    The challenge was instructive and inspiring to me.  I learned it is not that hard to eat meatless meals, and I realized how many lights I leave on every day.  I love being part of a CSA, and will continue to participate.  And I should get out and do more nature hikes, as it is a great stress reliever.   The big take away for me is mindfulness; its important to think about how you want to be a good environmental steward, even in the small things you do every day.

    We watched "Supersize Me" last night.  A great documentary about fast food for the family.  It was eye opening for my teenager.

    I planned out the meals for the week today.  Planning for more meatless meals and more veggies.

    We ate two meatless dinners this week.  Going for three next week!  Not too hard when you go online for great veg recipes.

    I purchased two LED large light bulbs last night and put them in my upstairs fixture.  The light quality is a little different but it is bright and is saving energy, so it makes me happy.

    I am getting ready for the challenge tomorrow by planning some meatless meals, and I hope to buy some LED light bulbs tonight.  This is a great way to help the environment, get wellness credit and feel that I am making a positive impact.

    I am excited to be more committed to being ecologically aware and active.  It's not that hard!
