bit with this challenge, so I signed up for more challenges than required. First, I chose to update manual thermostats in my home to programmable ones because we have 2 heaters and over 8 thermostats in my home as every room has its own control. This is good and bad. Good because you can control your individual temperature but bad from an energy perspective. Some rooms are adjusted constantly and some none at all. As programmable thermostats can be expensive, I will commit to replacing 2. Second, I already do about 30 mins a day of daily exercising but wanted to increase this to 60 mins. I have very little time in the day for the 30 mins now so trying to do 60 mins will be good for me to commit to.  And last, I go to the grocery often as I buy things for only what we need daily, and I always feel the need to have a plastic bag for my items even it is one or two items. I will commit to no plastic bags if I buy less than 5 items.
