How I did it: Every week I decided about the exercise I would do that week - what, for how long, how many times etc. Finally I realized that I could accomplish all my fitness goals by signing up for the appropriate YMCA classes + one run per week!It's become a routine now and does not require planning anymore! Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was super easy. Just pick a person, determine how much you want to spend (i.e. just send a postcard or mail an actual gift), add a few heartfelt words and head to the post office.The reason I´m not doing it anymore is because here in the US, all my friends live in the same town, and sending something over to Europe every month gets a little pricey. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My goal was to stay single for a year, and make the most of it.It did not quite last a year, but I feel I definitely made the most of these 9 months, traveling, discovering new activities and sports, deciding to move away - and finally, letting my soulmate find me! Read how I did it…
