So once again I have started on something, another mini book project. Actually I have started on about 10 projects this past couple of weeks: more curtains, magnet board-which I actually finished in an hour, more kits for Scrapalicious, stained the coffee table, but I was lazy and didn't condition the wood first, so now Levi is pissed, rearranged the living room furniture, -almost done, I need to be home...and starting my new addiction of making hair bows.
Boy have I been inspired these last weeks, must be spring! Sunday afternoon we were outside, got my first sunburn of the year...then on Monday Gulianna and I were outside most of the day, and boy did I get fried. It is nice to be outside in the sunshine, but then after wards you have to deal with being uncomfortably burnt! And then I get allergies from being outside, which they got really bad, and turned into a cold. So now I am sunburned and sick, why me!? At least my sore throat is gone, I believe I got it from sneezing so much. lol.
And onto my project...
I was inspired to start this book when I saw the Teresa Collins- Journal It Girl paper, specifically the one with the mini calendars, so it went perfectly with my challenge. As of April 1st I proposed a challenge to myself to start exercising. Something that I never have done. Because when you grow up skinny you don't have to worry about it, until one day you get married, and suddenly the weight comes with it. I believe it has to do with growing up, being comfortable with who you are, and then bamn....you are suddenly not who you used to be. {that's my case anyways} I have always been able to eat whatever I want, and as much of it, and not gain any weight. As a kid, I always remember my mom exercising, which she still does, and I remember her saying to me, your lucky you won't have too. So it was her, I got jinxed, lol. Just kidding. Excuses excuses. Not that I haven't been uncomfortable gaining weight, it certainly isn't appealing to me. I just want to be healthy, okay let me rephrase that, I just want to be a healthy weight. Because I don't eat vegetables, with the exception of lettuce, tomato, carrots (raw), onion...okay there is a few more, but I am very picky. And Levi loves to make cookies and good food, all the time, hey, it's his fault. Because I don't cook. And I could never be a vegetarian or vegan. I like my steaks and cheeseburgers. No I have not seen those sick videos about animals and such, but I'm sure it wouldn't change my mind. I even watched that movie "Super Size Me" or something like that, the McDonald's one, and it just made me want to go eat there! Sick I know. Lmao.
Anyway this mini book is a perfect journal for me, and for what I want to accomplish for the rest of the year! Plus it's pink & black, ♥ it!
I used the calendars on each page, with extra inserts and room to journal about my progress. I pretty much just stuck with Teresa Collins and Heidi Swapp, they work perfect together! So there you have it, and I'm not one to share my personal crap either, but I was proud on putting this book together in 2 hours, started at 11pm last night!
