Gretchen Rubin tackles a different area of her life and happiness each month. For April, she suggests writing a blog. She talks about her blog and how it opened her creativity. So... here I am! I need to figure out a way to find 15 minutes a day to blog. It is something that I enjoy, and feel oddly creative when I do it, even if I am not blogging about something creative.
On my iPad, I am reading, "Ada's Rules". This isn't really one of my normal reads, but it is set in Nashville and it is about someone trying to lose weight... again... things I relate to. "Ada" is approaching 50, very overweight, unsatisfied with her marraige, and preparing to go to a college reunion where she will see "the one that got away." She has a lot on her plate between being the "first lady" of her church, running a daycare, and taking care of aged parents. While I don't have all the same issues that she does, I certainly relate to her lack of free time to concentrate on herself and her need/desire to lose weight.
She has a series of rules, like "Drink 8 glasses of water a day" and "walk 30 minutes a day, every day." Another of her rules is to keep a food and body journal.
My idea is to combine the two "rules" right here. I can blog everyday about what I am eating and if I am moving. It is going to make me accountable... even if no one is reading. I will post before and after pictures. I might even post measurements... I have to think about that one.
This all plays into my need to be "Authentic" this year! So.... stay tuned... I am going to get happier and skinny, right here before your very eyes!! Oh, and I will post some crafts, recipes, tales from the road and more.
Until next time....
