Genevieve Halkett

I chose three items because I thought it was a realistic goal; however, it's been tougher than I thought. Although I'm focusing on breakfast for my meatless meal, it's making me more creative about using leftovers and thinking up healthy alternatives (I decided not to buy veggie options but make my own). It's also inspiring me to start thinking about lunch and dinner options; I have added a meatless meal to lunches four times.

Exercising 30 minutes a day was more difficult than expected; found it hard to get started. However, when I brought others in-a friend and I switched our weekly coffee date to a coffee and walk date and my partner and I have committed to hiking or the gym at least twice a week. We are going on a 3-day camping trip after the challenge.

Tracking my purchases has been humbling....I spend  quite a bit on crap I don't need. Being aware of this has curbed my spending, and I think I will keep this habit after the challenge.

I have the Challenge to thank for helping me put into action new habits which I plan to keep ...here's anticipating I will be choosing new goals during the next challenge!  

One step beyond the challenge is a weekly walking date with a friend...the challenge got us started; now our coffee dates have become coffee and walking dates.

A meatless meal is encouraging me to be more creative. I chose breakfast, and had leftover quinoa, which I made a pudding out of. Think it's going to be one of my favorite breakfasts from now on!

My partner and I going back to the gym for the first time in months!

Stretching on Monday...a good start after Sunday's hike!

4 mile hike at Silver Falls Sunday

I have discovered that a vegetarian meal is easy when you make soup!

Parked farther away from the office than usual; started my walking (10 minutes)...
