August challenges

In yesterday's post I mentioned two challenges that I'll be working to complete in August.  The first is creative, while the second is focused around physical health.

To push myself creatively this month, I'm going to use my camera more.  I did a fun photo project this weekend that I'll be sharing with you all tomorrow, and it made me want to be better about documenting knitting projects at various stages.  Then I thought, if I'm going to be carting the camera around to take more pictures of my knitting, why not take more pictures of everything?!  Then I calmed down and decided on the more modest goal of taking at least one photo per day. Results will be here on Sundays.

Let me preface this next bit by reassuring you all that I am a fan of my butt and the rest of my lovely self, and by "run your butt off!" I just mean "go run more often!"  Consistently going for afternoon runs at the gym has been wonderful these past two weeks, so I'm making a commitment to keep showing up and climbing on that treadmill at least 4 times a week.  Down with just plain walking!  Not really; I'll keep doing that, too.  Add in my yoga classes (hopefully 2 times a week, but at least once), and suddenly August becomes a month of super fitness. Hooray! Perhaps if I'm doing all this working out, I'll even do some menu planning... I'm not promising anything about that part.

So there you have it, friends: these are my challenges for the month.  Look out for progress posts and lots more photos coming up soon.
