I have decided to participate in Rhonna Farrer's 21 Day Challenge. The concept is that it takes 21 days to form a new habit. So you choose something and journal the process for 21 days. Hopefully at the end of the 21 days, a new habit will exist! I was going to do it before and even considered doing my own version...21 Days of 21 New Habits...I have a whole list of things I need to start doing as well as stop doing! I finally decided on one habit...probably the most important for me....exercise! I want to start running again. When I was running, that was the only time in my entire life on this planet that my THIGHS did not rule my world. Granted, I'm not as focused on them now that I've matured and got over myself but still, the weight likes to settle right in that general region. I found a program that I'm going to follow...it's called "Couch to 5K." Looks like something I can handle. No running the first month. Whew! I've just got too much that jiggles right now to run in public.
So for my journal, I'm using one of the journals that I made for the gallery that didn't sell.....
Here's the intro page:
And then here's the Day One page:
I'm really looking forward to this! I've wanted to do more art journaling and experiment with different mediums...I've got a lot of things to work out! But even when they don't turn out as planned...worst case scenario? I'll be getting some regular exercise! Goodness all around! Wish me luck!
That's really cool! Love the background - and I'm pretty sure I have handwriting envy!
