    I spent the weekend de-cluttering and held a yard sale.  It was nice to earn a little change and see my "junk" go to others that wanted it!

    I noticed that some of these new challenges are not habits for me- I am definitely having to be more mindful!  Hope everyone has a great day!

    My no sugar, non-processed breakfast smoothie.  It does not look appetizing, but it does taste good!

    Just gearing up for the challenge has made me for conscientious.  I am going to order a glass water bottle so I can quit using the disposable ones, and until then I am using a mason jar.  I watched a documentary about food and sustainability and chatted with my family about it.  I brought my gym clothes in a plastic bag today :( but I noticed it and will change that habit too!  Hope you all are having similar experiences starting this challenge!  Happy 1st day!!
