    The challenge has been helpful to get me off the dime and do some one-time things I've been meaning to do but keep putting on the backburner such as going paperless with bill paying and purchasing carbon offsets .  More walking and eating without distractions will continue to be  my daily challenges going forward even after the official challenge is over :)
