A Mile A Day In March Movement Challenge

I'm excited to announce a new challenge I'm partaking in - "a mile a day in March," a movement challenge coined by Amanda Zampelli.

As a person whose hobbies involve being sedentary, this monthly movement challenge will do wonders for me - and Amanda (a planner/craft girl herself) has created printables and activities to motivate people like us to get out there and do it - and then craft/plan/record/document/scrap about it!

Below you'll see how I'm using some of her printables and documenting my experience with it.

• Weekly Documenting - using Amanda's small square printables made for The Happy Planner, I've decided to dedicate the last box of my day (or the "Evening/Night" box) to keep track of how I'm doing. This will let me jot what I did quickly so that I can journal about it other places. A motivational sticker from the Fitness Planner Stickers Pack for The Happy Planner jazzes it up a bit!

• Pocket Pages - these cute  2" x 2" squares Amanda created are perfect for The Happy Planner Pocket Pages, and similar to her, I'm using it to document but also as motivation. I stuck some Pocket Cards in for motivation, as well as some of her printables which act as my cover page for the final documentation in my planner.

•  Journaling - these larger inserts Amanda created lets us participants write a little story, convey our motivation and intentions behind why we're doing this challenge, and memory keep. Since I didn't have cardstock to print on (the best paper to stick in The Happy Planner) nor The Happy Planner Punch, I opted to adhere my journaling pages to a piece of graph paper. They are double sided, so I only had to use one sheet! Now it's thick and nice to write on. As you can see, there is a space to cross off each day you complete the challenge (which I forgot to do) and a place for each day to record your distance, time, the place you completed your daily movement, the story of why you ended up doing what you did, and motivation to finish the challenge.
  
  
  
  
  

• Project Life - I haven't downloaded them yet, but I plan on using Amanda's 3 x 4 and 4 x 6 journaling cards, plus the pictures below to document in my PL. They're perfect because I don't have many fitness/health related embellishments (thanks Amanda!). More on this to come post-challenge!
