I have a bunch of reusable bags (both tote bags and smaller produce bags) that I bring with me whenever I go shopping (be it for groceries, clothes, etc) to minimize the amount of plastic bags I bring home. The (negative) reaction I seem to get from some people still amazes me, even though I do not think it is intentional. It's like they make me feel guilty for trying to do my part to save the environment. But I love my canvas bags; they can fit a lot more than the flimsy plastic bags, they are easier to carry comfortably on my shoulder, and I don't have to deal with tons of plastic bags at home.
I got this green bag at publix, but I've also bought some canvas bags, produce bags, and the wrap-n-mat sandwich bags at www.ecobags.com/ and www.reusablebags.com/.
In honor of earth day, and because I really need to make up for all the food I ate this weekend, I also walked to work today.

I wanted to do a clone shot for this, but I just don't have the time today. I was inspired by many fellow FGR shots to do something slightly different than the normal hands covering each part, especially this great shot with a modern twist.

I finally feel comfortable wearing this skirt again. Man, I really need to tan my legs; they are much whiter than my arms.
Another girl from the contest who caught my eye , its not just those multicoloured socks which made her stand out , she had that X factor going for her as well , we are sure to see her more in the future.
For today's FGR: Banana Violence, because you gotta protect your kitchen.

Starting Weight: 152 (1/29/08)
Previous Weigh-in: 137.6
Current Weigh-in: 136.4
Weight Difference: -1.2
Total Weight Loss: -15.6 in 78 days
Mini Goal Exceeded: > 15 lbs lost
Current Goal: 135 lbs (1.4 lbs to go)
I wasn't expecting much of a loss this week since I have not been as active as normal and my food intake has been off (not really eating bad foods, but probably not eating enough because of stress). I did continue with the C25K running program 3 days this week, but that was about all I did; I did not lift weights or do much else on the days off. But I am thrilled that I've lost over 15 lbs total in the past 2 months.
I started week 3 of C25K yesterday, where the longest run is 3 minutes, and it wasn't too bad. Since there are only 4 running intervals for a total of 9 minutes of running, it was over before I got a chance to get too tired or winded. I really worked on controlling my breathing and that seemed to prevent the stitches and make running 3 minutes in a row easier. I am excited that I am able to keep up and this program really seems to be working. I actually look forward to starting a new week and being able to run longer.
