Update

So, does anyone remember my post about a month ago in which I wrote out my thoughts on fast food, buying from big corporations, and the like? I thought I would give y'all a little update on how things are going.

I've completely ditched Taco Bell at this point. Since my last post, I've only eaten Taco Bell once, and it was just cheesy fiesta potatoes. I've been trying to eat McDonald's less as well, but that's been harder. I have at least been trying not to eat at the McDonald's and Marino's Pizza across the street from Spring Arbor, because they're the easiest fast food-type places to get to from here. I've also been eating a lot more salads lately, and have been feeling relatively healthier in general. Several of my friends have been trying to keep me accountable to not eat fast food since they read my last post, and I'm thankful for that.

I actually don't think I've shopped in Wal-Mart since my last post, either. I've been in Meijer a few times, but I've honestly been trying to shop more at Hutch's especially while I'm at Spring Arbor. It's been working out pretty well so far, mostly since I don't have to buy food very often anyway.

I've also been recycling more lately, especially since all the dorms got several new recycling bins for various materials. That's been nice.

One more main thing: I decided I'm going to buy a bike this summer. I really want to get back into better shape, especially in combination with the healthier eating habits I'm trying to engender in myself. Biking around Spring Arbor next semester, around home, and around other places would help me spend less on gas, as well. Since I'm already trying to save for an internship this summer, however, I'm considering giving in to consumerism a bit and putting some advertisements on my blog to help me save up. Don't worry though; if I do, I'm going to be very picky on the advertisers I try to get. They might actually be interesting.

Peace.
