How I did it: Finally I realized that I should work daily on it to see progress. I made it a goal to work 15 min. on it each day. Usually it was longer, because I did like it so much. I also worked on it while I was watching a tv-show or listening to the radio. Sunday was usually the day I did a lot for this project. Loved to see the progress and that kept me motivated.

How I did it: Thailand has never been on my traveling list. I never thought I'd have traveled there. I heard it's a nice place but never planned to go there. Then this year my parents said they wanted to go to Thailand. But since they don't speak any English or Thai, it would be impossible for them to travel alone. They had to find a travel agency. It was their first time going abroad. I really wanted it to be perfect for them so I decided to go with t… Read how I did it…

How I did it: For quite a while now, I've been going to the gym regularly.  My trainer explained that while exercise is important for health, weight loss is more likely to be a result of improved eating habits.Usually, I have a big appetite.  However, I was very sad a few weeks ago about a friend moving to another country, and that diminished my appetite for a few days.  When I stopped being sad, I found that my appetite hadn't returned … Read how I did it…

Life changing book.Just one big thing - I don't believe it EVER goes away for good. I keep dipping into the book and starting aga… Read how I did it…

How I did it: The first thing was I decided to do it.  After running a half marathon last year, I decided to do a FULL.  Boy, was I in for a surprise.I followed a 16-week training schedule (thanks to marathon rookies) and stuck with it day-in and day-out.I have to admit, I missed a handful of training runs, but I did just fine.At about week 13 or so, I was worn and felt like giving up.  Training, just like the race, is as much mental as … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I was talking about blending stuff and needing a food processor when a friend of mine told me to get a "Bullet."  I had no idea what a Bullet was so she sent me a link. Then a few days later I came across an infomercial about the "Nutribullet."  I showed my husband and we went out to get one. The Nutribullet, not the regular Bullet.The Nutribullet does blend much better than the traditional blender.  So every morning now I … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I decided to start this goal to give me extra motivation to run when I went away for the weekend, or on holiday or for work - it led me to more places than I could have imagined :)Most of my runs were in England (where I'm from) but I've also run in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and the USA, for distances ranging from a couple of miles to 26.2!It really made me look for runs in different places - I got to… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started slowly and built up to 4 notes per beat at 100bpm. My left hand drags a bit, so I have to relax my wrist and get the rest of my hand over to the new position when I cross over the thumb. I like to keep my wrist and forearm parallel and let my wrist lead up or down the scale. Read how I did it…

How I did it: It was pretty easy to set up a Roth.  I went with Fidelity as there is no minimum to open an account as long as you deposit a certain monthly amount.  The longest part was waiting to get my bank accounts linked correctly.  I also had stock held by them from a former employer so when I initially linked an account it went to my stock account not my Roth account.  But I got it all straightened out.  Hopefully it will… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Having been booted out of the room we had set aside as a workout room I had to relocate to another room with just the bare essentials.  My recluse room had been vacant for a while, just gathering a steady accumulation of unecessary stuff.  So while cleaning it out and making room, I found some space to offer a modicum of square footage where I could organize my workout stuff.  I also had to go back and redo my workout routi… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I found an affordable claw foot tub on Craigslist.  They run from about $75 to about $500 depending on condition, age and whether it has components.

You will also need a propane tank like the kind you use … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well, my son was born 2 weeks and 2 days early, on May 26, 2013. We couldn't be happier! He is a precious gift!My water broke at 2:45 a.m. on May 26th. I labored for about 18 hours total. I went 12 hours before deciding to get an epidural. I didn't want to get the epidural but I was fighting the contractions and stuck at 6 1/2 cm.

How I did it: Went to a local Mazda Dealer. I've been eyeing up the Mazda 3 for quite a while so I decided to test drive it to see if it's a fit for me.

It was really comfortable and I could easily see myself getting this car.  Read how I did it…

How I did it: I know I was planning on going for 30 days but I'm really feeling terrible. I was shivering like it was below 0 degrees under 3 blankets!I broke it today day 8. So I lasted 7 days.
