Plastics challenge talk I went shopping today for groceries

  No plastics! So chocolates for on crackers/bread, raspberry jam, cookies and some vanilla custard, eggs, boursin(some sort of cheese with herbs) and cucumbers. I stil have food on stock.

Day 1

Weight and exercise talk Today it started, my bmi is 25.16 a bit to high than “advised” but more important higher than i like. I drove my bike to work today which is a 45 minute travel.

Plastics challenge talk This morning at my work i took a glass for the water cooler instead of the plastic trow away cups. I was at family the rest of the day we had potatoes and a type of fresh cabbage so no plastic there. I only drink water and juices so no problem with plastic bottles there. I do have a plastic bottle i use to carry water around but i can clean it and reuse it over and over again. I realised the biggest issue for not buying food packed in plastic for me is.going to be cheese. I absolutly love cheese. So i will have to.find a solution! I will try to get rid of the food i still have packed in plastic asap. No trowing away but eating it.

Budget talk For my electronic budget i have decided an amount. It will be 75 euros a month and i.can save up for big things. Iam already half my budget of this month cause i orderd a webcam before i started this challenge. I will see this month and next month (august and september) if 75 euros on food is enough, I can high it up a bit if i have to, i do wanna loose some weight but not by starving!

Random talk I am going to do some.research to see how much plastic an average person trows away each year.

The begin

Let me introduce myself : Iam a 20 year old female student from the Netherlands. I have been doing some lifestyle changes, i stopped eating meat and i only eat raw veggies (i like them more that way). I try to exercise more and i take my own bags to the store (ty tim minchin with his song canvas bags). Iam trying to lose some weight, i am a little bit to heavy or close to being overweight, its not steady always. So i decided to do a plastic challenge. The challenge is to stop buying food which are packed/sealed in plastic. With a food budget off E25 a week. I will eat the food i have in my house cause it would be a waste to trow it away. Tue next part of the challenge is to stop buying new things but getting them.second hand (underwear and socks are excluded and maybe more things will follow). I do have a weakness for electronics and games so i still have to decide what i can spend each month on electronics those items will be as much posible be secondhand.

I will post everyday a blog post about my day. I will try to get my weight every morning and pictures/discriptions about the stuff i buy/eat.

Bye!
