Heating work and eating more food

I mainly eat salads and healthy foods like that at home, and I have removed all sugar and sweets from my kitchen and it is better this way because I have no willpower when it comes to stuff like that

I lost a bunch of weight the past two weeks with this nasty flu that I had, and now I have to try and eat a bit more to put it back on again. My body tends to run light and when I am sick like that I really lose weight quickly. So now I have to hit the weights a bit more and try to up my protein intake till I get back to my normal weight once again. I think I weigh about half of what my friends back home weigh, as most of them work in heating and cooling and eat out at restaurants way too often. I eat at home basically all the time and like to keep it that way so I spend less and eat better food. The local businesses have some tasty food and it can be easy to eat there all the time, but the air conditioned restaurants don’t care as much about your health as you do so it is better to only frequent them once in a while. I mainly eat salads and healthy foods like that at home, and I have removed all sugar and sweets from my kitchen and it is better this way because I have no willpower when it comes to stuff like that. The HVAC tech got me into a zero sugar diet a few years back when she told me that it is better for your health to avoid sugars, which is great because it gives me more money to run the climate control system in my flat.

 

 

More about air conditioning

11am means air con time

I think I have the energy to write one more story before I go and eat my breakfast.

Yesterday I had papaya and kefir and I may do the same thing again because it tasted really good.

I normally eat an apple and kefir but I decided to change it up a bit this time and try something new. Papaya is really good for digestion with the enzymes it contains and the kefir has a good amount of probiotics, so along with all of the vitamins in the food I am also getting some other valuable nutrients. Working as an HVAC expert requires a lot of energy, especially when you are moving heavy HVAC equipment, so having a good filling breakfast is key to being productive all day. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables each day and I also cut out all sugar from my diet to save my teeth and joints. The heating supplier told me the other day that he has to get all of his molars replaced for $20K, so I am trying to be extra good to my teeth so I can avoid that kind of situation. I grind my teeth at night and I wore down my molars quite a bit, but I’ve been wearing a bite plate for years now and I think I saved them just in the nick of time. The local business is going to check out my teeth next week and clean them in the air conditioned office and hopefully that is all I need this time. But I may get them bleached too, let’s see.

Eight washable filters arriving today

I am in the middle of my workday right now and am going to take a little break soon and go outside for some fresh air.

I need to go shopping today but I will wait for the lull at the store, which is around 3pm or so, as that is when most of the morning shoppers are done for the day.

The people who work usually go shopping around 5pm or so and I like to be out of the store before then so I don’t get stuck in long lines at checkout. The store is nice with its air conditioning running in it to keep all the food cool, which is great during the summer because you get free climate control when you shop. I have to buy 10 kefirs and cat stuff, which will cost me about $20 and set us all up for the next two weeks more or less. I like the refrigeration at the store because it keeps the food so fresh and you can buy a lot of it and store it in your own refrigeration for another week and a half. I only shop three times a month and like doing it this way as opposed to shopping a couple times a week and just buying a little at a time. The HVAC system at the store must cost a lot of money yet they seem to keep their prices low enough that it doesn’t break the bank each time you go there. I will head out now and go for a short ride, see you later.

Hanging out with the local contractor

Today is shopping day and I am going to load up basically on cat food, cat litter, and kefir.

That is pretty much all I need to hold me over for the next week or so and to keep my cats happy and quiet.

I use this silica gel cat litter, which you only need to clean once every two weeks with two cats, and it makes for an easy time when it comes to the litter box. If you have one cat the litter is supposed to last for a month, but my two cats half that equation. Heating and cooling are not needed right now in the middle of May, which is great because my power bills have been really low now for the past few months and should stay that way for another month before it is time to employ my air con system once again. I can live in this flat for about $700 a month total, which is a pretty good deal considering it is a new flat and is located really close to the sea. I was paying about $550 four years ago and that was for a flat without any climate control. The flat was also really old and quite dirty, so paying 200 more a month this many years later is still a pretty low cost for living in a nice place. I like having a central HVAC system because I don’t have to tote a small space heater from room to room in the winter time to stay warm. Life is pretty darn good over here.
