As most of you probably know, in addition to blogging, I run my own social media marketing agency so it is pretty easy to get wrapped up on my computer and not prioritizing staying active.

In today’s post, I’m sharing how to juggle a busy schedule while staying active and making time to eat right and exercise.

Put it on your calendar // When it comes to exercise, personally, if it is not on my calendar, it’s not happening! Putting it on your calendar and making it a non-negotiable will help you better prioritize your wellbeing.

Take time for self-care // I don’t know about you, but when we’re constantly busy, self-care can begin to take a back seat if we’re not careful.

During the Summer months, I find that getting a little vitamin D while sitting on the patio next to my husband with a Michelob ULTRA Lime Cactus in hand helps me unwind and relax from a long day.

Since it only has 5.5 carbs and 95 carbs, its almost guilt-free but make sure to drink responsibly as too much of anything is not always a good thing.

If I’m feeling a little bolder, I’ll opt for the Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold which has only 2.5 carbs and 85 calories.

These two options are better for you than the average beer.

Start small // I’m one of those people who will fail miserably if I cut out all the bad foods and try to put myself on a five-times-a-week workout schedule from the get go. If that sounds overwhelming to you, then start small. Go for a bike ride or walk a couple of times a week and start working your way up to more and more exercise time as you go.

Make exercise more fun // I know I’m less likely to workout if it’s something I don’t enjoy like lifting weights so spruce up your routine a little bit by trying a cycling or dance class instead of the same old tired routine.

The blog has been a bit quiet lately and I’ve missed posting here more often. Confetti Social is my priority at this time and while I still love this blog of mine, unfortunately, it has to take a backseat sometimes. I really want to be more consistent here and I will try my best but I can’t make any promises right now so just stick with me and hopefully, I’ll be able to commit to something a little more consistent soon.

Reading: I’m not currently reading anything but I’m ready to dive into my spring reading list headfirst. Reading is always so relaxing for me.

Listening to: I have taken a bit of a pause with podcast consumption as well but I have been tuning into my favorites in my free time. Any favorite podcasts that you listen to? Let me know in the comments.

Watching: Most of my shows are on break right now but I’m excited for the Bachelorette to come back. I’m also rewatching One Tree Hill for the seventeenth time so there’s that.

Working on: My business has been taking most of my energy as of late and I’m completely okay with that. It’s tiring at times but I’ll be headed on a trip soon enough and hopefully, I’ll be able to recharge then.

I can’t believe we’re already almost to April. I’m excited to share what’s on my spring reading list today.

Verity // Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite authors so its no surprise that one of her books is on my reading list. After reading the synopsis, I am so excited for this one.

An Unwanted Guest // I have read 2 of Shari Lapena’s books and they are just so good. I am all about a good thriller so I can’t wait to check this one out.

Then She Was Gone // Another thriller, who is surprised? Not me. I am also excited to check this one out. I have also read at least one book by this author so I’m ready to devour another one of her novels.

The Lies We Told // I haven’t read anything from this author yet but I have seen it on a few people’s to be read lists so I am intrigued.

The Last Time I Lied // And yet another mystery book. If you can’t tell, mystery is pretty much my favorite genre.

All Your Perfects // And because I love Colleen Hoover so much, I added this one to the mix too. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t read it yet so I’m stoked to dive in.

What’s on your reading list this season? Any one genre that you tend to gravitate towards? Please feel free to let me know down in the comments.

 

This is probably weird to say but January felt like both the shortest and longest month at the same time. I didn’t set monthly goals in January because I usually do my goals list for my birthday. This year it was 28 goals before I turn 28 next January.

I’ve already been working towards some of those goals like…

– Reading several books already

– Getting into a consistent gym routine

– Losing weight (I’m down 6 lbs already)

– Making more meals at home

–  And so much more

I’m excited to see what all I accomplish over 2019 and can’t wait to cross more of my goals off my list.

February Personal Goals 2019

Read two books // Last month I read two books so this month I want to read at least two books again this month.

Continue working out and losing weight // In January, I lost around 6 lbs and I want to continue losing weight and getting my booty into the gym at least 2x a week if not more.

Save money // December is usually a crazy spending month for me with the holidays, my mom’s birthday, and then my own birthday at the very beginning of January so that means my credit card bill in January is usually astronomical so I’m going to try and save as much money as possible this month.

Your Turn:

What are your goals for this month? Please feel free to let me know down in the comments.
