    Hi Ecochallengers!
    I put this question out to the team a few days ago, but I didn't see an actual reply that answered my question, so I thought I'd toss the question out to the team again! Does anyone know the answer? Please share the answer if you do! :-)

    I have a question about how to properly check in for the day when I don't meet all my goals for that day.
    Do I only click on the 'didn't meet my goals, but there's always tomorrow' option? Or in addition to that, am I also supposed to click on the individual goals that I actually did meet for that day, while not clicking on the unmet goals? Is it all or nothing?
    What is the proper way to account for my day if I meet some of the goals, but not all of them?
    I've only been clicking on the 'didn't meet my goals' option for those days when all the individual goals weren't met, but now I'm wondering if I've been doing it wrong!
    Thanks! Mary
