February, really? I cannot believe that
January has come and gone. Mean Mr. Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of
winter after seeing his shadow yesterday morning, which I’m pretty sure puts him on
the naughty list for Christmas this year. I mean yeah, it’s early to be on the
naughty list, but that was just rude! Surely I am not the only one ready for
summer time, vacations, boats, & relaxation, right? Didn’t think so! Travel
plans for 2017 are almost finalized and I’m ready to jump into some fun! Any
big travel plans for you this year?
I feel like my last post back in
January started out similar to this but I was seriously MIA from the blog last
month and I’m very sorry everyone! Sometimes life has other plans & those
plans kept me extremely busy with work, play, and everything in between! Since
I was so absent recently from the blog, I really wanted to check in with
everyone & give them a Basically Joy update. You know the usual stuff i.e.
have an IG roundup, let you know what is coming up this month on Basically Joy,
& just to say hey girl heeyyyyy!
A large
majority of my time this last month has been spent getting my rear handed to me
with the workouts my friend/personal trainer, Delani, designed for me. If you
haven’t yet, go check out her YouTube channel or Instagram for some great fitness
tips, workouts, etc! In conjunction with Delani’s workouts, I am also finishing
up the Dietbet hosted by Brandi Laughlin this upcoming week. It has been so much fun & I always love
the support I get from everyone that joins her Dietbets! My work outs have been
going great but I really need to kick my diet into high gear this month – and that
is the plan! Round 2 of “Delani Kicks my Butt” starts on Monday &
strangely, I am looking forward to it! At the beginning of next month (MY
BIRTHDAY MONTH), I am hoping to give my first update/results of how everything
is going. I am excited and nervous to see what progress I’ve made with my body
since I haven’t checked my body inches since I began the process! Fingers
crossed everyone!
This month
on Basically Joy, I am planning on keeping up with all that life entails which
also means several upcoming posts! And
what all will I be sharing this month you ask? Excellent question! A little bit
of what will be happening this month includes some great recipes, some healthy
& some maybe not so much, great deals on fashion, beauty reviews from my January & February Ipsy glambags,
& so much more! I do hope that January treated everyone well and that
February does as well! Until we chat again, check out my IG roundup below &
follow along with me on IG to stay up to date with all my fun!
