    Heard something from a coworker that just made my day. She said thanks for holding the EcoChallenge at Perkins... this morning was cold and rainy but because she committed to biking to work during EcoChallenge, she biked in today. I asked how it was and she said, kind of fun! Sometimes we just need a little push to form a habit.

    I'm a bit nervy about my challenge this year... When you add more actions as habits over the years, you really have to step it up to challenge yourself!
