almost halfway through

I added a few stickers to my chart this morning and then stood back to take a look at it.

In doing so I realised that I have a nice neat row of blue stickers with no holes in it. I'm sticking to my <4 minute showers. I saw lots of holes in not driving to work. But this is to be expected. If I'm hitting my target I should have 3 stickers out of every 7 days. Substituting organic in a shop only gets stickers when I shop. This column looks really really sad. I wish I'd thought to cross out the stars on the chart when I first started for days I didn't shop. And pretty much the same thing for the organic meat/2 days vego column. We took that as a start from this date purchasing organic not an eat from this date organic so it doesn't look great either.

My other row, work in the garden, looks pretty good. There's one or two holes in it where I didn't get a sticker. Don't know what happened those days, but apparently I didn't pull any weeds or add mulch or plant anything.

Overall my chart looks like ok. And I realised during this 'stocktake' that I am almost halfway through. Wow. That makes me realise that some of you would be 2/3's of the way through. How does that feel? Do you feel like  you'll be able to continue at least one item from your challenge when it ends?

I think we'll manage the shower and commuting easily. The garden probably not so hard too. But shopping will be the tricky one. Organic meat is very expensive. Though we do vego twice a week and try to eat fish twice a week, so it's really only 3 meals each week then. That's probably manageable. Grocery shopping though I think there's got to be a point where you're substituting things in and there's nothing left to substitute!!
