Last week it was a little hard to not use a straw every day because I hadn't been able to get my hard plastic straw from home, but this weekend I went home to work and so I was able to use it and bring it back with me so now I shouldn't have any trouble not using a single use straw. Today I decided I wanted to challenge myself to do more so I added a few extra challenges. I think the one that is going to be the most difficult is eating one meal a day without processed foods. Since I live in the dorms it's not exactly easy or convenient for me to make my own food so I typically eat cereal or something frozen that I can just pop into the microwave for breakfast, and then I go eat other meals at the cafeteria so it's going to be challenging but I want to try to do it for one meal a day.

I didn't think I used many straws so I didn't think that challenge would be so difficult but it turns out that now that I am consciously thinking about it I typically use 2 or more straws a day, today I only used 1 straw because I got a frappe and I haven't bought a metal straw yet but it is now on my shopping list.
