After 3 weeks of this new lifestyle I have lost 15 pounds and a pant size. I am sleeping better, feel healthier, spending more time doing more important things, less time plugged in, and getting a bit of my manhood back after no job. I am providing for my family again which may not seem like much but for me its a big deal after the last two years of marriage. The last piece if this puzzle is to get this diet nailed down. Off Grid Living does make eating a problem when coming from a world of electricity and in demand things like heat to cook on and is currently my biggest struggle with the lifestyle switch. Hannahs seems to be hot water. Not plumbing, the composting toilet doesnt bother her but not having on demand hot water with pressure is taking some getting used to for her. The kids and I dont care. Making the switch doesnt happen over night and living this way requires sacrifices some arent willing to make. But in the end all the creature comforts will be here for us they will just be different behind the scenes. Before the fall the house, heat, water, and food will be taken care of. I have to spend all late summer and autumn chopping wood for winter, gets you in really good shape for dealing with the snows and hauling things during the winter while keeping my family warm in the process. Thats the off grid mind set though...winter is coming.
