    Also, the other day I woke up at 6AM to hike Castlerock with Whitney. I'm so out of shape, but the view from up top was worth all the huffing. #hikealocaltrail

    Honestly going to be kind of sad when this is over! I've been having so much fun checking in everyday and having something to hold me accountable for my actions... I've always been a eat dinner w/ a movie kind of girl, but I opted to eat all my meals distraction free. I actually love it, and I've successfully eaten all my meals TV free. (shocking, I know)

      It's definitely nice to have dinner without distractions. Adam and I turn off the tv or radio and have a no cell phones at dinner rule. It's family time!

    Today, my husband wanted to surprise me with an espresso. I caught onto his surprise and had to call him and beg him NOT to get me a coffee because he didn't have my reusable cup. Who am I? #sohard #nowaste
