I Ran!!

If you're following me on Instagram (link below) you'll see that I've been running to work for the last few weeks consistently. Two reasons really, one because it's been too darn hot to run the rest of the day, even the mornings have been hard enough, but also to save myself some money on bus fare! Those £1.50's add up!! As much as I've always run, in some shape or form, I'm not a strong runner, and when I've had a while off running it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things.  So this morning was cool, it rained last night so it was perfect running weather, I set off strong but slowed myself down so I didn't burn out too fast and it paid off! I only stopped at the main road I have to cross, to wait for the lights, but the rest of the time ran, slow, but I ran!! It always takes till this time for me to remember that I have run 3 10k's and run all the way, without even that much training for some of them. So I should be able t...

Back to it!

It's been over a year since I started to really try to lose weight. As you know I started following the slimming world plan as I diet, it's really easy. I believe it gives you a good base knowledge of how people should be eating. Teaches people that cooking for themselves is WAY better than processed crap! Of course I think they promote meat and dairy far too much, but they do cater to vegans quite well. I've been up and down with my weight but i'm still around 11lbs down from where I started! So I guess that's a positive! I'm not 3 weeks away from the last weeding of the year, and I SO want to get into the size 12 outfit I got earlier in the year! I'm not sure I can lose that much weight, but I need to get out of the mindset that "it's not going to happen, so why should i try"!! I've been with my bf for around 8 months now, and this is where it's become hard for me. We both LOVE junk food, it's hard to say no, and I'v...

18 months ago....Open Letter to My Besties

18 months ago I wrote to some of my closest girls and asked them to help me....Help isn't something I'm very good at asking for. And I think this is just as relevant now. I've been on and off the wagon for some time now, but I need to get serious again! Hey girls, This might come as a shock, or may sounds very intense, but you guys know how much I want to lose some weight and get fit and healthy, and you all know how much this hasn't happened for me. And I don't think this is going to happen while I’m still doing the same things I've always been doing. So, I'm going to start turning down dinners, drinks, some events to focus on me for a while.  Some things I've already paid for I’m going to do, as I don't want to stop living my life. But I do need to focus on the food I put into my body, and let’s face it, I’m not strong enough to go out and order a salad. I'm opening up, and I don't want sympathy, I don't want you ...
