#gettingthisdone

I saw this pin on pinterest of a fitspiration board and decided I wanted to make my own. I started with the same basic concept. I got a big bulletin board. Then I decided I was going to hang it right next to my bed so I could see it every day. My dad helped me by attaching it to the wall with some screws. I was ready to make my board.  I needed some supplies,

I got tiny clothes pins

Card stock

Markers

Scissors

Push pins

Ribbon

First I thought about if I wanted the board to look exactly like the one I saw or similar.

I decided similar. They look very similar.

I started with the title at the top. I kept it the same. FITSPIRATION

I took 4 different color markers to make bubble letters and wrote them on a sheet of paper and then cut them out and tacked them to the top of the board with every two letters sharing a push pin.

Then I went to the clothes pins, I bought little tiny craft clothes pins people use to scrapbook with. I colored them 4 different colors. 1 clothespin = 1 lb. Then I attached then to some ribbon, I might change it out for string. Then I attached it to the board with some push pins. There are two sets of two ribbons. One is for how many I have to lose and the other is how many I have lost.

Then I made a workout plan.I looked at my schedule to see if there were any days that needed to be rest or yoga days and the only day was wednesday. So I decided wednesday would yoga and ten sunday would be rest. Even though I can’t exactly lift weights yet. I can do cardio. So signed up for planet fitness and in addition to walking at school, I walk about 2 miles, I do at least an hour of cardio.  Once I get the okay to lift I will start adding in little by little.

On 2 separate pieces of paper, I put my goals and rewards. On my goals in it say’s when I want to reach certain goals like each 5% and 20%, then when I want to be done by. On my rewards it says every 5% percent  I put money in a fund for new clothes when I hit goal weight. In addition every 5 lbs I lose I put 5 dollars in that fund, my tattoo fund, my vacation fund, and my no job fund. Then I have my other percentage rewards. I have a reward at every percentage, the bigger the percentage the bigger the  reward.

I also have these little motivational saying, they are the same from the board I found, I really liked them. I added in my current goal. Which I am still in the beginning of my weight loss so it is at 5%. The original board had a calendar on the bottom but I didn’t want it there, it would be too small. So, I bought a largish white board and made a calendar on there, and color coded it so I know when I have certain events and certain special days.
