Health Exercise Daily

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

Amy Merrill 10/23/2019 3:58 AM

Currently my exercise program isn't much, but every day my coworker and I have been taking a 20-30 minute walk. It has been great to get out of the office and talk on our walks.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Whole Foods Diet

Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this idea?

Amy Merrill 10/23/2019 3:56 AM

I know I have definitely started feeling better now that I am eating better, I have been able to eliminate some of the medicines I have been taking.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Amy Merrill 10/23/2019 3:49 AM

Depending on the store, most of the time I carry the items out in my hand if I don't bring a bag in. I keep a stack of reusable bags in my car so that I have them when I go to the store.

  I agree, the majority of the time I carry reusable bags in my car. If I do not have them in my car, I will purchase a reusable bag or if I have a few items I will carry them in a cart or my hands. Also, I have used Kroger's or Meijer's, etc. plastics bags, I have brought them back to the store. The grocery stores has a container for reusable plastic bags to recycle.
