On day 22 and the realization that we are nearing the last week of the challenge brings two emotions. Undoubtedly there is a sense of accomplishment and pride that we have come this far, but on the other had there is a sense of sadness that this challenge will be over in almost a week's time. It has become part of what we do and the fun part is seeing what everyone else has done, cheering each other on and being accountable.
