Update on my 21 day challenge

I didn’t stick to my original plan but the plan that evolved in these 19 days is something that I am planning to stick to.

Eating Healthy, that’s a must not just for me but for the family.
I wanted to loose quick weight; no sugar, low carb diet didn’t work for long but instead we as a family came up with a balanced meal plan that includes dairy, veggies, meats and bread. Don’t forget 8 glasses of water.

I couldn’t spend 10 minutes on the treadmill everyday but instead some days I chose to walk with my family and other days, I had to rely on taking stairs and parking the car farther away in the parking lot.

It was tough to spare 15 minutes for my creative outlet everyday, so I carried my pictures with me in the car and planned my layouts for the weekend when I’d actually sit down and work and that’s okay. I am carrying recipe cards and glue stick in my purse for times when I need to get my hands dirty.

So, in strict terms, some might call it a failure but from my perspective, it was a success.
These 21 days made me conscious/aware of the changes that I’d like in my life and helped me formulate a successful plan. I had to re-examine my priorities and that’s just what I did.
After all, there’s just 24 hours in a day and when you can not set aside time for your goals you try to incorporate it into your daily routines (which is even better).

I wanted to thank Rhonna for all the inspiration she has provided. Her daily quotes are going to make way into my art and creative journal.

I hope we all together evolved in these days as better individuals with clearer goals.

p.s. I have a few more journal pages to share. I didn’t make one for each day but did it when ever inspiration struck.
