    Final days. I have to say I didn't do as well over the weekend, but still feeling energized and ready to make changes.

    The thing I am really enjoying about the challenge is even though I'm thinking about how to meet the goals I chose, I also find myself doing things that were on the list but not specifically goals. Once your in the mindset a lot can happen!

    Whoops deleted yesterdays post on accident. Today I wasn't able to take public transportation because I had a dental appointment, that being said I refused the dental bag of goodies (plastic wrapped in plastic) and have recently found a plastic free refillable dental floss online made in Maine!

    My parents-in-law took us out for a meal last night as they were headed home today. I remembered to bring my own containers to the restaurant to bring leftovers home in! No waste.

    Have been having variable success. I set a goal for consuming 3 meatless meals a day. A series of house guests and extenuating circumstances means I haven't completed this all days. On the other hand it wasn't a goal, but my husband and father-in-law added extra insulation to our attic this weekend, so we've at least increased our energy efficiency.
