Courtney Veed 10/28/2016 3:57 PMConserving water has been the most difficult task for me to complete daily. The reasons I find it so hard are based out of habit. I know that I can do thinks quickly and efficiently when it come to how long I keep the water on and at what pressure as well. It is like learning how to shower again and that is difficult. -
Courtney Veed 10/27/2016 8:18 PMhe best part of this challenge was spending 15 minutes outdoors. I have moved some of what I do at the gym to outdoors and have found that I am able to concentrate more when I am outside and at the park. I feel more motivated to do sprints when I am outside. I also like the walks. I live about ten minutes walk to the grocery store and and have been able to walk there and not buy to much because I know I have to walk back. Its been a great exercise and challenge. -

Courtney Veed 10/23/2016 10:54 AMSo today I was able to do better food shopping for the week. I got a list of the recipes I will make for the week and will prepare them this evening. I only bought the food I will eat. I did not go hungry. I also only got food from the perimeter of the store. I think I did really good today. I also brought my own bag and did not use plastic for the produce. I got reusable bags for the future. -
Courtney Veed 10/20/2016 5:43 PMFailed when it came to food today. My car problems left me unable to prepare my meals for the day. I ended up eating whatever work had and Wendy's -
Courtney Veed 10/19/2016 7:17 PMOkay, I am super proud of myself. I was able to shave and wash my hair in less than 5 minutes. How you ask? One leg yesterday, and one leg today! -
Courtney Veed 10/18/2016 10:57 PMThis is probably the hardest part of this challenge. I have a very varied schedule and planning what I am going to eat and doing the prep is rough. Or I should say that doing the prep work is very easy. It is that I cannot eat on a regular schedule at all. And what I am prepping does not fit into the times that I can eat. I follow a very regimented macros schedule for the fitness and training that I do. I basically have not eaten half the things I prepped. At this point for this next few days when I go into the weekend I am planning on just boiling a bunch of eggs, prepping chicken, having lettuce or spinach on hand and a bunch of fruit and tuna. I feel like this week I have wasted more food than I have saved.
