Long Awaited Update

11:26

Hi! It's been a while, I know. Working 10+ hours a day, coming home and doing my self care, and going to bed takes a lot out of a gal! I figured I would share an update on why I haven't found the time to blog lately, and what's been eating up my time other than work.

I started this *little* program on Beach body called 80 Day Obsession back in mid Jan! I have officially surpassed the month long hull of working out every evening, 6 days a week, and sticking with a meal plan. Man, it's exhausting! My progress has shown me little weight loss, but the amount of strength and confidence I've gained from this program is more than I could have imagined! Within a month I've gained full bicep muscles, triceps, and my thighs feel like they could crush a watermelon. Okay .. maybe not but some days they feel like they could!

So this is my version of self care right now, and I have to say it's really helping. I have NEVER stuck with a program like this before, where I take in the meal plan as well and stick with it. While doing this, it's got me thinking that maybe I'd like to try and sign up to be a coach with BeachBody. But I know me, I know I struggle with "recruiting" people, or just overall boasting about myself, but as one of my work buddies may know, I share my progress a lot right now because I feel so proud of myself. (I probably annoy her form time to time, ha!) I don't think I'll go full on coach, but I have had a few friends and family members say that somehow I've inspired them to do their exercise. Which is crazy to me! Even one of my bosses started going back to her cross fit! I love that I've been able to do that from just caring for myself.

Enough about that, I wanted to share my other self care habit I've built. BULLET JOURNALLING!



I find that bullet journalling has released the creative side back in me out again, and I love it. I bought proper pens to work on lettering, which is hard and I've not sat down long enough to practice it more, but I'm finding inspiration everywhere, and really enjoying implementing those creative juices into the journal. Also, tracking my hours, 80 Day goals, moods, expenses, all in one journal is awesome. 

I hope to be updating you guys more with result photos from my 80 day obsession journey, and more bullet journalling posts in the future. I am sorry for not posting in such a long while, but my Instagram is up and running, and I am so very close to 500 followers!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!
