2017 /// FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT

You would most likely see me wearing this outfit on my day off running errands. I like to be comfortable and pretty much stay in pajamas all day when I'm not working. When you have that "Oh Shit moment" and you gotta run to the grocery store or the post office no problem! Throw on a long coat and cool kicks and boom problem solved, who cares if you run into someone you know. You'll look like you made effort. And... I look like I'm into football right? Jacob wishes... FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT!

2017 snuck up on us, am I right? I wasn't even close to being prepared! But since it's here, I am totally welcoming it with open arms. One of my favorite things to do on New Year's Day is look back at the previous year and create new goals and resolutions. I enjoy figuring out the small realistic changes I can make, to make this year the best year. My second favorite NYD tradition is going on a run or working out on Jan 1 to set my physical tone for the year. 

This New Year's Day, we went to Orange Theory with our friends Carrie (she's an instructor) and her husband Matt. It was a lot of fun getting in a good sweat, in good company. One important thing we decided to make priority this year was to choose activities that are healthy for us over any other social activity. We kind of got carried away last year and I didn't make my health a priority which is not good for me mentally or physically. I don't know why either because I love working out and finding new activities. Anyway I'm thankful we have a handful of friends who live that active lifestyle because they inspire us and push us. It's like mama always said, "You are what you hang around!" 

Another really big goal for me this year and one of the most important ones is take interest in the activities Jacob loves. He's really good at taking interest in things I like, but I need to work on it.  Last year I decided to start snowboarding again because he loves it, and we had never gone together! And you know what? We had a blast! We went twice last year. I actually really got into this time and I think it's mostly because we were doing it together. And let's be honest, he's super hot doing his thing. So that wasn't hard.... BUT This year I'm gonna try to watch football or wrestling with him every once in awhile without complaining or making comments 😂😭  wish me luck because I really hate it. He seems to think if I understand and learn the game that I will like it... Little things make a huge difference, especially in marriage. So wrapping it up with this! Make small changes that improve your life instead of a long list of dont's. Try new things and if you suck at it but you enjoy it and you want that end goal. 2017 FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT! 

When my friend Danielle was shooting me I decided the title in my posts will be goals or things I want to achieve in 2017 regardless of what I am wearing in it. Ha! Lets see how long I can keep it up!
