• 2017, let the fun begin!

  Posted at 11:07 AM by morningdaydreams, on January 4, 2017

  I am a few days late with my annual New Years post, but I was at home enjoying a few more days with my family before everything kicked off. As usual I love looking back at my resolutions from the previous year. To see my 2016 post, click here.

  I made 3 resolutions last year, make the most of motherhood, work hard to lose the baby weight and go vegan. I know a lot of not so great things happened in 2016, but for me personally it was a great year and I kicked butt at all of my resolutions.

  My role as mom changes with every stage of development, but I am loving every moment. By the end of April I was below pre-pregnancy weight and I have been a happy as can be vegan for a full year now. Go me!

  So whats up for 2017?

  • Work life. 2016 was all about baby, 2017 is about getting back to work. I resigned from my previous job so we could move to our dream home. I am working hard and handing out resumes like crazy and I am working on a little side project, more to come on this later.
  • Keep focused. After breaking my wrist in May, my fitness got slightly derailed. I am on the path to full recovery, so I have rejoined a box and I am staying focused on my fitness goals, even if I have to modify movements.
  • Relationship focus. Like I said, 2016 was all about baby. So 2017 I am working hard to make more time for date nights, try not to get stressed out about every little detail in our lives and just enjoy being husband and wife.
  • Travel. The never-ending life goal. I am hoping everything will settle down in our lives. 2016 had a lot of changes with a baby and a new home. This year I want to take some time to travel, even if that its just locally.

  I am happy with these resolutions/intentions/aspirations! Happy 2017 everyone!

   

  

  This is what happens when you take all your New Years Eve pictures on snapchat… and only save the one of you and your cat =P

   

  Until next time day dreamers.

• 2016, here we go.

  Posted at 1:11 PM by morningdaydreams, on January 1, 2016

  It’s that time of year again! Every year I love looking back at my New Years posts to reminisce on how I thought the year would go and write out a few new resolutions. To start, click here to view my New Year’s post from 2015.

  I had 4 goals last year, 3 of which I am happy to say are 100% still going strong. The first was to “Keep at it” in terms of sticking with Crossfit. Not only do I not see this leaving my life anytime soon, I showed my commitment for a good 8 months while ‘keeping at it’ through out my pregnancy!! If that isn’t commitment… not sure what is.

  My next goal was to eat clean. This one lasted…. for my first trimester of pregnancy. I then wanted nothing but white pasta and tuna sandwiches…you win some, you loose some…right?

  My third goal was to travel more. I still made it out to England in March despite already being 11 weeks pregnant, but this didn’t hinder the travel bug. D and I have some great travel plans pending and I am already kicking off the New Year with Bennett’s first trip to the Bahamas!

  Finally, if you follow my blog… you know by now that there was one HUGE change in our lives last year. My final resolution was to get settled. I didn’t come out and say it, but part of that was thinking about children. D and I didn’t know the timeline of making this happen, we were just insanely lucky to get pregnant and have Bennett so soon! Now all we have to do is buy a house (one day SOOOOON!)

  So whats up for 2016?

  • Enjoy motherhood. I will be spending the majority of 2016 on maternity leave and I couldn’t be happier. Being at home with B is a totally different experience from working, but it has been amazing so far. I feel as if I have a full year to focus on me. I know that sounds a bit odd because my life revolves around a baby, but I think it really helps to put my life in perspective. My family and my well being are the most important things in this world and being able to be home and experience every moment of Bennett’s life is truly amazing.
  • Work hard. Having a baby is no easy task for your body. Everything has changed. I don’t have all the time in the world to eat well and go to the gym. It is going to take determination, super scheduling and hard work to keep on track and get my pre-baby body back. With the support of D I know it is possible though. We have already managed to get our workout routines sorted despite juggling a baby.
  • Go vegan. This one is more of a lifestyle change than a New Years resolution, per se. I have been pescatarian/vegetarian for a very long time, but I decided it was time for a change. I stopped eating most dairy products a year or two ago, but didn’t quite kick cheese. Realizing that my only reason was ‘because it tastes good’ was not a good enough excuse for me any more (especially when I think that is a silly excuse to eat meat). So feeling like a bit of a hypocrite I am making the change. It won’t be easy (at first) but I am excited to make the switch!

  So 2016, here we go! Happy New Year everyone!

  

  Ready for New Years! Bow tie and all!

   Until next time day dreamers.

• A little down time

  Posted at 10:25 PM by morningdaydreams, on January 2, 2012

  Oh New Years, the opportunity for a fresh start and new goals. I didn’t make any firm resolutions for this year, although I am working on my bikini bod, but I had that in my mind long before new years came along.

  My new years ended up being fairly quiet, just myself and a few friends enjoying each others company and some amazing food! I feel as if Christmas was so busy that I was in need of a more relaxing night. It did indeed go much later that I thought, but that’s okay that is what Sunday’s are for!

  I just wanted to do a short little post, as it has been pretty quiet over here at morningdaydreams, I am working on a few posts but to be honest I have been in total lounge mode the last few days and haven’t even thought about opening my computer.

  So just a quick hello and promise that there is more to come. For now, I am off for another late night skating date with D! =)

• Coming to a close

  Posted at 11:37 PM by morningdaydreams, on December 28, 2011

  Well, my trip to Arizona is winding down. I have been able to get lots of golf in, not to mention a great game on Tuesday! Lucky for me, just because I am heading back up north, does not mean that my holiday vacation is quite over!

  Next stop is New years, I am still figuring out what I am going to do (it sucks when all of your friends decide to have parties and you have to decide which one you will attend). Sigh, this is why I wish I had a bigger house, then guess what I would be hosting the party so I could be with everyone!

  All I know at this point is I am wearing my party shoes and a party dress, I don’t even care if it is to a house party!

  So, get ready Canada, I am on my way home!
