    This was harder than I thought it would be, but I'm glad I did it as it made me think about being sustainable.

    I broke down and bought a soda today.  I'm completely wiped out and needed the caffeine boost.  Yes, I could have bummed a tea from a co-worker, but alas, soda won out.  I wanted the soda, didn't need it, thus I didn't either of my challenges today.

    I bought some food today and nothing else.

    I started removing popcorn texture from my ceiling and even though I had no intentions of buying anything, it turned out that a better tool was needed, so alas, I bought a paint scraper. I feel like it was a need to save my sanity and there's really no other reason to buy one.  I could have borrowed one, but that didn't occur to me because it was early Sunday morning.

    I'm not sure if I'll be meeting my challenge today as I'm getting a pedicure.  Do I need one?  Well, in my opinion yes, but really the answer is I want one and I've had it scheduled for a month.  It also goes against my other challenge of only buying food/water, but, it's a service, so again, I'm not sure if it disqualifies me or doesn't.

    Day 1 has been good.  No plans to buy anything tonight and while I did buy lunch today, it was a need and it was ok under first challenge.
