"Live with Less" Challenge

Oprah's "Live with Less" Challenge. While I was working out I watched a recorded Oprah. Now I don't watch Oprah on a regular basis, but I do DVR them so if there is an episode that is interesting to me I can watch one. Anyhow on Thursday's show Oprah had two families that participated in a ''Live with Less'' challenge. These families did without the 'pleasures' of life for 1 full week. 'Pleasures meaning: TV, Computer, Video games, Eating Out, No water bottles, disposable plates, cups, etc., a high thermostat, long showers, and so on. I watched, thinking that some of these things would definately be a challenge for me, and then some would be no problem. The rules are 1 hour of TV daily, Computer use only for homework, Use a water bottle and use filtered water, 5 minute showers. I have thought about it and I am going to take on the challenge. I am going to take on the challenge. Today I will start this challenge.Wish me luck.
Here is the link to Oprah's "Live with Less" Challenge. Oprah had written a detailed letter to each family of the rules of the challenge.

I haven't seen Oprah for a long time, but did happen to catch that one and I told Matt all about it. You're better than me though - cuz I didn't walk away challenging myself. Good luck!

I think that sounds so awesome! I would love to do that, take a break from those thing that we over indulge ourselves with so often. It sounds so refreshing. Good luck.

I saw the commercial for that episode and wanted to watch. I'm sad I missed it, because sometimes I really feel like we could "live with less." Make sure you post on how things went...maybe we'll be joining you on the challenge.

Hey Heather,
I am so sad I missed your baby shower. I can't wait to see your baby, though. Congratulations! Tell Rob hi! Maybe we can stop by sometime and see her when we go to St. George?
