Healthy Eating

I'm not exactly a healthy eater. I wouldn't say I eat cheetos every day, but it's difficult for me to cut candy out of my diet. Ha. I've gained a little over 5 pounds from Holiday eating. With Christmas behind me and 2014 ahead of me, I'm ready to eat healthier as well as become more active.

Lately I've been hitting the apartment gym, trying to get rid of a jiggly booty (Tyler would disagree about the jiggly booty) but i've never seen my body this way and it's been a huge wake up call that my metabolism is finally slowing down. What a sad realization!! And y'all, i'm so out of shape. I rode a bike for 5 minutes and was already wanting to faint!

Now that I've done my complaining, I'd love to ask you guys for any health tips you may have or what keeps you healthy. I am hitting up the grocery today for easy meal ideas and will be sharing this next week on the blog.

I purchased these peppers (above) at the grocery store. They came washed and in a zipped bag in the produce. SO delicious!

I also read great benefits on honey, so Tyler stuffed my stocking this year with a honeycomb and Tupelo honey from Savannah Bee Company. Splendid!

I guess you could call this a new resolution of mine. I'm not planning on losing weight, but I want to feel healthier, see sunlight more and be able to run for 5 minutes without wanting to die.

Any tips??

2014 Blog Plans

Since I work from home, I've been begging Tyler for a place where I can store office supplies, feel inspired and get comfy. Seeing as though our bedroom is the brightest place in the apartment, we decided it was a smart idea "build" our office next to the bed. Oh, the joys of apartment living! I dream of an office where I have 500 square feet of bright space! Maybe in our next home...

As you can see, I totally painted all over the walls! Ha! My goal in these next few years is to travel more, so I drew travel quotes everywhere. I don't know how long the quotes will stay on the wall (i'm already thinking of painting over it) but it's definitely inspiring. For the office, I still need pillows for the chairs; a few rugs; cute office supplies; lamps; wall art, etc. So much to do!

I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for reading this blog. I get so much enjoyment out of sharing my life with you and following yours. What would we do without internet!?!? I don't even want to know.

I'm the type of gal who does her best work when goals are set. I've been thinking about where I want this blog to go, and the changes I want to make. Do any of you have "themed" days? For example, Monday is DIY, Tuesday is Recipes, etc. etc. etc. What are your thoughts on this? Pro's and Con's? I've been thinking of doing it to keep myself accountable, but sometimes I feel that I'll be forced to write about something that doesn't inspire me.

I can tell you that I am going to try very, very hard to blog every day. Now that the wedding is over and the planning has ceased, I feel that I have a lot of time to create more content, and that makes my heart happy. I'm going to start two new threads and repeat them every few weeks or so. & that is "Kaylyn Exposed" where I will share things about me that you don't know; and "New & Old" where I talk about things new and old in my life whether it be experiences, materialistic things, etc.

Are there any changes you wish to see on the blog? More DIY, less DIY, more fashion, less fashion, recipes, personal stuff??? Constructive criticism is always appreciated! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Again, thanks for being a reader. I love you people.
