MHK

Last week was a bit rubbish for me, as I had lots of dinners to go to so I haven't made much progress. I did buy a pair of scales though, and I made myself a healthy lunch for work each day so I did stop grabbing a delicious bacon and Brie baguette every day from work.

This week, however, I'm in a much better position so hopefully I'll have some weight loss to report next week! I'm going to eat healthy meals with plenty of veg.

I probably am the most unfit person ever so I'm petrified of the gym. Instead, I'm going to borrow some home work out DVDs to see what I enjoy.

My water intake is already really good, I drink 2-3 litres every day so I don't need to change that.

I'm definitely going to focus on my fitness as a way of changing my lifestyle.

How's everyone else getting on, one week in?

MHK Challenge

A few weeks ago, when Vicky posted about starting a blogger’s mini health kick, I looked down at my ever expanding waistline and decided to put my name down.

Every Monday, for the next month, I’m going to post about my healthy and not so healthy achievements for that week. Generally, I want to stop eating so many unhealthy snacks and get more active, as my fitness levels are appalling. Even if I completely fail for the first few weeks, I think the act of writing down my bad habits, in public, will spur me on to change my ways!

So that’s me. Any ideas to help a greedy, lazy blogger are greatly appreciated.

Weight Loss-update

I am so chuffed with myself, I thought I’d give you guys an update on my weight. Nearly 8 weeks ago I started a stricter diet in order to lose a bit of weight. Now I am a pound away from losing a stone since I started!! Monday is weighing day for me so if I’m good tomorrow, I might just reach it. This is a massive achievement for me as I have a rubbish relationship with food. I seem to fit the mould of every “type” of eater described by dieticians, obsessive, emotional etc and I’ve found it really difficult.

Today has been the first time I’ve realised how much my body has changed. I’ve wanted some slouchy boyfriend fit jeans for ages, but I know my shape isn’t really right for them. I took a chance on some today and grabbed a size smaller than I have been, and bought them without trying them on. I also bought a top in 2 sizes smaller than I’ve been getting, as they had no others. I tried both of them on a moment ago and they both fit perfectly!! I am now back to a ten on top and a twelve on the bottom. I am SHOCKED. I feel fantastic actually, and this is the boost I’ve needed to carry on. Chuffed isn’t the word.

To celebrate, I need your help. Should I buy this red version of this dress?

I saw it today and loved it. I feel like I might be able to pull it off now. Voting lines are open now and will close at midday tomorrow.

:D

Weight Loss

A few weeks ago I was whinging alot about my weight. I'd been eating terribly for a long time, literally having fast food every day, sometimes having two big meals a day and I just got to a size I wasn't happy with anymore.
So I started my self on a really strict diet. Today was the start of my 3rd week and my weigh in day- I've lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks :D
I haven't joined a slimming club or done any exercise(which I HATE) but I haven't eaten carbs or sugar. I've limited myself to one cup of caffeine a day and I feel great! I can sleep properly at night, no longer feel tired during the day and haven't had a headache. At times it's really hard but I'm so proud of myself that I'm going to carry on until I get to my target weight.
I'll post updates to let you know my progress.
XOXO

Proud

I've already tweeted about this today but I'm so proud of myself I felt it deserved a whole post.
Today I choose clothes, had them in my hand, was queuing at the till...and then decided I didn't want them and put them back!

We had to pop to H&M on the way home(boy wanted new boxers) and my nearest H&M has had a face lift, and suddenly got some amazing clothes in it.
So I started picking out a few things, and some earrings, and make up and shower gel and then I had like £30 worth of stuff.
and I looked at it, and suddenly thought "I really don't need any of this." It was all summer stuff(which apparently doesn't exist in the UK) and I just put it all back and left. I put it back where I found it, having worked in a shop, I know how annoying it is when people just stuff things anywhere close and walked out.
I HAVE NEVER, EVER DONE THIS. EVER.
I'm really pleased, I think this spending less money and wasting money thing is finally hitting home and I feel really good about it. Yay!
XOXO
Edit- As he was really proud of me for this, the bf bought me a treat today. Actually he bought me three tops and some leggings :D I saved money AND got new things.
