Habits

Sweater:  Target // Skirt:  Old Navy // Boots:  Report

Jett's favorite thing to do is to jump on me when I get home from school.

Lately, I've done a lot of reflecting and thought about the things I used to do that I don't anymore.  Or things I never would've done in the past that are daily habit now.  For instance, I used to wear this skirt a lot when we lived in Alaska.  I barely wore it last year.  I started thinking about how a year or two can change things because on Saturday I went for a massage at Aveda Salon and Spa.  I had a gift card, but it's kind of telling that I spent that gift card on a massage instead of hoarding it for a haircut a few months down the road.  I also would've gotten a pedicure, but it's almost November so I don't know if there's a point to that.

Things I do these days…

Get massages.  

Clean.  I dusted on Saturday.  

Talk to dogs. All the time.

Avoid schoolwork.  I go back and forth on this one.  Sometimes I don't mind grading papers.  Lately, I've minded.

Pilates workouts and foam rolling and Pinterest workouts at home.  

Things I don't do.

Practice intense cardio.

It's too time-consuming when you have a remodel and a full-time job to worry about.  Plus, it can get repetitive.  And let's not talk about the fact that the only cardio classes I can find on the weekends involve a bike.  Ugh.  Not worth it.  

Order 300 calorie drinks from Starbucks. 

Eat oatmeal and drink green smoothies.  My taste for these two things has all but disappeared.  In fact, I used to eat oatmeal every single day because I truly loved it.  Now it makes me gag.  The exception is pre-packaged gluten-free oatmeal.  A GF friend introduced it to me and it has the best flavor, for some odd reason.  Obviously I despise people who go gluten-free when they don't need to, so I try to buy this oatmeal without actually looking anyone in the eye.

Any habits that you've changed lately?  It's interesting to look back through a blog and see how a person can evolve…
