I learned to plan my errands and appointments so that I only go out once and no backtracking. It's not something I thought about before, conserving gas and reducing my impact on the environment.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Exercise Daily

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

Theresa Combs 10/09/2018 8:58 AM

My sister in law and I have a friendly exercise challenge going. We will text a pic to each other after we workout. That gives us plenty to talk about and catch up on, different workouts, if they were fun or not, how we felt the next day. The workouts are always more enjoyable if we can get outdoors. The weather here is crazy unpredictable, so there is treadmill as the back up everyday.

Theresa Combs 10/09/2018 8:55 AM

My struggle has been picking up my phone when I am laying down to sleep. I've started having it in a different room and if I am struggling to fall asleep I will pick up a book instead. My eyes get tired real quick while reading at night and then I fall asleep quicker.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Meet My Local Farmers

When you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? Do you think this might enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?

Theresa Combs 10/04/2018 12:39 PM

It's great to know where you food is coming from, how the animals are treated, or what it put in soil to grow your veggies. I discovered a local milk delivery company, the milk is 24-48 hours fresh by time it hits your doorstep. No travelling or preservatives. I signed up for milk and eggs weekly. I love that I am supporting a small business, keeping the money in our community and helping a family grow their business.

No Refined Sugar! Drinking ice cold water instead of soda, and making my own coffee creamer at home feels great:)
