    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    Being intentional is the only way I get it done. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    Not surprising but not good, either. I would love to see money go toward local farmers - making unprocessed food more common.
