Wednesday Weigh-In Worksheet

Soooo, now that I've lost the weight there's no need to weigh myself everyday.  However, I do want to monitor my weight and make sure that I remain on course.  So, I've decided to have a weekly Wednesday weigh-in.  Here's a cute little worksheet that I created in order to log my weekly weight.  I have given myself a 3 lb. target range to do any possible flucuating; that way I won't lose my sanity if I gain a pound or 2 (Can you say Super Bowl party food!?!).  Here ya go...


Feel free to download, print and share


Here's how I lost it: 
Initially, I began eating much less and stopped snacking so much. Then, I downloaded the "Lose It" app and that helped me set a weight goal, track my meals/calories as well as the weight I was losing. 

As always, check with your doctor or health care professional before beginning any weight-loss program.

BHAG - Big Harry Audacious Goals

A Big Hairy Audacious Goal is a statement which is created to focus on a goal which is audacious.
 
The term 'Big Hairy Audacious Goal' (BHAG) was proposed by James Collins and Jerry Porras in their 1994 book entitled Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies.  Collins and Porras define a BHAG (pronounced BEE-hag) as "...an audacious goal to progress towards an envisioned future."  "A true BHAG is clear and compelling, with a clear finish line, so you know when it is achieved; people like to shoot for finish lines."  
—Collins and Porras, Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies. (Wikipedia info)

2013 Crafts Vision Book

2013 craft projects, ideas, inspiration and plans...all captured in my 2013 Crafts Vision Book.

We were featured too:
Crafty Confessions
Keep reading to find out about our feature at Crafty Confessions

Here's how the idea came about:
One of my good friends did a vision board during the holidays with all of her goals, plans and vision for 2013. She cut pics and words from various magazines that represented her vision and taped them to a board - one that could be put in plain view (whether on a decorative easel or hanging on the wall). So, my wheels began turning and I had a light bulb moment. Hmmmm. Why not do a vision book for my blog and other craft projects for 2013? So, I stopped by my favorite toy store, Archiver's, and got one of the SN@P binders. I also got SN@P's pre-punched paper for journaling, jotting and keeping up with everything that I pop in the vision book. My paper pack included picture pocket inserts as well as stickers and tabs for my book. I even kept it in line with my friend's vision board and grabbed a few pages from magazines and inserted in my 2013 Crafts Vision Book. So, take a peek at how I dressed it up and check out some of the first inserts: new craft room plans.
