Workout Dilemma

Image result for working outHey guys,
Today's blog is all about the hard truth we're all trying to manage. Some people love working out, some hate it. Some are naturally healthy eaters, others not so much. I'm somewhere in the blurred lines. I love food, but I can fight cravings, most of the time. I don't mind working out, once I'm in the gym, mindset and ready to go, but getting there is the issue.

I'm no gym buff, but I like to do some 30 day challenges; basics, nothing fancy Nancy over here. I usually find the challenges I want to follow on Pinterest because they have so many great options. I just enjoy letting out some steam, especially when I'm stressed or mad. I really wish I could say I loved the gym, I went 3-4 times a week and I know exactly how to eat right. Nope, your girl loves her Oreo's, carbs and damn gimme some sugar. If I know I'll be eating really unhealthy soon, for example a family event or vacation, I'll be more conscious of what I'm eating leading up to that. Otherwise, don't touch my nachos!

I usually do working out in phases. For about a year I had a personal trainer with my sister. Then when the payments became a lot, I decided I knew enough exercises to go at it alone. Which was true but the motivation was hard to find. After that I took a break from the gym, a long break. Then signed up to a new gym for four months, and with the goal of getting my body summer ready I went 3 times a week continuously, but I got so demotivated by the lack of results.

Lately, I'll be honest, I haven't done much, I workout here and there, but it isn't anything consistent. I've started getting slightly more into it as the winter comes, but only to help myself avoid getting sick. I do really want to aim at a 2 workout per week goal, but I also know that it gets busy in the semester and who knows if that will happen.

Down below are some challenges I've tried and liked in the past, all taken from online. I usually choose the exercises I like best and then continue with those and disregard the ones that I liked least. I'll keep you guys posted if some workout miracles or healthy eating tips pop up along the way!

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We didn't buy the

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute

Wedding planning

Hello hello beautiful people! My goodness it feels like a lifetime has passed since I last typed onto this page. I have had a tone of TikTok success and I won't lie, it took all my attention! Lately my life revolves around my full-time job, wedding planning and trying to save money... not easy considering the wedding planning.  Here are some high level updates as to our wedding planning and stay tuned for a tone more updates and wedding content coming! 1. The venue, the vendors and the plan are all set! I was pretty lucky that my fiancé and I had a very similar vision for our wedding- a big vision. Unfortunately, we were a bit naive as to what the cost of that would be, but we are certainly learning to plan and save money more than ever. It is also the first time we are in situations where we need to decline plans because they are simply too expensive. Overall, the quick first months of engagement were really successful in planning and locking in location, vendors and putting down
