Guinea Pig Experiment #17: Podfitness

There’s a gym in my building that I never use because I don’t really like working out on machines. I prefer classes because I’m told exactly what to do and don’t get bored. A personal trainer might force me to power through more than 10 minutes before going back upstairs and eating chocolate… but I can’t afford one.

Go Sledding, Girl

The Problem: My inability to pull myself away from making sock puppets and watching movies on snowy weekends in the city. Hypothesis: If I go dog sledding, I will feel more in touch with our lovely Canadian winters and I will have a better story to tell at the next social function (anything is better than “I made a sock puppet Saturday night”).
