Spring Goals Update


  • A regular exercise routine. 
I have been working out a few times a week. I'd love for it to be every day. So far this week the only day i've taken off is Sunday because I was pretty wrecked from Friday and Saturday! Saturday was an amazing day. We walked into town and went to the weekly community yard sale and the famer's market. I look forward to repeating it this weekend!
  • Taking lots of pictures. (pictures of the gorgeous new springiness!)
We went to DC and the ole camera got a workout. I still need to do a post about the yummy flowers I saw at the botanical gardens! I look forward to visiting again really soon. I would love to go on a weekday in the summer when maybe the crowds would be a bit lighter. I want to get the camera out around Leesburg soon. I'm itching to go spend some time in the wedding garden. Did that too and i'll include those pictures in my upcoming Summer Goals post.
  • Starting and or completing a watercolour.
I've been feeling the need to play with watercolour again. Right before we visited the in-laws last month, I started a watercolour. Then I was lucky enough to see the amazing work of Andrey Avinoff at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. As soon as I came home I completed the painting and posted it a few posts below. I love how it turned out! I feel another one coming on this weekend :)  
  • Spending time outdoors
The weather is amazing so spending time outside is pretty easy and fun again.
  • Eating more greens - trying new vegetables too.
Green smoothies became a definite fave around here! Yummm! We tried a couple new fruits and veggies as well. I'm actually making a jicama salad tonight.
  • Make some jewellery.
I made some mala beads for a local yoga studio and I also made a fun gemstone charm bracelet as well.
  • Not heat style my hair at ALL (not possible but i'm going to try to minimize)
I did heat style my hair this weekend - twice. We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary by spending time in a nearby fave mini city of sorts. I felt a night out on the town deserved getting dressed up for. So i blew out my hair. Then i attended a wedding event on Sunday evening and thought it might be fun to do that again.
Other than that i've found myself loving my natural waves and i'm actually enjoying wearing it natural! Not to mention the time savings of wash n' go hair woo hoo!:D

You got that right,
ALL crossed off.
I'm not comfortable that some of them are 'routine' yet but they have been done, some multiple times!
I feel this life surge almost. This need to jump out of bed and seize the day and I fully believe that it has come from choosing better quality foods and moving more.
I cannot wait till i feel comfortable enough for it all to be habit/ the way I live my life and there is a part of me that is nervous that these new habits won't stick.
A recent trip out of town derailed me. I don't believe in willpower. I believe in planning. Poor planning and wishful thinking lead me down a path of not eating the best things, staying up way past my bedtime, getting stressed about it and ending up sick for almost a week. Next trip out of town needs to be planned better and i need to dump the 'vacation' mentality.
Here's to fun summer goals and whipping through those as well:)
