8 weeks to a better me: Week 5/Having fun & Loving life!

I could not love this weeks goals any more!

They are so perfect and exactly what I needed to read this week for an extra boost of motivation & inspiration!

Life has just been feeling pretty rough lately. 

And sometimes when it's rough it's hard to see that there is beauty in the world and that it will get better.

It has to rain before the rainbow, right? 

So here are my 3 goals for the week:

1) Spend time outside each day. Being outdoors is a great way to feel connected to something bigger. And it's a great way to calm your mind. Right about now my husband would be calling me a hippie!  ha!

2) Buy fresh flowers for the house, something small to make me smile.

3) And for my third goal, I love what Lauren said about not speaking negatively about your spouse. But not only your spouse I think it's important to not speak negatively about anyone you love. So this week I'm only going to speak words of love. 

xo!

8 weeks to a better me: Week 3

This week it's about eating healthy...which is something I definitely struggle with.
I blame it all on Diet Coke & Nutella.
And I've realized that if I did eat better all those hours in the gym will actually start paying off.

Last week one of my goals was to drink more water, and it wasn't too bad, I just added lemon and a sprinkle of splenda, so I think I'll keep it up this week too.

3 goals

1) Keep drinking lemon water, and less soda.
2) Eggs for breakfast and not the usual frozen waffle duo.
3) And I loved the idea of packing a healthy snack in my purse. The thought of having homemade trail mix as a snack versus a fruit snack that Lucas decided to share with me sounds so much better.

8 weeks to a better me: Week 2

It's week 2 of 8 weeks to a better me, and this week it's about staying healthy and working out, which I'm really excited about.

Last week I was definitely more motivated and excited to blog, and I did okay with my goals.

Actually I did really badly I'm not going to lie.

I missed 2 out of the 3.

But this week I'm gonna get all 3!

Week 2 Goals:

1) No more snacking past 8:00 pm. (Husband, please hold me to this!)

2) Drink WAY more water. And WAY less soda.

3) Work out in the morning versus the night. I love starting the day after a work out and leaving the gym when the sun is out will be a great change of scenery.

I hope you do great with your goals this week!

8 weeks to a better me: Week 1

The sweet and oh so adorable Danielle from Sometimes Sweet is starting a new series on her blog called "8 weeks to a better me."

The challenge is to set 3 small attainable goals for yourself each week for 8 weeks. Easy enough right?

The first series was on blogging, and although I blog enough it's not consistent and very sporadic, so 3 goals for blogging is right up my alley.

Here are my 3 goals:

1) Blog at least 5 times a week.

2) Capture and blog about some of my favorite things about my city.

3) Highlight a few of my favorite daily blog reads.

Let me know if you are doing it too! xo
