How I did it: I went to Big Bear with a group of friends and my husband (they all snowboard). I started on the beginner slopes, practicing standing up, the falling leaf pattern and turning toe side to heel side the first day The second time I went (a week after the first), I practiced making wide S patterns and going faster on a more advanced run designed for slow snowboarders and skiers. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used www.paperbackswap.com to get books that I've been wanting to read for a long time and concentrated on reading books I was truly interested in. I also tried to carve out time every day to read (usually about an hour before I went to sleep), and read when I felt like it -- which could mean three books in a week or none. I kept track of what I was reading on www.goodreads.com. Read how I did it…
I’m falling behind! Summer activities have had me out enjoying the city and not my books!
