A full week into the New Year already??? It’s crazy how time flies, amiright?  I know I shared a few of my goals for 2018 with all of you last week so I thought it would be a fun addition to the blog to include some updates along the way.

First things first, I was up by 5:30am and in the gym by 6am four days last week and already did my Monday work out for this week!  Considering I am NOT an early morning person I would call that some great progress.  The gym sessions have been pretty quick and are more about creating the habit of waking up and going at this point but I have managed to get about 30 minutes of cardio in during each visit. #babysteps

I have also been off carbs, wine, and whiskey for a week now (with the exception of champagne at polo yesterday) and I am feeling so much better already!  Instead of my usual glass(es) of wine after work in am having a Tito’s vodka with club soda and fresh orange which is saving SO much sugar.  Transitioning our dinners has been pretty easy and I have been incorporating tons of salads each night.  Would you guys be interested in some recipes that I love when I’m watching my carb intake?

In exciting blog news I am so thrilled to share that I am now an Amazon Influencer!  A PR team reached out to me mid December and asked me to join the program to share all of my favorite finds from Amazon.  I am still building my list but have a few essentials that I either already own or have on my “to buy” list for you all to check out.  To say I am over the moon about this opportunity is honestly an understatement and I can’t wait to share more finds with all of you this year!

I hope you all had an amazing first week of the New Year!

XO, Niki
