Prayer: Sovereign Lord, I praise You for Your wondrous work in history, in Your people and in my life. You are faithful to keep every promise, even though the wait sometimes seems long. Help me to trust You, rest in Your faithfulness and wait joyfully for You.

The Zero Waste Challenge - First Five Products :)

The average person produces 4.4lbs of trash per day. Over a lifetime, that's thousands of pounds of trash for just one person ending up in a landfill!! Plastic products never completely go away, yet there are the world's most popular way to package products. They are never fully recycled into an equally useful product, and the majority of the plastic is lost and reduced to a lower quality. Looking for alternatives such as metal and glass which are both 100% recyclable is absolutely necessary! Plastic is filling our oceans and even entering our food! We must start saying no to plastic and finding alternatives to both reduce our way and reduce our carbon footprint. We all have a short journey on this beautiful planet, let's try to leave it better than we found it 💕

Here are the first 5 easy steps towards going zero-waste I am taking: 

1. Bamboo Cutlery Set

As in incoming college student, lets just say I would be lying to myself I didn’t expect to be eating out once my meal plans feel a little extra bland. Plastic utensils are non-recyclable and have got to go! This is a great conversation starter and something all little environmental nerds would love to get in on.

2. Bamboo Toothbrushes 

The ones I bought are even numbered one to five which I thought was such a cute idea to keep track of your usage! Again if you’d spend $1 and change on a toothbrush anyways, I mean why not help the environment and invest in these?

3. Shampoo and Conditioner Bars

I was expecting larger sizes for these so I am posting a different link for larger, longer lasting, and more affordable bars, than the ones I bought! It is worth the extra few bucks because of how much better these bars are for your hair. Do not be fooled! They last just as long for the individual as your normal shampoo and conditioner. It’s a switch you won’t regret.

4. Safety Razor

Safety Razors are amazing! A great, rewarding investment to be making. They are long lasting if taken care of (dry and store safely after use to prevent rusting). I dry mine off with a small towel and store it in the case. The blades last a month or longer!! If you want to go through the extent of rubbing the blade with rubbing alcohol periodically it really can last for a few months! This is a game changer. Absolutely no pressure should be used when using this product, simply glide it at a 30 degree angle to prevent any minor cuts, and enjoy your cleaner, sharper shave! :)

5. 100% Organic Wool Dryer Balls

A re-usable fabric softer and drying time reducer! This is especially helpful for people like me who want to spend less time waiting for the dryer to finish, because she forgot to do the laundry! Or even for reducing the amount wrinkles that end up on my clothing :)

The first five people to respond to this post will receive a book 📚 this year...But, only the #firstfive. The book will be chosen especially for the person that will receive it. And I will decide how and when the book is delivered. Perhaps I will invite you out for coffee ☕️ or perhaps I will send it via mail. The only criteria is that you post this challenge to your wall, offering five books to five people. They don’t have to be new books or your books. Just books selected for each individual.

First 5 days

Range of emotions. My first day, Friday, was by far the hardest…. partly because I wasn’t at work and didn’t have something steadily distracting me from old habits. I craved instant gratification… everything from eating whatever sounded good, to just looking up answers I needed on google (I wanted to stay off my phone/computer)… coffee was another huge issue ..

Each day got progressively better, and I’m not going to lie– I’ve given in to certain things, and deviated from my original plan for my 30 day challenge . One thing has stuck though: I’m eating healthier, drinking more water , and not nearly scrolling as often. I’m more aware of the things that I’m eating and the things I am doing , which is a great first step! Essentially my breakfast and lunches are the same every day , which keeps my “thinking” to minimal as far as making healthy choices . I have ate breakfast at home and taken my lunch every day so far ! That in itself is a huge accomplishment for me! I’ve saved $$ too !!

For breakfast, I’ve ate my egg muffins that have bell peppers, onions and a tiny bit of bacon (which don’t last much longer than 2 days in the fridge by the way….) and 1 slice of toasted Dave’s Killer Bread “sprouted whole grain"with a tbs if coconut oil. One morning I had a string cheese and a piece of toast after I realized the muffins don’t last as long as I originally thought..

For lunch I’ve had 4 oz of shredded chicken (or canned white chicken), ½ cup of cottage cheese, and ¼ cup of dried cranberries.

When I have time for snacks, between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner, I have a string cheese and a banana or just a string cheese .

Dinner includes chicken or eggs, and a carb. A couple of nights I’ve had scrambled eggs and toast and the other nights I had baked chicken with sweet potato. Going forward, I would like to include fresh vegetables- like a nice salad, or carrots/broccoli/cauliflower with dinner .

Protein/carb combos help keep me full longer and curbs my hunger until my next snack or meal.

When I was pregnant, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I learned about combining proteins with carbs and was given a certain allowance for each meal and snack, which I’ve tried to adhere to with this meal plan .. after I stop breastfeeding entirely, I will try and restrict my daily carb count gradually each month, as I plan on staying on a similar diet entirely.

I decided I’m going to continue drinking coffee and make it a long term goal, with minimizing gradually….Instead of the brewed coffee though, with 3 pumps of white chocolate and 3 of cinnamon dolce and half and half, I’m getting shots of espresso over ice with one inch of chocolate milk .. which is 6.5 carbs vs 50!!! And only $1.50-1.90, depending on where ya go ..

I’ve checked fb, but don’t scroll while I’m laying in bed or if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep… The first day was the hardest, only because of habit. Like eating, it’s progressively been getting easier . And I don’t miss it …deleting the app on my phone has helped a ton because I’m not getting constant notifications. I feel a bit more rested in the morning and it has helped to shut my mind of at night ..

My goal for the day was 15k steps, and I’m hitting 10k every day…. which is a little bit of a challenge with it raining outside, which I’m realizing as I’m writing this….. it’s an excuse . My plan for this next week, is to make a point after work to go for a walk. And on my days off, in addition to going for a walk, complete 30 minutes of Piyo (beach body dvd) .

In the first 5 days I have lost 5lbs, and already feel like I have more energy!

Goals this next week: including more fresh vegetables with dinner, taking an extra 5k steps, workout dvds on days off, meditating, and studying photography.
