Two weeks ago, I planned out three steps on how I am going to reduce my ecological footprint.I had an eye-opening experience and it came to my attention that I needed to change up the way I live.

My three goals are:

1. Take James Bond showers.
2. Participate in meatless-Mondays.
3. Ride my bike to the gym (at least 5 times a week).

It is no lie that change is hard. The one goal that has been really giving me trouble is meatless-Mondays. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s just that I keep forgetting.

Last Monday (4/13), I slipped up. I woke up that morning, grind-ed up my coffee beans, french pressed my coffee, and made a hamburger. I am one of those weird individuals that really enjoys dinner for breakfast. I will always eat my leftovers from the night before. But on a high-note, I didn’t eat any other meat after breakfast.

Yesterday (4/21), I slipped up once again. I didn’t eat a hamburger for breakfast, or even for lunch. But I did eat taco’s with ground beef for lunch.

I swear I am going to get better at this. Since I have lot’s of dietary restrictions to begin with (deathly allergic to wheat, milk, chicken, and seafood) it’s really hard to cut one more thing out of my diet. I know that I am making excuses, and it’s only one day out of the week. I am determined that I will be able to do meatless-Mondays.

My house recently updated their smoothie-blender and this will be a great way for my to obtain some extra protein. The protein powder that I currently use is Vega-Sport and is completely vegan (it cost an arm and a leg though!). If Vega-Sport could sponsor me for weight lifting send me free jug’s of protein powder, I would be greatly appreciative. HMU Vega-Sport.

On a brighter note, I have biked to the gym every single time. I actually saw Russell when I was trekking up the High Street hill by the gym, and he yelled from a distance, “BURN THAT CARBON CODY!!!”. So there is actual proof that I have been fulfilling that goal. Overall, Biking to the gym is a great warm-up for my work-out and reduces my overall footprint.

The James Bond showers are more like half James Bond, half Cody Hulsey showers at the moment. They aren’t completely James Bond yet, but they are getting there. I am confident that I will have achieved full-James Bond within the next few days. It’s pretty hard to jump into a freezing cold shower when you have just woken up.

Like I stated earlier, change is hard. But I am a determined human-being that is willing to sacrifice some of my guilty pleasures for the overall greater good of society.
