Champagne + Cardigans: Self Improvement 101

Ohhh hey there Monday!!

This weekend, flew by! I was a lot busier than I expected but it was all with fun things - totally a-okay by me.

Even though it was an amazing weekend I'm feeling really amped and ready to get going on the week ahead and linking up with Jenn and Jessica for 5 for Five is just the way to do that. ?This linkup is all about setting FIVE goals for the week and then coming back and checking your progress, so great! ?I haven't set weekly goals this year (what!?) but there's no time like the present!

1. ?Continue logging what I eat via My Fitness Pal

This is an incredible app that sets your calorie intake and then lets you track what you eat! It easy to use, free and SUPER helpful!

2. ?Finish laundry that I started yesterday...

I loaaathhee laundry. ?I always start it on the weekend and usually leave it all clean in a big pile in my room forever and everything ends up being wrinkled. ?Its a mess - I need to just crank it out and get it done ASAP.

3. ?Start a new book!

I finished The Paris Wife a couple of weeks ago for my book club and haven't started another book since! ?I love to read but I always have a hard time cracking a book open for the first time.

4. ?Continue my workouts with Couch to 5K.

Another awesome, FREE, app to help motivate and track you in running. ?I want to be addicted to running - its so good for you body but I just have the hardest time liking it. ?This app does graduated mixes of run/walk to ease you into running a full 5K!

5. ?Stick to my budget plan.

I've set a fairly strict budget plan for the next seven months - its wedding CRUNCH time and we need to make sure everything is paid off and ready to go. ?I have to stick to the plan or else we're gonna be in a serious pickle in a couple of months. ?Plus budgeting is not my forte so I need to learn how to do this regardless!

I seriously need some inspiration this AM...

Cue some great tunes and this day is already off to a great start.

Y'all make sure you stop on by Tales of a Twenty Something and say heyygirrrlll to Allie over there. ?I think she has some exciting news of mine to share with y'all check it out :) Oh and - if you didn't catch it on the Weekly What, I announced the winner of the Dixieland Monogram Lilly Giveaway - Nikki L! ?Hosting that giveaway was just too fun, so in honor of all things Lilly - I am offering HALF OFF all ad spaces with the code, LILLY!

Check it out ASAP - lots of spots opened up this weekend.
