Weekly Wishes


Happy Monday everyone!  I hope that your weekend was lovely!  This weekend I did a lot of nothing really, a little cooking, a lot of blogging and blog reading.  I feel like most of my extra time goes toward my blog, and I am totally okay with that!  It's nice to have a hobby that creates such a wonderful, diverse community.  I haven't said it in a while but I really love this whole blog thing.

But now, onto my weekly wishes!  Most weeks I am bursting at the seams when it comes to things I want to accomplish.  This week is kind of a breather for me.  I love being on the go, either literally or when it comes to getting through my to-do list, but I am a little worn out.  So, this week I want to...
  1. Cut out bread.  I don't talk about this a lot (or ever) on here but I am in the midst of a push to lose the last bit of weight that I have gained over the past year.  It's not bad but there is a certain weight that just feels comfortable to me and I want to get back to it. I'm not necessarily cutting out carbs, just unnecessary, filler calories.
  2. Work on a new project.  I have had a blogging series idea floating around for a while and I am finally ready to put it into action!  I am super excited about this and it involves some really inspiring ladies.  More on this to come but I hope to start working on it this week.
  3. No shopping!  I really need to take a whole month off of shopping but for now we are going to shoot for a week.  I am so bad about ducking into Target and leaving with things that I don't need, not even a little bit. 
So how was everyone's weekend? What are your wishes this week?  

PS - I am putting together a group giveaway for February!  This month I'd like to give away a gift card to Madewell.  If anyone is interested in participating, let me know :)

  1. Cut out bread...that is a good one! A few months ago I tried cutting out bread and it was difficult at first but now I don't even "crave" it anymore. Good luck on your weekly wishes!

  2. I'm thinking of cutting out bread in March for the month! We have too much wheat in the house to do it now but in March, for sure!

  3. Great goals for the week! I love taking on new projects :) I can't now, because I'm a bit overwhelmed (because of my love for taking on new projects) so I will live vicariously through you!

  5. I can't wait to see your new project! I love finding a new blog series to follow. ...and good luck with that cutting out bread goal. The breads here in Germany are heavenly, so it would kill me to not be able to eat them. Have a great week!

  6. Are we twins? Your goals are like the same with mine! Hahaha. I've been doing no-wants challenge too. For me I'm weak with food, it seems like I always want to get takeaway! Good luck for you!!

  11. I find online shopping is the worst for me. I never used to do it but now I get so many emails and I 'need' all of it!
    Your new series sounds interesting :)

  12. Thank you! Yeah, I actually went through my email and unsubscribed to them all so that I wouldn't be tempted!

  13. Thank you! It really is, the temptation is everywhere!

  18. Ooooh goodness, I can't even imagine, the bread must be amazing. Luckily my main bread source is a loaf of sandwich bread… hopefully I won't miss it too much. You have a wonderful week as well, lady!
