How much does it cost to heat your home?

David was pleasantly surprised to find out it averaged him 2.4 cents/square foot per month to heat and cool his home in 2010.  His home is a ranch with a mother-in-law suite on a second floor.  The total square footage is approximately 4500.  Heating and cooling is provided by 2 geothermal systems and 1 gas furnace. 

We decided to run a comparison against Karen's house.  Karen's house is approximately 1883       square feet heated.  It is a ranch with a finished bonus room above the garage.  Her house is run by one 3-ton gas system. 

How to figure out your home using the figures from Karen's home.

Total of gas bills for 1 year   $873.07
Total of electric bills for 1 year   $2012.87

3 lowest gas bills totaled $88.05   Averaged $29.35
3 lowest elec bills totaled $189.59 Averaged $63.19

Multiply the average by 12 to get your lifestyle number.

$29.35 x 12=$352.20
$63.19 x 12=$758.35

Subtract the lifestyle number from the year total
$873.07 - $352.20=$520.87
$2012.87 - $758.35=$1257.59

Add these together and divide by the square footage to get your cost per square foot.

$520.87 + $1257.59=$1778.46/1883=$.094/sq ft

David  4500 sq ft at .024  Expense for year $1298
Karen  1883 sq ft at .094  Expense for year $2125

Karen is now saving up so SHE can have a geothermal system. 



Was weight loss a 2011 resolution?

Did you know you could burn calories by laughing? A study at Vanderbilt University showed you could lose up to 50 calories by laughing 10-15 minutes a day.  When laughing, people burned 20% more calories. Laughter has other health benefits that include stress reduction, immune system boosting, natural pain relief and increased blood flow (good for the heart) - no joking either.

Sadly your sense of humor is one of the first things that you lose on a diet. Let's try to remedy that. Enjoy some humorous thoughts and do a little laughercising.

 scale

When eating donuts - only eat the center part.

Weigh yourself with only one foot on the scale.

Keep a pit bull in the kitchen

Use Parental Block for the Food Network on your TV - Eat PIN Number/Password.

Eat your food with one chopstick

LMAO is a great way to reduce weight in the hindquarters.

Don't eat your evening meal before breakfast

Ladies - Drop 5 lbs. Instantly! Let go of your purse.

Instead of carrying your laptop around - start carrying your desktop PC.

Attach Full-Length Mirror to your Refrigerator Door.

Hang your bikini on the refrigerator.... definitely don't do that if you are a guy.

Remove wheels from your grocery cart.

Use Superglue As Lip Gloss

Only eat food that you can catch & kill with a toothpick

Like the silent tree falling in the forest.... food actually has no calories if no one sees you eating it

If you can't pronounce the ingredients.... you probably shouldn't eat it.

Swap dinner dishes with your pet - Kibbles n' Bits & Little Friskies make great appetite suppressants.

Eat that prime rib roast with a straw

Set a goal to lose as much weight as your stock portfolio has done in the last year.

You know you're overweight when your computer tells you that your @ is too big.

If you work at home.... walking to work should not be considered as daily exercise.


Hopefully you are losing weight & dropping calories at this very moment.
