The food I used to throw out (meats and fish waste) can now go in the curbside compost bin. To avoid a stinky compost bin, we freeze the meat/fish waste in a paper bag and put it...

October 18 at 12:39 PMHad a bit of a down few days but I’m back up and ready to do better.

October 17 at 2:42 PMOver halfway through the challenge and I'm meeting most of my daily actions with the exception of getting enough sleep (only meeting this one on weekends 🫢) and decluttering my space (only once!).
