    This was challenging!  Moving my trash can out of my office was a good move though

    Looks like MRod still needs to do that Impact Investing research?  Let’s go Veganator!

    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    Before you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?

    Too many temptations today - homemade blueberry muffins.  Cornbread with chili.  Daughter baked cookies 😍. Tomorrow will be better 👍🏽
