Motivational Mondays Weeks 21 & 22: Do not sit in the back row at church and wear something leg revealing

22 weeks ago on a quest in 2014 to face some fears and mainly move out of my comfort zones I began Motivational Mondays.  I'm hoping to grow in many areas by embarking on this journey. I have heard that your amount of growth is directly related to how uncomfortable you are willing to get.  Join me this year as I get uncomfortable and get up off my duff.

So, on weeks 21&22 I decided to tackle  #1 and #31 :  Do not sit in the back row at church and wear something leg revealing.


I'm makin this short and sweet... not much material for you inquiring minds but I just want to relax and this needs to be done.  I went to a home church so there are no rows just chairs in a circle and it's difficult to keep space between you and others and  stay in your bubble.  So, therefore there was no sitting in the back row... I was more kinda center.  Not bad at all.

Wear something leg revealing... so I got these crazy  pj top and bottoms.  the bottoms are purple and black zebra striped with a purple top w/ 2 hears that are purple and black zebra stripes and the bottoms are about capri length.. this was huge for me.. I haven't shown my legs in YEARS!  no matter how hot I get I stay covered.. I know you all just exhaled a huge sigh of collective relief =)  This was not as bad as I thought it w/b either considering I wore the outfit to therapy and not just out to get the mail.  With my legs waxed, from the knee down.. I guess not too bad.. no cankles.. so I am very lucky in that sense.  But epic fail on the luck of everyone else who has to unavoid the view this summer!  hahahhahahahha


Level of uncomfortable-ness on a scale of 1-10, 1 being slightly uncomfortable and 10 being "I am only doing this for my readers and will never attempt this again" These both rate a 1.


So, @ the end of the 22nd week of Motivational Mondays I am proud to say I have achieved my goal and can cross it off the list.
