Unexpected things...

It has been quite sometime that I have been neglecting recording my 30 day challenges. And I could recount what I have done; however, more interesting might be what I am currently doing...

UNEXPECTED THINGS

In the past 5 weeks, I have done 5 unexpected things. That is things that are good for me, but that I normally would not have seen myself doing. I got the idea after accepting the invitation to complete week 1's challenge...

Week 1 - Jogging!
~ To say that I dislike jogging is the understatement of this year. I have in the past avoided it like the plague. I very much dislike being thirsty. I very much dislike having wind blowing in my ears. I very much dislike how my body feels thanks to the high impact on my joints. Overall I really just do not enjoy jogging. HOWEVER, jogging I went, thanks to a new found friend. Somehow when she invited me I found myself saying I would join her for an early, 6 am early, jog around the lake. And of course, it wasn't actually as bad as I let myself think it would be or was.

Week 2 - Jogging AGAIN!! (This one is even more unexpected than the first one.)
~No explanation needed here....except that I think I might have lost my mind completely by accepting again.

Week 3 - Painting my Finger Nails
~Thanks to a 30 day challenge to not chew on my fingernails, I have officially given up the habit. And, this week for the first time in my 30 years, I painted them. I must confess that I painted them with a clear polish, going coloured might have just been too much. And, I actually left the polish on for quite some time. Not necessarily because I wanted to but because I couldn't bring myself to buy any nail polish remover.

Week 4 - Endure the pain of Eye Brow Waxing
~ I really don't know what I was thinking with this one. This is my second kick at the can with only a 12 year hiatus, and it hurt just as much as the first time I did it in high school. I have been getting nice compliments about them though, which probably goes to show how bushy they were before, haha.

Week 5 - Felt and then expressed a depth of emotion that I haven't in a very long time.
~Not really going to explain this one, but suffice it to say, I am proud of myself for being able to accomplish this feat in spite of the result.

Week 6 - ??????????
~ This is week 6, and nothing yet, who knows what I might dream up this week....
