Look! A profile picture! Ever so slowly, I'm transforming this into a real blog.
The result of the first challenge is that I'm going to keep drinking my 64 oz of water a day, but I'll stick primarily to biking for my cardio. Even though I noticed that I can walk much faster now than before, it's still a very time-consuming way to burn very few calories. I think I'll definitely walk more than I did before, but it isn't going to be a daily exercise for me.
For the second challenge, I wanted to do something that pushed me creatively. I'm an amateur photographer, but I rarely make the time to take pictures. And although I love so many of the pictures I've taken, I've printed almost none of them out. So, I'm pledging to take 3 pictures with my good camera every day. (Meaning cellphone pictures don't count.) In anticipation of this challenge, I bought a good photo printer, so at the end of each week I'll print out the best picture and frame it. (I also stocked up on Ikea frames. Shut up, they were on clearance. Yes, I realize this is the second time I've mentioned Ikea on this blog. No, I don't have an Ikea problem. I'm not even sure who I'm arguing with at this point. Huh, maybe I do have an Ikea problem...)
Aaaaaanyway, my ultimate goal is to make money from my art (said every artist ever), so at the end, hopefully I'll have enough to go to a shop down the street that only sells art by local artists. Also, I'm hoping that treating this like an actual job helps my confidence, because dayum, I cannot sell myself when it's something I'm emotionally invested in.
Oh, crap. I have to go take some pictures now!
