I'm also being ACTIVE by using my stash, so all the items in my One Little Word notebook are things I had on hand. The February focus is Practice, finding one single thing to practice and track each day in February.
Honestly, I'm already tracking quite a bit in my calendar (daily devotional reading, writing in a prayer journal, exercise, water intake) as well as tracking all my eating in the My Fitness Pal app, so I decided to pick something that would supplement my goals and not be too much more right now. I chose to add 200 crunches to my daily exercise.
I'm using the tracking card and reflections card (which I'll fill out at the end of the month) from the OLW digital components in my OLW notebook. I created my title card with white cardstock and washi tapes.
I'm stamping a heart for each day that I complete the crunches. As you can see, I'm doing pretty well so far this month.
I also printed the monthly Actions and Reflections cards onto colored cardstock and completed the January cards.
I cut down two 9-pocket page protectors to use for these monthly cards.
I filled in the February Actions card with some of the things I'll be working on this month.
All-in-all, I'd say it's been a pretty ACTIVE year so far! I like how tracking these items keeps me focused on staying ACTIVE and am considering using that tracking card each month to add a little something extra. How do you track progress on your goals each month?
Wow..you have been very busy! I like how you are including more than just physical activity in your "active" challenge. Best of luck with February!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your documentation makes me miss the One Little Word class. I still haven't made the time to do my initial set up for my word - hasn't stopped it from being active in my life, but I'm missing it!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you're pleased with your progress---what an ACTIVE month you had. I get tired just reading about it.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes! You certainly accomplished a lot this month. I should keep track of what I actually accomplish each month. That in itself would be an accomplishment!
