Sunday Cycle

Today has been lovely. Woke up to no alarm which is always a bonus! Watched britains got talent from last night with a bacon butty and a brew!! 

We've just come back from a lovely bike ride around the villages. We've cut it a bit short as we're going out but still over 11 miles isn't bad! Just going to walk the dog and then chill in the sun for the afternoon 😄🕶☀️🍸🌯🍴

Hope everyone else is having a nice Sunday 

Last few days ...

Hi! 

I just wanted to tell you about my last few days. I've been very busy so not had a chance to post any pics yet! 

Friday

We were up at 6am to walk the doggy! It was a good start to the day. Robbie went to work and I went home and made a lovely quiche for lunch then went to work at 2pm. 

Saturday

I got up early for the dog and didn't have much time for the gym so decided to do a little work out at home. I am starting light and have just used what weights I had at home (wine bottles!!). It was definitely a good workout as I'm feeling it today!! I then went to what Robbie calls 'fat club' AKA slimming world. I cycled up which I really enjoyed and took me about half an hour with all my bike issues that happened along the way!! I got weighed and maintained but that's ok because that's really the aim at the moment as I'm not far from target.  Then did loads of house work. Robbie made a courgette planter whilst I sipped a G&T 😎. We went out to so bar in Harrogate for some food then met some friends for cocktails in town in the evening. 

Hello World

Hi everyone

For those who know me well I have been suffering with a bad back for 3 years now. I have ceased all exercise because it's too painful. I have decided that I am going to start again and push through the pain because ultimately it will make me better! 

I am going to track my progress with the help of my blog. It keeps me motivated as of course I have to have something to say at the end of the day! 

It will be a slow and steady process but I am feeling motivated and am hoping I can update the world on my progress tomorrow.

Thanks  for reading ✌🏻

I'm back!!!!

Gosh it's been a while!! 

Some of my fans have said they have missed me so I can't disappoint!!

I did the c9 cleanse before my holiday. It was 9 days of mainly 2 shakes and 600 calories. I found quite easy as I was working so in a way was easier not having to decide what to eat. I lost 8 pounds in 9 days which I was pleased with as weight loss had been slow. I have now lost 13 pounds in total and am feeling much better about myself. Again weight loss is a bit stagnant at the moment but I'm happy with what I have already done!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday! We went to magaluf. It did wonders for my mental health!! I've been a perfect(ish) wifey since I have been back! See pics of holiday below. You will see daquari palace which is my favourite place on earth. Looking out over the beautiful beach it sells about 20 different daquaris and you don't have to wait as they are all in slushi machines. 

I want to train for a 10k run before October so I will keep everyone updated.

I wanted to tell you all about yesterday... I worked like a crazy person at home before going to work!! I did 5 loads f washing. I made leek and potato soup with potatoes out the garden and homemade bread. The bread I definitely recommend .... It was half white flour and half lidl rye bread mix! I also made some iced green tea to take to work which was delicious. 

I got creative yesterday. I have 5 naked palettes (that's eyeshadow boys!). I was looking at them all thinking could I switch them round? I didn't want to do too many and risk breaking them so I decided to move all the naked basic colours into the empty slots in the other palettes. This left me with an empty naked basics palette so I decided to melt lipstick into each slot which means I can take multiple colours out with me! Picture below!!!

The final thing I wanted to discuss is my new supplements. I was taking some in the c9 cleanse with green coffee bean extract and green tea extract which give you energy, boost metabolism and suppress appetite. I have found a similar one at lidl. Only £2.49 for 60 tablets. After 1 day taking them I did feel they gave me energy. It was actually yesterday I took them and I did 5 loads of washing!! Hehe :) 

That's everything that I would like to share for now. I will keep you update with my 10k progress and my life in general because I know you all love it ;) 

Satisfying

It's been ages! I've not lost any weight but I have stayed the same. It has been lovely fitting into clothes easier. I am going to try the 9 day cleanse to boost my weight loss before my girls holiday! For now let me show you my home grown lettuce, potatoes and broccoli for tonight's tea. It's very satisfying when you have grown your own. It's a healthy tea which I have continued to do but the snacks and alcohol have crept back in. I have been doing some good exercise too so I am trying not to beat myself up too much especially as I have been very busy working and visiting our weddig venue!!! Looking forward to sending out those invitations! :) 

Weigh day!!

I have lost 2 pounds this week which I am moderately happy with!! I think I need to shake up the diet again next week. The biscuits and crisps have crept in ever so slightly :o . These are now banned!! I have made some flapjack which should settle any sweet cravings this week and fill me up!! 

I would really like to do another long bike ride this week and get to the gym twice. I would also like to do another 5k run so there's lots to keep me busy!! 

Today has been a very chilled day! I went to my mums for a healthy omelette breakfast. We then went to look at a wedding venue, did the shopping and now I've just been chilling and doing a spot of baking/sunbathing!! 

For lunch I have had some leftover pork spag bol and a handful of grapes. 

In total I have lost 9 pounds which is the weight of 3 bricks. I'm glad I don't have to carry those 3 bricks around any more!! My clothes are fitting better which has allowed me to wear more and I'm keen to keep going!! In other news my back pain has improved and I have taken no codeine for 7 days! Woop!! It makes such a difference to my mood when I wake up virtually pain free!!!! :) 

Aiming for 3 pounds next week which will put me at 11st 9 lbs (only 2 pounds off my first stone lost!!!) 

I heard a saying although I can't remember how it was said but it asked you to think about where you want to be next week and if you carry on as you are will you achieve that? ...... I think with an extra push I can get to where I want to be and be nearly half way there by next week!! 

Love to you all x

Friday Night Challenge

I did not have the energy to upload this last night but...

We decided to go for a bike ride and Robert asked me how far I could go so I told him I'm up for a challenge. We ended up going round all the little villages via boroughbridge and through some more villages. It was really nice. The sun was out and it was very picturesque. We did 20 miles which is the furthest I have done on my bike in one go so I was very proud of myself!! I'm hoping it will boost my weight loss for this week. I am hoping to loose 3 pounds which I have already checked is the weight of a brick!! :)
