Weekly diary #4

Posted on July 27, 2017July 6, 2023

Hi, my dear reader! Great that you’re still following these weekly diaries. Let me know what you think. Here’s weekly diary #4.

Thursday

I started the day in the gym and I trained myself, no group lesson. I try to switch it up a little. Sometimes a group lesson, sometimes training myself. Leg day it was today. At noon someone from my local municipality came by. He came to bring by some poking devices, to pick up trash. I asked them by e-mail if I could get two. I go out to pick up trash with a friend every once in a while, but picking it up by hand is a little too extreme for us. The person who came by was so excited and so was I! I am happy with his work and he is happy with my work haha. I also put my longboard onto Marktplaats (the Dutch e-bay) for sale. That hobby didn’t work out for me. I didn’t make time for it and so it was time to say goodbye.

Friday

A friend of mine went out to test the new devices right away! It was a sunny day and so it was good to go out in nature. After about 1,5 hours we had two full bags of trash. Yesss, that feels good! When I saw a sigaret lying around I thought of my recent holiday to Gran Canaria. When I sat at the beach I saw a bird eating one, it was a horrible sight. Every bit of trash that we pick up makes a difference. I got excited to go again tomorrow! But for now I don’t want to overdo it. I am also doing the 365-challenge of course.

Weekly diary #4

Saturday

I had a day off from work on a Saturday, which is nice. I didn’t do that much really, it was a chill day. However, for lunch I did have a good caprese salad at Happy Italy, I think it is my new fav! And, I also watched Before The Flood today!

Sunday

I decided not to go to the gym, I took a day off. It wasn’t really possible either, because I had to work from 11 till 4 and those are also the opening hours of the gym. I tried to sleep early again. If that works out, it always feels great in the morning.

Monday

Another day with nothing planned! I got up to go to the gym again. Afterwards I went into the city center to buy some vegetarian tuna at Ekoplaza (an organic produce store). I was a bit too enthousiast, because I put 90 grams of fake tuna with 100 grams of salad. That wasn’t such a good balance. However, it is a great product. The smell even scared me af first, it smells just like real tuna! I also bought two secondhand bedsheets on Marktplaats for just 8 euros. Buying secondhand is the most sustainable option.

Tuesday

Today was an exciting day! I had an appointment with a lawyer. Don’t worry, I am not going to sue anyone. It is for my business plan. Just to make sure I do everything right and follow the law. I don’t want things to go wrong and so I checked some things with the lawyer. The lawyer was very enthousiast about my business plan too, which made me feel good. It was such a good conversation that I almost came late to work.

Wednesday

Today my boyfriend came over to Enschede. In the morning I went walking, along with my dad and so I didn’t go to the gym. My boyfriend and I went out into the city center for lunch. A vegan lunch isn’t doable yet in many place and so I had a vegetarian salad caprese again. And I found out that there is zero waste tea available at Sostrene Grenes in Enschede. Great if you’re looking for tea!

ABOUT ME

 

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio Gent, wat was je prachtig 🌆. Dit is absolute een duurzame vakantietip (oh, maar wees niet zo naïef als ik en ga lekker met de trein 🚃). Binnenkort is op Youtube de gehele vakantievlog te bekijken.
