sweets and social media


Lately I've realized that there are two things that I probably legitimately have an addiction to.  And that I just may need to do something about.

Sweets and social media.  

I do not think there is anything wrong with eating sweets and have no desire to rid them from my diet.  However, I do think that I eat too much of them and embarrassingly think about sweets all the time.  Like the second I'm done eating a meal (even breakfast) or when I am bored walking around in circles soothing Addilyn.  I do believe that I'd probably have more energy and feel better about myself if I ate healthier.  I don't think I eat that unhealthy in general, but sweets are no doubt my downfall.  Before getting pregnant I worked out every day which definitely balanced my dessert intake and with not working out close to every day I definitely need to eat less desserts.
 
And then there's social media.  It's like I am antsy if I don't check my phone every twenty minutes or so.  Like I need to see how many people "liked" my last instagram picture or if I got any more emails or comments on my blog post.  It's as if I have to read them or see them right away or they may not be there when I check later.  It's really quite ridiculous.  

Since having Addilyn I spend way more time on my phone.  I look at it when I'm nursing her or when she's sleeping on me.  And even check it often when she's playing with me on the floor.  I definitely don't think there is anything wrong with social media or using it and I have no desire to stop using it altogether, but I think I need to be more mindful of my time.  Or more so how it affects my attitude since I end up doing lots of comparing, judging and assuming when I read through social media.  

I don't know what this looks like with either of these, I just know that I need to work on them.  I want all these things in moderation and know that I am currently using both too much.  

Now please tell me you can relate?  Because I really don't understand people who say that aren't "dessert" people.  Is that really possible?

High Five for Friday


dress: c/o sugarlips   boots: old navy  sweater & tights: kohls

1. Christmas Eve outfit.  

2.  I hope you all had a great Christmas! Our Christmas was wonderful and I am loving all the time I get to spend with my family this week.





3.  This week a few of my good friends from high school came in to town and we got to go out to lunch. It was so fun seeing them!


4.  Two of my favorite recent presents are these two scarves.  One from my sister and one from my sweet friend Alison.  Animal print and polka dots.  They both know me well!



5.  After getting an elephant scarf, I may just have enough animal printed things.  Just maybe.   I've seen so many cute things with anchors on them, like this sweater.  And will be adding it to my list!
