It is such a life changer! However, my laptop (and my wife's) cannot upload to YouTube so I have to use my old machine (now my daughter). The process slows down due to jumping from one office to another. Seems to be something with AV setup on the newer machines -- haven't figured it out yet.

However, my laptop (and my wife’s) cannot upload to YouTube so I have to use my old machine (now my daughter). The process slows down due to jumping from one office to another.

Seems to be something with AV setup on the newer machines — haven’t figured it out yet.

Pshaw! Try -40 or colder. :D I used to start wearing shorts as soon as it hit a balmy -13C when I lived in Edmonton. :) CeliacTeen, nice to see another Canuck here! Also great that you're revising what you're doing based on what's necessary for the situation. :) Seth, -20C is only barely starting to get cold. Pshaw! Try -40 or colder. :D

I have to tell you this challenge came at a perfect time for me, and it has nothing to do with New Year's resolutions or a new month, etc. Having a chronic medical issue, I can find myself sitting by, watching other people achieve goals and feeling a little bit sorry for myself . And really, no one would blame me or make me feel poorly about that, because they "can't imagine what it would be like. . " Or, I can face a challenge, face my new lifestyle head-on, look it square in the eye and conquer it each day. My problem was forming the challenge that would get me moving. Then @JamieH posted about this. Thanks again for leading the charge toward healthier, happier lifestyle changes, making it fun and providing me with some much needed accountability. Let's do this!

No! Not that! =) I'm so happy for you. That's amazing! The long-term results of your early dedication will be bountiful and permanent if you keep this up. Just left a comment on your blog. The snowy yard reminds me of my old home. I don't miss the snowbanks much. Change? No! Not that! =)

Rituals have many benefits, I think. I need to do a post on morning rituals, I think. Yes! That would be fun to hear from everybody about! What do you think?

He goes to bed early - by 9pm - because he has to be up at 5:30 to pray in time (he's a Muslim). I don't wake up as early as him because I require more sleep.
