    I think this was the hardest for me since so many foods in the US have refined sugars. Sometimes it is hard to even notice you are having them.

    I think this has already become a habit. I used to be somewhat conscious about it but this helped me fully aware of it and now I will do it without thinking about it.

    We did not turn the heater off at night again, and I remembered to unplug my laptop before going to sleep

    The only sugar I had today was a little of brown sugar on my coffee. I don't know if that counts as refined sugar or not

    This has been the hardest of the challenges I chose because over the weekend I tend to forget to watch my diet but today I remembered and stayed away from refined sugars, opting for fruits and water.

    I cannot think of what to write here anymore as this has become a habit already. I even encourage my roommate to unplug her things and sometimes I do it for her since she forgets.

    I almost forgot to unplug my phone charger in the morning so I had to run back upstairs before going to class. I am also proud I remembered to turn off the heater in the morning.

    It seems like I am now in charge of turning the heater off in the morning because we have classes and most of the time no one is home until 4-5 pm

    We turned off the heating system at night and I got up after almost falling asleep to turn off our led lights.

    I was craving something sweet but instead of going for candy or bottled juice I ate a peach!
