    Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge and I’m excited at the progress I’ve made. I think my two most lasting takeaways from this challenge will be working to avoid refined sugar and using a reusable coffee mug wherever I go.

    Challenge is going really well! May not hit 100% of my goals every day, but many feel like they’re becoming habits - nice!

    This challenge has made me more aware of what I’m eating at work when someone brings by some snacks. Said no to a few random things this week.
