Christopher Nichols 3/27/2023 8:34 AMI realized today during our class that exercising and doing a joyful movement really brings me to the present. This helps me a lot with the stresses of everyday life.-
Teddy Hines 3/27/2023 8:39 AMI feel the same way, Christopher. I often forget about the stresses of life and school while I am working out. Also, if I feel stressed, I think that working out helps me be more productive and focused afterwards.

Christopher Nichols 3/23/2023 10:13 AMGreat 60 minutes of exercise today. Weather was nice outside so got to go for a run to the Washington monuments!-
Justin English 3/24/2023 1:48 PMRunning by the monuments never gets old. Always makes the workout much more bearable. Hopefully with better upcoming weather I can do that more frequently

Christopher Nichols 3/22/2023 8:07 AMThe daily action of exercising everyday has not only kept me helped me keep track of my ecochallenge, but it also helps me keep track of my fitness! I found I have been much healthier since I started tracking my workouts. -
Christopher Nichols 3/14/2023 1:41 PMUsing a resusable water bottle has really helped me reduce my waste over the last month. Not only has it saved me plastic, but I also save money as I do not have to keep buying plastic water bottles!-
Nick Medeiros 3/16/2023 12:49 PMI agree! I recently have been using a reusable water bottle and it has brought on great benefits. Everyone should try and do this.

Christopher Nichols 2/28/2023 11:31 AMMy campus ecochallenge has been going awesome so far. My favorite action I took so far was when I "explored my area" my taking a hike in Jackson Hole. I was able to see some really cool views of the Teton mountains and had a really good time on the hike. Taking a hike in the mountains like that was really refreshing compared to life in Washington, DC. -
