Ok so Last week marked the beginning of May. That puts us one
quarter of the way done with the year. I
think that makes it a pretty good time to check in with all of my goals since
New Years. I’m including, fitness, life, and blogging in all of this so
sorry if it gets a little wordy on you.
Fitness:
I am pretty much on track with where I wanted to be with my
fitness goals. I have fallen back into love with lifting, and I am seeing someamazing results from it. However the
last few weeks there has been a lot of discussion about running events with
friends, and even triathlons. So I think it is time to reassess my goals and plan, maybe add a little more running in.

Life:
Maybe I should re-title this section to wedding/event planning.
I’m way behind on the wedding planning front, as I haven’t done a damn thing. In
my defense I have 17 months, and no I don’t want to hear that it will be gone
before I know it, or it will sneak up on me or any of that crap. I HAVE 17
MONTHS OK? In every other respect I am swamped with friends and family having
babies, weddings, and the usual summer events that I like to go to. So I guess that’s
good? It’s pretty overwhelming to be honest, and I would really love for everyone
to take a chill pill. Life is not pinterest
perfect people, get over it and enjoy the imperfections!!!!!

Blogging:
I didn’t really start off the year with any blogging goals,
but that has changed. I really enjoy watching this little space grow, and have
really fallen love with camera practice. I also really like how this space
helps cultivate my creativity and push my personal boundaries. Ideally I would
want to create a cohesiveness that can extend over to my shop and all of my
social media. I guess you would call this a brand, but what I am really looking
for is a unique style that I can carry with me for a good long while, instead
of redesigning my blog every few months, and not having it match anything. I
also want to challenge myself to create some new posts beyond the basic recipes
and adventures I usually post. I want to show more of myself, and my interests.

Overall I think I am doing ok, and things are going good. I’m going to be adding more running workouts to my routine. I’m going to take every opportunity I can relax, since those moments are going to be few and far between soon. I’m also going to be making a few changes around the blog so keep an eye out.
What are your goals this year?
How are you doing with them?
Good for you with the progress on your fitness goals! I should do a goal review. Hmmm.
In regards to the wedding planning – we started seriously planning 20 months out, but it depends on what kind of wedding you want. We had 95 guests, many coming from out of town, and we were doing the whole big venue/DJ/photographer shebang. And it's a good thing we started that far out since our top choice venue had many dates already booked in the month and year we wanted, and our top choice for a DJ was not available. All things wedding book out 18-24 months in advance on average. But if you're not having that kind of wedding, you don't need that kind of planning. My sister planned her wedding in 4 months and it was lovely. But there were also only 8 guests 🙂
Looking forward to upcoming changes and such with your blog and brand!
Thank You!!
great work with your fitness goals! and for your wedding planning just take your time. i'm getting marred in 4 months and still being a lazy planner haha.
haha! You do make me feel so much better about it!
