faves on friday

i'm so glad it's friday!  this week has been a long one and we have a lot of fun planned for this weekend.  i can't wait to get home and get the party started!

i'm trying to spend less time online, but i still have some faves this week.

blog posts:

i'd rather be a little fluffy, thanks - this post explains how i feel about fitness so well.  i want to be fit.  i want to take care of myself.  but i don't want to be obsessed.  or miserable.  or no fun because i am so focused on counting calories and working out.  a must read!

breathe - this post came at the perfect time, thanks simple mom! this was a busy week at work and boy did i need the reminder to just calm down and breathe.

website:

free range kids - what a great mission!  reminding us that our kids need freedom to be kids.  i plan to come back to this site again and again.

books:

The Lost Husband - a great read that i could really relate to.  while it is a love story, it really approaches the topic of being a mom in a great way.

Fat Land - i'm still not done with this one.  slow read, but an important one.  reminding me of the little bad habits that can have a horrible affect on our health.

quote:

as i work my way through focus t25, i have to remind myself of this every. single. day.  and i definitely can say that i am making progress.  but deep down, i'm still wishing for perfection.  hopefully the more i say this, the more at peace i will be with where i am now, knowing that i am making progress every day.

happy friday all!  i'll be back tomorrow, i hope, with an update on my focus t25 progress!

today's a tired day.  three late nights in a row.  three early mornings.  busy, filled days.  a few more hours until the weekend, thank goodness.  and a cut and color, which is about two months overdue.  i have been mostly happy this week, but have had some down moments.  so glad vacation is coming up soon.  i need to get away from it all and come back to a fresh start.

what i've found this week online that i love:

july 4th - i recently discovered the life with greyson + parker blog.  i think i need to read all of chrissy's posts.  although we have different struggles, i find her to be very inspiring and motivating.  today she talks about facing reality, in a good way.

july #bodyLOVE summer challenge - another new blog for me and another positive message.  this time about body image.  something i struggle with greatly. 

be like the sun - simple mom's monday inspirational pieces are the best!

that's all for now.  it was a busy week with little time surfing the net.  that's a good thing since it meant more time for family and fun.  happy friday everyone!
