Presidio Graduate School

BTWs Presidio - we are a small team that packs a mighty eco-challenge punch!  We beat #2 in per capita points with an average of 117 points each!  Yeah!

Damn - two weeks flies!  Thank you EcoChallenge for challenging me again to think 14x about the every day things I can do to make a difference.

I was having a little low-blood sugar moment this afternoon and was thankful that I packed some fresh strawberries as a snack. 

My daily efforts to get more sleep led to a greater awareness of its importance, which prompted my to prioritize early sleep and no alarm clock on the penultimate day of the challenge. Result? 13 hours of sleep!! I felt the best, by far, on the last day of this year's Eco-Challenge after all that wonderful rest.

What a fun and fulfilling couple of weeks. I'm super motivated to continue carrying out the little things that make all the difference. Can't wait for next year's EcoChallenge! And thank you, Shawna for organizing a group tour of a waste & recycling facility! 

This has been fun - thanks Tegan for organizing. Go team Presidio!

My goal of not buying anything but food has saved me $130! 

I didn't think I was going to be able to get my 60 min of physical activity yesterday as I was in the bridal party of a big wedding! Little did I know that we would dance for almost 2 hours. 

Today I scoffed at the clouds and rain ("I MUST fulfill my EcoChallenge!") and spearheaded a long autumn walk through Mt. Tabor Park with my family. While meandering on a path, we discovered a stunning old grove of Hawthorne trees! Apparently the leaves and berries are medicinal. . . good for heart health!

With fall weather roaring in I took the opportunity to clean out the closet of summer gear and winter clothes I don't need to hold on to any longer.
