As mentioned in a previous entry, my resolution for 2016 was to engage in a series of 30-day experiments. In January, I listened to a new song every day, a feat that was only occasionally interrupted by news.
Here’s what I discovered:

For February, my goal is to walk at least 20 mins every day. Since I work from home, my commute is minimal (quite literally from one room to another) and so I don’t get nearly enough exercise. However, I own a treadmill, decent shoes and a Fitbit, which means there’s really no reason I can’t complete this challenge. I’ll just have to muster up some willpower. Anyone have a bit extra they’d like to spare?
