    I've decided to no longer eat pork, so I am replacing it with more veggies in every meal!

    I bought fall watermelon radishes at my local farmers market. They had green tops and I made radish top soup, and cooked up a lovely fall soup for very little cost. All local, all healthy, all the way!

    Getting more sleep is so important. I'm feeling better- coupled with lessening screen time before bed, too- and waking up more refreshed. I bought a fit bit in order to better track my sleep and it's helpful to see the patterns.

    Lessening screen time is a challenge with all that happens in a day. I've really enjoyed this challenge as a way to take a forced break from looking at my phone, computer, or other things and reading a new book.

    I've been using mason jars with metal lids to carry my lunch and only using my Klean Kanteen to reduce my coffee cup waste.

    I'm loving eating more meals outside! It's been beautiful autumnal weather in the D.C. area and it's a great way to get fresh air and exercise.

    I began keeping a journal to write down one thing that I am grateful for each day. It helps keep me focused and grounded!
