I like a structured workout

I am someone who thrives setting goals and achieving them.

It’s the only way I can motivate myself is to feel good about the accomplishment.

I set tests for myself that are challenging. Sometimes, I set those goals a bit too high. It’s been like this for most of my life. Even as a little kid, I was obsessed with my batting average, my running speed and the number of push ups I could do. The goals were sometimes impossible and led to disappointment. I am very hard on myself. It got so intense that my Dad had me take a season off from the baseball team. I simply moved onto some other challenge. This personality trait has been rather helpful when it comes to my physical fitness. I am a member at a health and fitness center. I workout with a personal training center who holds me accountable. At the start of every session, I get weighed on the scale and my BMI is measured. We chart my progress. There are multiple data points that I strive for and then utilize to support my workout program and maximize the benefits. The one on one fitness coaching is essential to me determining a reasonable set of immediate and long term goals and achieving results. The local gym I once belonged to didn’t put any emphasis on tracking our progress. I need a knowledgeable personal trainer to help me with technique and structure so I don’t get carried away. Having this strict regiment keeps me from pushing myself too hard and potentially causing injury. I know exactly how much weight I can lift, how far I can run and how long to stay on the elliptical. Although I’m always tempted to add another rep, more weight and even a second workout at the end of the day, I stick to the program because it works. I prefer the personal fitness program to the group fitness training classes. With the group stuff, there’s very little personal accountability. I like the customized workout program as a training method.

Improving my life through program at the gym

I have an addictive personality.

This has caused some problems in life.

Various substances take hold of me and I tend to overdo. I have struggled against addiction for most of my adult life and it has led to some tough challenges. A big step for me was to channel this personality trait into something positive. I am now focused on a wellness and recovery program. I am fortunate that my company started a corporate wellness program. This has helped me get the guidance and support I needed. Health and wellness is essential to overcoming and managing addiction over the long term. I followed a recommendation to a local health and fitness center that is a part of a recovery program. I’ve benefited from the help of certified fitness experts as well as nutritional counseling. Along with going to the gym for a strict workout program, I am also there to adjust my state of mind. I participate in fitness training classes with people who are also focused on recovery and improving well being. Joining that group, in that setting, has certainly made a lasting improvement for me. I have shared my struggles and successes with them. These people can relate to what I am going through. We are working together as well as individually to achieve progress. I am making an effort to realize my potential and embrace peak health, wellness and fitness. I am convinced that with guidance and encouragement of this professional program has made all of difference. I have begun to achieve my personal goals and set new ones.

Need to make it a gas fireplace instead

One of the reasons my boyfriend and I bought our apartment was because of the gigantic fireplace the den had.

The fireplace took up an entire wall.

It’s made of big, heavy stones with a wood hearth as well as mantle. It is the focal point of the house. We were excited to heat our apartment with wood. We built a fire a single time, and chopping down trees as well as cutting them into logs was a horrible job. It was tiring, labor-intensive as well as time-consuming. Every one of us then had to drag that wet, dirty, heavy wood into the apartment as well as across our brand new rug. I had a lot of trouble getting the fire started. I dealt with smoke, ashes, fumes as well as flames. If we sat right near the fire, it became hot. When you moved further away, it was far too cold. It was a messy as well as unpleasant experience. I was not excited about having an enormous fireplace that served no purpose. I did some research online as well as noticed that I can convert the wood-burning fireplace into a natural gas heater. I called a nearby Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C business as well as got a quote for installing a natural gas insert. The cost wasn’t as much as I thought it would be. I am looking forward to the ability to turn the fireplace on as well as off with the press of a button on a wireless remote. I’ll be able to raise as well as lower the temperature as well as even adjust the fan speed if I want to. With no work, we’ll enjoy the look of a roaring fire as well as none of the work and aftercare. Gas fireplaces are quite energy smart, quiet as well as safe. They require little service as well as spread the heat evenly within the space.

A foul odor in the house

Last summertime, my partner as well as a few buddies spent the day on a fishing boat.

  • They went out on a boat as well as caught a ton of fresh fish.

The captain of the boat handled all of the processing of the fish so that we ended up with sealed containers that were ready to cook. I prepared a few of the fish on the grill, as well as it was honestly a delicious meal. It required very little seasoning as well as was a lovely meal. I froze the rest of the fish as well as forgot about it until the winter. I thought it would be nice to surprise my partner to have it for dinner. Because of the cold as well as snow, I baked the fish on the stove. The smell was just terrible. The entire apartment reeked of fish. It was so bad that none of us could rest to actually eat the fish. With temperatures in the negative digits, I couldn’t open the windows to air out the house. The smell got into the HVAC duct as well as spread to every single room. I assumed it would dissipate within a few days, however it seemed to only get worse. I washed, vacuumed, lit scented candles as well as sprayed the room with disinfectant, nothing worked. I finally called an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business for assistance. He told me that buildup of dust as well as other contaminants in the HVAC duct had absorbed the odor. He commanded duct cleaning as well as the replacement of an air cleaner. The duct cleaning process removed the accumulation of debris that was otherwise restricting airflow through the system.

A winery ductless unit

Starting with my pops, my family has made their living as grape farmers in the north. The weather in this area is wonderful for growing grapes. The super cold temperatures in the Winter season allow the plants to go dormant as well as rest. The rainy Springtime weather as well as warm as well as humid summertimes encourage quick growth as well as ripening. Every one of us farm tons of acres of grapes as well as sell them to make juice, jam as well as jelly. A few years back, my dad as well as I decided to try wine-making. While the process is rather complex, labor-intensive and takes a lot of time, every one of us actually loves it. Every one of us managed to produce a very flavorful white wine. Although we started out making just a few dozen bottles, our enterprise has steadily risen. It led us to getting licensed to commercially sell wine, as well as we’ve built a winery to deal with the process. Aging the wine requires stable year round temps. Dad and I can’t allow the summertime heat or freezing cold Winter seasons to affect the indoor environment, but since this is an emerging business with no guarantees of a profit, every one of us didn’t want to invest a ton of currency into a heating as well as cooling system. We looked for something affordable, compact yet powerful. After a whole lot of research, dad and I decided to install a ductless mini split system. This has proven to be fantastic. There is an outdoor compressor that connects to an indoor air handler by way of a conduit, and for the replacement process, we only needed a small hole in an exterior wall.

Glad I got a new portable a/c device

I was given an old window cooling system by our brother when he moved down south.

He’d gotten the cooling component used as well as had it for nearly 3 years.

The a/c was super big as well as seriously heavy, but it put out a tremendous amount of cold air. It was capable of cooling our whole house down in a few hours, even on the hottest as well as most humid mornings of summer. The cooling device was rather noisy however at least it drowned out the sound of birds, cats meowing as well as traffic. I got used to the loud banging of it as well as slept actually well. I didn’t like carrying that bulky a/c up to the attic every fall as well as bringing it back down in the Spring. The attic stairs are small, steep as well as difficult to walk up. By the time I got the cooling wherever it needed to go, I usually had shoulder problems. Last year, I had some trouble hauling the a/c component down from the attic. It fell out of my hands as well as bounced all the way down the steps. It caused considerable destruction to the stairway as well as busted into about 25 pieces. I was seriously upset as well as not excited with the need to buy a new cooling device. Then I saw the improvements in cooling technology. All of the models on sale at the local hardware store were about 50% the size of our ancient cooling. They were also very light. I had no trouble carrying the box to the car or installing the component in our family room window.

Your HVAC can last longer with relaxed temperature control settings

However, just like everything else, with a little time the whole thing became relatively normal

Finding a good amount of comfort plus being able to manage change is often elusive plus challenging to find. I happen to be entirely resistant to change in general, at least when it comes to my own personal life. But, it’s really just a part of life that the people I was with and I all have to deal with. The lake residence I share with my family is in a part of the country where the sunlight shines basically all the time. And the weather is perfect for about 8 months out of the year. Then, there are the depths of the summer months where the heat is totally overwhelming. I find that our Heating plus Air Conditioning machine simply runs plus runs during this particular timeframe. The change I’m dealing with now is the effort the people I was with and I are making to ease the burden on our Heating plus Air Conditioning machine. Our heating & cooling equipment needs to last another decade at least. So this is why the people I was with and I are attempting to ease up on it in order to get a good amount of longevity out of it. Plus, it’s not too awful to save some additional currency on it as well. From the start, the current Heating plus Air Conditioning machine setting did not work too well for me or my spouse. Even though we easily understood the reasoning behind what we were doing with the Heating plus Air Conditioning machine, it was still pretty tough at first. However, just like everything else, with a little time the whole thing became relatively normal. Now, it seems fairly normal to have a fan on during the daylight hours or pull the curtains to lessen the effects of direct sunlight heating. All in all, between the savings plus getting the max from our Heating plus Air Conditioning machine in terms of longevity, this change has been worth it for us.

So this is why we are really trying to ease up on it in order to get the most longevity out of it. Plus, it’s not too awful to save some cash on it as well. From the very start, the current Heating and A/C equipment setting did not go over all that well with me or my wifey. Even though we were able to understand the reasoning behind what we were doing with the Heating and A/C equipment, it was not very easy at first. However, just like everything else, with a little time the whole thing became quite normal. Now, it seems normal to have a fan turned on in the day or pull the curtains to lessen the effects of direct daylight heating. All in all, between the savings and getting the most from our Heating and A/C equipment in terms of longevity, this change has been a good thing for us.
