Ann Hawkins 7/30/2019 11:59 AMFirst day back from vacation and I realized how much of an impact this challenge has made on my daily decisions! I took a stainless steel straw with me and threw a sturdy tote bag over my shoulder on daily excursions. It was a great feeling to know that all I had to do was "put it in the bag" and be out the door.-
