Get Motivated

For the last few months I have been slacking. I have not been working out or eating like I should. I have a list of excuses....I've been out of town a few times, my workout buddy has been out of town, it's too hot, Millie ate my workout schedule....the list goes on and on. I needed some motivation.. and I found it here. After reading about Cathy's quest to eat less and move more I decided I needed to get back to doing the same. She did a fitness journal to record her journey and if you are a digital scrapper she has some templates that would work great for this. I'm going to make a journal out of paper and glue.

I'll start with an 8X8 notebook that I bound with my Zutter. I already had this made (it was for another project that never got completed)

I'll be using chatterbox paper that I have had in my stash for many years.

I'm going to use journaling block stamps so I can have a place to track my progress each day. I'm planning on keeping track of what I did to workout and if I stayed on track with my eating. For now I'm using an iPhone app to record my calorie intake each day. I may change to weight watchers if the calorie thing doesn't work for me.

I'm still playing with how I'm going to arrange everything. I will post the finished journal once it is complete.

I'm hoping that having to write down my progress each day will keep me motivated and on track.

Happy Exercising!
