Island Life Update
So what has life been like on Nantucket? As I put together this blog post I am currently wearing long leggings, a long heavy sweater, and I have a blanket covering my legs. The wind is howling. It is only in the 30's and it has been snowing, raining, and grey for days. HA! This kind of weather makes me very stir crazy...But yet Nantucket is still beautiful! Looking at the positive side of this kind of weather...It is forcing me to hunker down and do the things I am supposed to do.
My Mom pointed out last week that I have a tendency to put things off...And just like everything else, Mom is right. When it comes to certain chores I definitely hold off until the last minute. It is not a good attribute, but now that Mom really brought it to my attention I am working on it.
Otherwise, island life is good! We are doing well...having fun...and ready for warm sunny days! So let us dive into this post before I write a novel...XOXO
WORK...I am busy! If you asked me a few years ago what I would be doing for work, being a full-time blogger and Social Media Manager was definitely not part of the plan. It is amazing how our careers and goals can change and sometimes they just fall into place without us even realizing it. I no longer do personal training, although I would like to build up some clients for the summer. I manage 3 company's social media accounts; I contribute monthly to Core Power; I write and work on building my own brand and business. It is a lot, but I like it. And yes at times it is overwhelming and non-stop, but I work for and with great companies and great people, and I know that this hard work WILL pay off. #dreamBIG
DATING LIFE...The struggle is for REAL! Dating is frustrating these days and when you live on an island it is just that much harder. I guess I am just having one of those moments, where I wonder if I will ever find someone...Am I going to be alone forever? It sounds kind of sad to say out loud, but it is definitely something that I have been thinking about as of lately because I am ready for LOVE! I have tried some dating apps, but the choices are slim and there are just a lot of weird people out there...Swipe to the left to guys who wear tank tops...Take selfies shirtless in front of the mirror...who are interested one minute and disappear the next and never return. Why is this so difficult? What has happened to real men? HA! I really need to just write a post on what it is like to date 30 miles out at sea and just date nowadays! Yes or No?
EATS...You all already know that I love to cook and I love to cook easy, simple, healthy, and delicious meals! I am also grateful for companies that help me create these delicious meals with their products. I have been using Simply Organic seasonings in almost every dish and Primal Kitchen's avocado oil and salad dressings for most dinners! These cooler temperatures have had me craving lots of healthy fats, protein, and carbs. I like to have heavier carbs at night...It works for me and helps me sleep better! Here are a few of my favorite eats this week...
Typical Breakfast...Eggland's Best + Fruit + Salba Chia + NUT BUTTER
Costco Ribs + Simply Organic Seasonings + Greek Salad with Primal Kitchen Dressing
Costco Asian Chicken Wrap (I like to broil this sandwich to make the tortilla extra crispy)
What kind of foods is your body currently craving this week?
If you are single, do you use dating apps, if so which one?
