No Impact Man Experiment: Day 4

Wednesday: Food

I must say, today was not easy. I have been feeling a bit sick lately, so immediately upon waking up, I wanted to stir up an emergen-c in my re-usable water bottle. I am not positive, but I have a feeling these are not made locally; however, I must admit, I mixed it anyway. And yes, I did have to throw the wrapper in my trash bag. This day was also difficult because I have paid for a meal plan in the cafeteria that provides me with 14 meals per week. That being said, I eat most, if not all, of my meals in Chapman’s cafeteria or cafés. This, I believe, would be the most challenging aspect of my current eating habits to adjust. Both yesterday and today I ate lunch and dinner in the cafeteria; however, I did make positive changes to my meals today. For example, instead of drinking diet coke with my meals today, I drank water and instead of eating two cookies after dinner tonight, I ate an apple. I believe I struggled today mainly because I did not have many alternative options to turn to or the ability to use my car to obtain more alternative options. However, instead of going to standard grocery stores over the weekend to stock up on food in my dorm, I think I am going to begin going to farmers markets!
