Wrap ups  /  February 3, 2019

New Look + New Theme// Weekly Wrap Up

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares3
Weekly Wrap Up is a weekly post in which I recap the week, showcase new books received, and highlight what’s to come! Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s reviews & The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Hello!

Blog

  • I *tried* to make some changes to the blog earlier this week and failed miserably. I was waiting for days for help so I just said F it and bought a new theme. I planned to anyway, just not yet.
  • There will be some SHOPs on the blog in the coming weeks. Look for interviews, coupon codes and giveaways. Spoiler alter: tote bags, cards, and maybe some candles?
  • If you love romance books, and listen to audiobooks and/or Podcasts, I HIGHLY recommend Read Me Romance. It’s two authors (Alexa Riley & Tessa Bailey) and we get steamy reads for free every week. Seriously, check it out!

Life

  • Not a whole lot going on at the moment. At least, not anything NEW.
  • I’ve been looking at houses for the past couple weeks and I am itching to buy and move. It wont be for another.. 5-ish months, but dang. Couldn’t happen soon enough!

Fitness

  • I’ve been taking more pictures lately, and I’m starting to see more results (and feel them too!) my goal isn’t to lose WEIGHT per se, but lose FAT. 
  • I will be signing up for my first 5k next week. It’s called Run Your Bundt’s Off. LOL I love it.
  • 5 gym visits/workouts this week! (Sun-Sat)

Share with me:

  • How was your week?
  •  Are you watching the game today? What was your favorite commercial?

I’m finally on the path to following one of my d I’m finally on the path to following one of my dreams.

I’m starting school next month to pursue my dream of becoming a Midwife. It’s been a long time dream since having my first son 17 years ago.

Even though I’m in my 30’s, I’m going for it. Don’t let anyone, especially YOU, stand in your way.

Hello there! 👋 Fancy an update? . I’ve been a Hello there! 👋 Fancy an update?
.
I’ve been a bit absent from Instagram for the past few weeks. There are a few reasons for this, and I wanted to update you and share them.

1) Imposter Syndrome — I’ve been dealing with feeling inadequate in all aspects of life & blogging. It’s a personal thing I’m working on, but the struggle is REAL.

2) Time — Working, blogging, self care, family... and trying to grow this page was becoming too much and I needed some time to regroup.

3) Reflection— again, I’ve been trying to do too much at once, and I’m not happy with the direction I was taking things. I’ve been using this time to focus on my direction and what I plan to do.

Building up our brand and profiles is hard work - I’ve always know this. But working through personal struggles while trying to find my purpose and direction has been hard, too.

Have I figured it all out? Not even a little bit. But I have a plan, a path, and a goal.

If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone! And I’m here to chat, too!

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below ⬇️

It was a pretty boring weekend here - with the anticipation of Tropical Storm Isaias, it was better to stay indoors. Luckily, we didn’t get anything but a bit of rain.

This week - I’m hoping to make it to the beach one day and finish up my first guide. I’m digging deep for some motivation but also ready to slay my goals! 🗡️ 

How do you get motivated for the week?

    The blog theme looks good!

    Good luck with the fitness mission. Running a 5k is one of my goals this year… But I’m in need of serious training first! lol

      Thanks! I really love it. I haven’t made many changes, either!

      I can help! There are some great apps too that will help with running. Taking is slow and easy is best 🙂 let me know if you want to know which apps I use.

    I have a shop with some great reader goodies. I could give you a coupon code! DM me @ReadingAddicted and I can get you the link and code!

    I love hearing about your fitness. I’m trying so hard to get to the treadmill at least 3 times a week just to get started and am finding that difficult. I would love to be able to run a 5K but even at my healthiest, with some heart and lung issues I just can’t get a good run. I can do intervals, at least I used to be able to, but doctor put me on this stupid workout plan that had absolutely no challenge and I just quit. Fast forward to now and a lot of pounds later, I need to get back in shape. I look forward to hearing what you are up to! How do you fit it all in?!

      Awesome! I will DM you!

      I’m glad to hear it. I love sharing all about it. How about walking the 5k? I haven’t run a 5k straight through! I walk for 30 sec intervals if I’m tired, or honestly, on a hill LOL

      I don’t know how I fit it all in. I will be starting softball soon, and meeting at a book club and I’m nervous about TIME

    Ooh, I’ll have to check out that podcast. I’m almost done listening to the backlog of What Should I Read Next, so it’ll be nice to have another bookish podcast in my queue!

    You’re doing awesome with the fitness goals! I’m *really* hoping to be able to start walking regularly again once it warms up- I can’t get any more specific when it comes to setting goals than that, because my body is a jerk and I have some medical conditions that sometimes make even walking across a room difficult and painful. Before this set in (and even during my good times), I’ve always loved going for 3-5 mile walks. Nothing relaxes me more, and to not be able to do this regularly drives me NUTS. So enjoy that 5K for me! I’ll cheer you on from the blogosphere!!! 😀

      I love the podcast. the ladies are hilarious!

      I think setting a goal to walk 1-2 days a week when it’s nice out IS a good goal to have. Write it down where you can see it and cross it off as you go! No need to do have an elaborate plan.

      and yay! I need all the cheering I can get!
