I finished the daily drawing challenge today! Yay for me!

It was really fun and helped me to

love the imperfections.

daily drawings

I've been doing Lisa Congden's daily drawing challenge

on Creativebug. Each day she shares

a different thing to draw. It's fun seeing how she

draws them and then trying

to make my own.

This is the first half of the month. I can't wait

to draw and share the next half.



happy

 

 

 

Christmas is over,

January is here,

and I'm a happy girl.

But I would be sad

if I forgot to

post these

pictures.

 



taking classes

 

Online classes are a good way to learn new techniques, learn how to use different mediums, and get your creativity flowing again.  I have been

joining in some classes in drawing and painting on Creative Bug and plan to start a more soon.

These pictures are of my completed works.

being mindful

 

I had a checkup this week and though my health is good, my weight isn't.  I knew that of course but when the doctor says something it's time to get to work.  So I put myself back on Weight Watchers.  After being on it for a few days I realized it's all about being mindful.  Paying attention to what you are eating and how much exercise you are getting.  So I decided to make a list to help me remember.

 

[the losses]

 

large Sonic drinks

daily treats (ice cream, candy, cake etc.)

not having to think about what i'm eating

lounging on the couch most of the day

 

 

[the benefits]

 

feeling good

no cravings

more in control

learning to make better choices

enjoying nature daily

a tidier home

a happier husband

eating home cooked meals

no more guilt

 

I realized that I'm really not giving up that much

but gaining so much more.

This post is mainly to remind me when I mess up

and I will mess up

to just start again and keep going.
