    Coming to the end of the challenge, I realize I Was certainly ambitious with the number I chose, but feel like even though I couldn't achieve them all daily, it still made me do more to live more healthy and sustainably. I've been cooking with more fruits, veggies, and bulk items to cut waste - all of which are habits I'm certainly keeping after this project.

    I'm loving this challenge so far, but traveling all weekend made one of my actions too difficult to achieve. 
    The one that has been most difficult is definitely eating a meal a day without processed foods. Visiting friends in Seattle, we ate out at restaurants several times. In an attempt to stick with the challenge, we went to a farmers market to get fresh local organic fruit, but ended up making crepes with them - so the whipped cream and crepe pancakes were processed. When I eat at home I often have rice or pasta with whatever vegetables I cook so cutting them out of my diet has been a struggle, mostly because it is time consuming to prepare things I'm not used to cooking.

      Breakfast in Seattle. At least the containers were 100% recyclable!
      Definitely got those extra veggies and loved the tasty fresh, and some local, ingredients 😋
