    As a result of this challenge I watched a documentary that left me hopeless for the human race really, so it may have been counterproductive to this challenge, ha ha.  It was called cowspiracy and talked about agriculture, specifically cattle farming as being the main cause of climate change and  water consumption  and why nobody will talk...

    I was able to check off three one-time health related challenges by simply going to my doctor and having my usual tests run.

    Well, I have been terrible at this challenge so far. I plan to watch a food documentary tonight and I feel bad that I have been so busy and not made the time to check in and follow through with this challenge so I am making a donation to the earth institute so they can continue the good work they do. It doesn't excuse my lack of participation...
