    To my team, sorry I started late in the month but hope my efforts added to our goal and winning points! Tonight going to make Portabella Mushroom burgers (meatless), can't wait.

    This has been a fun journey and I am more aware of all the ways I can reduce my Carbon Footprint! I will definitely try and keep up my targets.

    Couldn't quite do a full 5 miles on my bike, a little soar from day before.

    I'm enjoying the fresh air while biking and can tell I've been sleeping better at night.

    I feel healthier than not biking, but sometimes not so safe riding in some bike lanes. I usually ride around my neighborhood and not on main roads.

    Not able to do much today, recovering from Covid 2nd vaccine shot. Pretty wiped out.
