Day 1
Well Monday would have been day one, and I’m note sure how great of a start I got off to. So lets just go down the list and see how we did:
4.I did not take any pictures, practicing my new skill. Darn
12.Create something Brand New, again did not start this one.
15.Ditch 3 Bad Habits, Well I can say I worked on this, and I don’t think I contributed to the swear Jar
18. Read one chapter of a good book. This I can say I accomplished. Before bed I read at least one chapter if not more of my current addiction Mockingjay (third book in the Hunger Games trilogy) It is definitely cutting into my sleep time but Im ok with it!
22.Exercise for 30 minutes a day for 30 days. Well I can say I more than exceeded this one! First we went for an hour long bike ride, around Ardrossan and two other subdivisions. We stopped at the park to play on the swings and slide as well. Later in the evening I had an hour of bootcamp, which included hauling tires, weight vests and body bars up and down a toboggan hill several times, plus the rest of the exercises we did during class. After bootcamp we went for a quick 4 km run. So all-in-all i think I can put a giant check mark on this one for day one.
26.Have a conversation everyday with someone you rarely speak to. Oops. I don’t think I did this. But maybe it could count that I sent my neighbor a quick message to see how she was doing. Yes I am going to make it count!
27. Document each day with a photograph and paragraph. Well the photograph thing I already admitted to dropping the ball on. As for the paragraph, you’re lookin at it!
I may not have accomplished all of the items on my list but I had a really great day on Day One. It was absolutely beautiful outside, I voted, I spent several hours enjoying the outdoors and exercising. And my little man had a great time in a park swing for the first time! When all is said and done I think it was a fantastic day!
Day 2
Tuesday. Lets just see how we did for Day Two!
4.I did take a lot of pictures. None really worth sharing because they were all in my photography class. But that does count as practicing my new skill. We learned a lot about composition in this class and I must admit this has been my favorite part of my journey into photography thus far! Im looking forward to practicing a few composition skills this week. Maybe having actual homework for the class will force me to take more pictures!
12.Still no time for the project but we will get there
15.Swear jar may have had a few contributions...
18.Definitely, definitely covered this. I read a few chapters of Mockingjay last night. It is just getting so good I can barley put it down!
22.What did I do for exercise yesterday, a lot of walking.
26.Ok I did not cover this one.
27.No photo evidence, AGAIN, but I’m trying to stay accountable with this paragraph summary part.
Other than all this, yesterday I treated myself to a nice massage and eyebrow wax. Sandy’s parents got home from Phoenix, and Alexander started crawling! Two days shy of turning 9 months old, he finally figured out the motion of hand knee hand knee. Just throwing it out there, it’s not a competition and I am so proud of my little guy for figuring it out no matter how long it took him. (That is definitely directed at a certain rude reader)
And of course Al decided to start doing it while mommy was at photography class, but that is ok there are plenty of firsts, I’m sure I will catch the next one! Daddy was even great enough to catch it on video for me!
Wish me luck for tomorrows list of challenges!
Day 3
4.Here is the challenge I am finding with my new skill that i am learning and practicing. A lot of the time my subject is Alexander or the dogs, and to practice on them can be a little tricky. By the time I get my camera settings just right, they aren’t doing the cute adorable funny thing anymore. Sigh, we’ll get there.
For now here is a shot of my two guys hanging out in the new teddy bear tent I picked up for Alexander today.
12.Lets give up on this one
15.Mommy might be getting better at this but Daddy sure isn’t. We really need to get the language under control in our house!
18.Mockingjay I will see you in about one hour!
22.Today I didn’t end up going to run stairs due to the weather! It was just too cold to take my little man out there. On top of that I realized I am running 20 km on saturday and with stairs, running and hill training on Thursday and Friday I definitely needed one day of rest for my body. So today, no 30 minutes of exercise.
26.
27. I think today went much better than the first two for completing my challenges. I’d like to hope that tomorrow will be even better but you just never know what will come up! For now Im just doing as much as I can. Alexander is now cutting a tooth, which I know for sure based on the large bump in his gums. Here’s hoping I get some sleep tonight!
