What I have learned about this challenge:
I love this challenge. This is one of my favorite challenges. I almost always enjoy the exercise portion; however, I don’t always enjoy the idea of taking a cold shower. With that said, I am always glad I took a cold shower as I always feel invigorated and ready to enjoy my day with new-found energy.
