OK here's another quick project I made last night. Ever since I had my girls I've wanted to lose weight. I gained a ton when pregnant both times and have had a hard time trying to get back in shape. This year I've decided that there's no sense putting it off and I'm honestly going to give it a real shot!
I was able to get a Wii fit delivered last week (man those things aren't easy to get a hold of! I found mine through Costco.ca - it came with a couple of extra accessories and a snowboarding game as well and it's been pretty fun!) and have been using it every day (and feel like I've been hit by a bus!). I love that it can keep track of my progress and it has a bunch of exercises/yoga positions etc etc that I'm not familiar with. So it's definitely well worth the $$
However my biggest downfall is food - I love snacking way too much! I've had "food journals" in the past and they lasted maybe a couple of days before I got bored. Now with my new determination to get back in shape I'm hoping I can keep this up and so I needed a new little journal to keep track of what I eat!
Weightwatcherbella to the rescue LOL!
I stamped her onto white cardstock, colored her in with some Copics, then cut her out with one of my rectangle nestabilities.
I matted the image with a large scalloped rectangle then used some Crystal Stickles to bling her up before setting aside the image to dry while I covered the journal.
The book itself is roughly 6x5 inches - it came from the dollar store.
I used my new Imaginisce Twitterpated papers to cover the front and back covers. I LOVE these new papers - they just scream spring! They have gloss effects on them too which are really cool - that red polka dotted paper is ALL gloss - just the dots aren't glossy - it's something you have to see in real life!
I just cut the paper to nudge it up against the coil - I didn't bother removing the coil to cover those parts of the covers - that would have been way too much work. I used myTombow Mono multi to adhere the paper - worked like a charm!
I added a bit of Twitterpated ribbon tied to the top coil to use as a bookmark.
I used one of my Studio G wood alpha's (from Michael's in the $1 bins) to stamp the "food journal" then cut that out with a nestabilities label before gluing it to the cover.
To embellish I used some felt flowers (from the Target $1 spot that were given to me eons ago!), some Primas and some DoodleBug brads and that was it!
SO - now the book is done and here's hoping I can stay consistent in using it - and of course hopefully it will help to serve as a reminder to lay off the snacks!
I gotta run now and get some exercising in - I've been doing the boxing and yoga and some of the strength exercises along with the aerobics on the Wii fit - it doesn't take long to really start to feel the burn!
