Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Avoid refined sugar

Before you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?

Megha Kedia 10/09/2018 7:05 AM

I didn't think I was addicted to sugar, in fact quite good with managing sugar intake. However, sometimes i did consume sugary candy and dessert. Making a conscious choice to buy sustainable/organic sugar and reducing intake by once a week is my goal.

I thought my sustainable habits followed leading practices--until I reviewed all the challenges. I have a lot of room for improvement!

Food Smart Seafood Choices

Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

Erica Dornfeld 10/03/2018 11:10 AM

By asking more questions and paying attention to labels and signage, I am going to utilize the information I have learned from seafoodwatch.org to purchase sustainable seafood that will aid my health and the planet's.

  I think creativity has a lot to do with it. An example would be finding multiple uses for a single tool/object. Making one piece of furniture do multiple things. One of my favorite subjects.

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?

Angelisse M. Lucena Nazario 9/11/2018 8:36 AM

Already have a healthy life style, but want to be more aware about my food choices

  Absolutely agree with this. Pay up front (when purchasing) or pay at the end (doctor or medical facility). Michael Pollan is the best at giving out one-liners that are so thought provoking.
