I'm assuming you mean one of those little trampolines? I want one of them! In fact, I was thinking the other day, as I jogged in place in my living room (not up to leaving the house right now), that I wanted to get one to make it easier to get some sort of cardiovascular exercise. Kewl!
And I have a water filter (we live in an area with REALLY lousy water -- some days we have to shower twice, to get the smell of the first shower off of us) and use water from it for anything for consumption. We've actually gone to bottled water for the cats -- one has kidney failure -- but we use the filtered water for coffee, cooking, etc. I drink the bottled water from our local BigBoxClubStore (Costco/Price Club -- they do support the local community, so I don't sweat the morality of shopping there), which is just so easy that it seems worth the $13 per week for two cases. I know that if I had to keep refilling bottles, I would drift into drinking something easier -- like diet pepsi. So, we buy the two cases a week of water, and I drink it. (And they lied when they said that it would help my skin. My face is still dry and scaling and peeling. Oh, well...)
If it helps, providing you measure your coffee intake by the cup and not the pot, I will hereby absolve you of all guilt -- until you want some more guilt over it at any rate. I used to control my coffee consumption by making one full pot in the morning, and carrying it with me in a thermos. Once it was gone, I was done with coffee for the day. Man, I felt so virtuous cutting back so much! LOL! These days, I really don't drink coffee, but I do drink Pepsi One -- basically, diet pepsi -- in the mornings. And that's cut back from drinking it all day. (My husband is diabetic, and he drinks diet drinks all day long. The only other thing he ever drinks is espresso. I keep hoping he'll cut back and work on being healthier, but no signs as yet.)
Good luck to you!
