Challenge YOUrself- Bucket List

It's time for another challenge with the team from Challenge YOUrself.   This month, we want to see your Bucket List !   What are you planning to do, or what have you planned that you have accomplished. For my page, I used my 2014 Bucket List. Last year I challenged myself to several things:   1-Lose 20 lbs 2-Start Running 3-Complete the Color Run race 4-Run my 1st 5 K race 5- Get my sons to Run.   So it was a challenging list since even when I was young, I have never been able to run. I was always catching my breath after 2 minutes. For some reason, I could do cardio and other team sports but never running. So this was a truly great challenge for me. I am a goal oriented gal and I need to have fun, so when I discovered the Color Run, I got a group of friends together and set this up as one of my challenges for the year.  

 

During the year, I joined a running group, this was for me the best way to ensure I would keep motivated. Towards the fall, my youngest son decided he wanted to try, so it was really fun to run with him. Ok, when I say run with him, I mean run way way way behind him, trust me we are not at the same speed for our running, but he would often circle back and join me.

 

We ran every sunday morning at 8H30, so it really took dedication for him to get up and get ready to run. We would also run on monday evenings and wednesday evenings with the Running room group.

 

 

So waht is next for 2015? Well, I am registered for the August Color Run.   With the winter, I have given up on running outside, but run at the Gym. I am can't wait for spring to come so we can start running outside again.   So what's on your Bucket List?

Challenge YOUrself January Challenge

It's time for the January Challenge ! And this month the challenge is an easy one. What we are looking for is: One Little Word... My Little word for this year will be : Believe Why believe you ask? well, in 2014, I challenged myself to lose weight and run my 1st 5K race. I constantly reminded myself that I am good at achieving goals, that I could do it and I did... So in 2015, I still need to Believe in myself, in my capabilities and have faith that I can achieve what I set my goals to. I want to continue on my path to lose weight and want to run another 5K race by improving my time and making it easier. Too often I get into periods of self doubt about my abilities at work, as a mom, and in myself to keep on track. I need to stop listening to that little voice of doubt in my head and have the confidence required. I need to Believe in myself on more levels. Here is my page for this challenge:

So whast is your word for 2015?

Challenge YOUrself challenge #13

Hi everyone, this is my first page on the Design Team for Challenge YOUrself. If you are new to Challenge YOUrself, one of the most important part of the challenge is that it has to be a picture of Yourself !  Challenge number 13 is: Traditions What are some of your traditions for the upcoming holiday season? Well we have many at our house, from the Elfs to buying a Christmas ornament on every vacation to making the tree as a family. But one of my favorite traditions are the games that we play like Guessing the Gift. I have to say, my husband is the master at keeping me guessing every year. So this is the topic I chose for my page:

Also, I was inspired by my friend Emma's sketchs over at Page Drafts.
Here is an older sketch by Page Drafts that was presented for a challenge at Let's Capture Our Memories.

Have a great day !
