Week 4

Challenge Journal 19/4/15

This was a much more relaxing week as it was the first week of holidays, and I was determined to get back on track with my water saving goal. I made the decision that I wasn’t going to do much the first week of holidays and I was just going to rest up and play video games. This was also my chance to skip out on hygiene and reduce my water savings, and that’s exactly what I did! I managed to skip out on shower for 3 days this week and went 2 days without showering in a row. I felt really dirty but I had to tough it out keep to my goals the main effect of this was I washed my face a lot, when I did shower I used A LOT of soap. My hair was probably the most annoying part as it got really greasy. Not showering wasn’t that bad I just made sure I had a lot of deodorant on before I went outside. I am very pleased with my progress this week as it was my most successful so far I used a tiny 317 litres of water this week, compared to last week which was 767 litres. And I was well below the target of 355 litres. I definitely wouldn’t brag about skipping showers but it has been an effective strategy.
