Like I mentioned last week, I find that signing up or registering – in other words, COMMITTING time – for a particular event or activity gets me motivated to go out and actually do something active. I think it’s because…
Breaking out of holiday mode.
Well, I don’t know about you, but my Christmas break was a whirlwind of family, friends, food, and more food. It was pretty darn cold back at home in Northern Ontario. So even though I got out to shovel snow…
