Final day! I didnt keep up with the lunch from home, or more than 7 hours of sleep every day. But I did kick butt in organic food and meatless meals!!!
I didn't car share with a neighbor but did carpool in 2 times this week with my husband! It's not ideal because he has to come in a little earlier, but he was a good sport about it.
I just did 5 hours of meal prep and clean up (mostly for my husband since I'm going to be out of town) -- wish I had taken on that challenge! Good for you!
