Despite being a travel day, I achieved all of my daily goals! In fact, traveling presented additional opportunities to work on my daily goals. For example: refusing a plastic bag for my lunch items at the airport cafe, and bringing my own reusable water bottle and filling it in the airport terminal. My travel took me to a warmer locale, and I took the opportunity to do a jog outside as my exercise!
