Aloha! The other week whilst I was munching away on another family sized bag of mini eggs, I realised that it's approaching the one year until my wedding mark and I didn't have long to healthily lose the weight I want to for the big day!

So I decided it was time to start the wedding shred! I stepped on the scales and recorded my starting weight - 13st 9lbs. How on earth did that happen! I've put on almost 1.5 stone since this time last year!! (I blame alcohol, Ice cream and mini eggs!) At only 5ft tall, this weight puts my BMI in a disgustingly unhealthy position so I really need to do something about it!

After 1 week of healthy eating and regular exercise, my weight is now 13st 6lbs! That's a pretty good 3lb loss in the first week! 

I've started off nice and easy with cutting out sugary snacks and introducing a lot more vegetables to bulk out my meals! I'm cutting out bread this week, swapping my lunch time sandwich for a salad! 

I've also been using the my fitness pal app to count my calories, started going for a 20 minute walk around the block on my lunch hour, and we bought a collapsable exercise bike so I can exercise in the house in front of the TV!

Hopefully this week will be just as successful!

Weigh-In Wednesday!

Hello Everyone!
It's weigh in Wednesday again, and once again I have maintained the same weight! It is starting to get rather frustrating that I'm not losing any weight each week so tonight I am going for a big healthy food shop! As we've been away so much lately, we've not had time to fill our fridge, which is probably contributing to me not losing weight! We keep having to grab a ready meal on our way home! 
Fingers crossed next week will be more successful!

Weigh in Wednesday #3

So in the last week I've kinda fallen off the diet wagon. Oops!
What with deadlines at uni and our anniversary at the weekend, I just haven't had time for healthy eating! It's been so easy to grab a ready meal or fast food on the way home from the library, and we spent the weekend indulging in great food.
However, in saying that last week I was 12st 4lbs.
This week I am still 12st 4lbs!
I can't believe I have stayed the same weight after all the junk I've eaten this week! Hopefully next week I'll manage to lose a bit!

Weigh In Wednesday #2

Hey everyone. Just a very quick update on my weight loss progress this week.
So last week I was 12st 4lbs.
This week I am...12st 4lbs.
I suppose staying the same is better than gaining weight right?
I was fully expecting to not lose anything this week, as dieting has been affected by impending coursework deadlines! I've got a double hand in tomorrow, then it's mine and my other half's anniversary on Friday! I wonder what he's got up his sleeve this year?

Hey everyone,
Now that I no longer work weekends, this post is so much easier to get up on time! I totally forgot I hadn't updated you all on my change of job! I quit sainsburys in August after getting an extension to my contract in the office I was working in over summer. I've just found out this week that I'm getting a further extension to May 2015! That takes me right up to graduation! Woohoo!
Anyway, what else have I been up to this week?
- Work. I now work Mon, Wed & Fri 9-5. The hours suit much better and give me more time to relax, especially at weekends!
-Uni. Next week is deadline week for 2 of my modules so I've been trying to work on my coursework. I'm awful at time management though. I do nothing until the deadline is upon me and then I'm stressed and doing all nighters to get finished on time!

Banana bread baking! I made another batch of this yesterday. It's such a yummy treat. You can find my recipe for it HERE

Last night I had a craving for an old school ice cream van style ice cream! So obviously the other half got sent to the shops to buy me the ingredients! This was totally worth the diet sacrilege! 

Speaking of diets, the ice cream seems to have done something useful! I'd hit a wall with the diet this week and wasn't losing anything! Then this morning, I'd dropped almost 2 pounds! Woohoo! We'll see if I manage to keep it off until WeighIn Wednesday, since it's Sunday dinner at Mum's tonight (and there is more ice cream on the menu!) 

Have a fabulous week everyone!

Weigh-in Wednesday!

Hello all! So I've booked a cheeky holiday to Mexico as a treat for my graduation next year, and I need to get a bikini body! I've been dieting for a few weeks now and I've lost 5lbs. I plan on documenting my weight loss journey here with my new feature post, Weigh-In Wednesday!
My diet consists of eating from healthy cookbooks, calorie counting and more exercise than normal! My goal is to lose 2 stone, putting me at a much healthier weight of 11 stone.
So drum roll please......
Last Wednesday I was 12st 7lbs.
This Wednesday I am 12st 4lbs
That is a loss of 3lbs!
Woohoo!!
Hopefully I can continue this into the week ahead!
