      Большинство humbel благодаря Czar Зах. Вы были самым удивительным тренер делает JVC Северо-Запад эко-great снова. Ни Николай, ни Распутин не мог бы сделать так же. Разве я когда-нибудь упоминал, что моя бабушка встретила Распутина? Или так она сказала ......

      Thank you google translator......

    I've fell off the wagon a bit...not with my challenges (which I've done pretty well on) but with my logging and team feed participation. However, Greg and Martha's honesty has inspired me to get back into it with vim and vigor. Thank you to this team, to NWEI, and to the Academy for the motivation
    !

    What's the perfect recipe for getting through hump day? Do your EcoChallenge, duh! My 5 minute shower this morning had me feeling fresh and my mid-morning walk with coworkers kept that feeling up. Can't wait to not grocery shop so I don't have to refuse any plastic bags either!

    I went on 3 walks yesterday! Hoping for two more today, gotta keep my eyes on the prize (which is more points).

    EcoChallenge hack - If you're doing the short showers challenge, only wash your hair! It only takes 30 seconds and you still look and feel fresh. (Warning: If you don't smell great, opt for the full shower)
