For today's Throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time, we were asked to create a Sports themed project. I'm no athlete! In fact, I'm not really all that active (unless you count the times I walk up and down the stairs to get a snack). But guess what? That's all about to change!
Left and right I've been seeing people getting back into shape and living healthier lives and you know what? I'm jealous! That's right. I said it. JEALOUS! I want to be healthier. I want to look and feel better. And now - I'm going to do just that!
Let me be very clear. I'm not going on a diet (can't stay on 'em). And this is NOT a New Year's Resolution (can't keep 'em). This is an "I'm-going-to-live-healthier-and-make-better-choices-for-my-body-because-it's-what's-good-for-ME" change of lifestyle!
***Tip***
Instead of adding a new Pro/Con/Fear sheet every month (or having to take the board out of the frame if I choose to add a new pro/con/fear), I put the BLANK sheet inside the frame (attached to the board) and am using a dry erase marker to write on the glass!
Be sure to check out Emma's Throwback Thursday post so you can join in on the fun!
I hope you've been inspired!

This is a great idea! I've been thinking of ways to motivate myself...this was a good way to do it. TFS

I love the idea! And like the way you write on the glass. (you can even check off your fears as you face them and they are no longer a fear, so you can track SUCCESS!) Yes, I have to agree a healthy life style is what many of us need! Good way of putting it out there to all your crafty friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Having it all there in writing will surely help you accomplish your goals. Oh, and don't worry about looking silly at the gym. Half of us there have no idea what we're doing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super fantastic idea Veronica!! I love it! I'm starting on this journey too. Again. :) I just can't stay motivated. I lost a ton of weight, but now I see me slipping into my old habits and it's creeping back on. ;) I'll be making one of these to help me out with my goals. Thanks for the fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl. I'm very proud of you. You can do it! What a GREAT idea to make and be able to see everyday.
ReplyDeleteLove ya,

This is such an awesome idea! I absolutely LOVE it! I'm much the same way. I can never stick very close to a diet. I do exercise a couple of really good Zumba workouts a week, but I know I need to do more. Thanks for the inspiration! Hugs- Glora
ReplyDeleteAwesome...awesome idea,Veronica!! I so know what you are talking about!! It took me like 11 years to get back to where i was when i got pregnant the first time! And i am still not doing any sports i just ate less! Worked out pretty good.Just hoping it will last!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat and personal project! Very inspiring :)
