    I learned that remembering to log in daily was a bigger challenge than actually doing many of my actual challenges.  That's mostly good news - many of these are now habits.  There's always room to improve, but part of life balance for me now means easing back from self-improvement and enjoying my life.

    I think the biggest benefit of this challenge was seeing Shannon's post about the Seafood Watch app, which I have downloaded and already used.  It's helpful to hear new ideas, especially when they don't come from companies selling products.

    what I plan to do is to continue existing healthy patterns, and nudge them a bit higher.  I picked these because they are achievable and make a difference.  Specifically, less sugar and meat, more organics and exercise, and mindfulness are challenges that are at the same time simple, challenging, and important.

    Even harder while traveling.

    Day 1.  The easy stuff is easy.  Working on the hard.

    I think my challenges are all do-able, particularly so since the competition hasn't stated yet.
