ITS ALL ABOUT THAT MOTIVATION

 

Well I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year, When it is New Year I always use it as an excuse to reflect on the previous year/years. Today I saw a picture of me from about 1 1/2 years and I couldn't believe my eyes! I was astounded at the size I looked and how I could let myself personally get like that.

 

 I would love to have an excuse or a reason or even someone else to blame for my weight gain but it all truthfully boils down to me being lazy and over eating.

 

The photo that is displayed below is to show you what determination and a bit or willingness can do. The photo on the right clearly displays that I wasn't willing to do anything, I would rather of sat in my bed and ate all year round, until I had a reality check when I originally saw this picture.

 

The photo on the left was take 1 month ago, putting these pictures together side by side really motivates me and gets me in the mood to get back on track after the festive indulgent season. The difference between the photos in weight is 3 1/2 stone which might not be much to some people but it is a massive milestone for me. I cant wait to get back to the gym and working out again because I've forgotten what it feels like to feel the burn of progress!

 

 

I will be blogging my progress through out the year, how I work out and what I eat.

 

Thank you so much for reading!

2014 Rewind | LucyLouiseLeadbetter

2014 Rewind

 

For todays post I thought I would do what every blogger in the world is probably doing !!. I feel like its a great time to reflect on the year, what I've gained and what I've lost and learned.

 

Here is a picture to show you briefly what happened in my 2014.

 

Il go through the picture from left to right.

 

I started Younique | I got my confidence back with photography | I went blonde

I found my love for beauty again | one of my god children turned 1 | I started riding horses

I got a dog called Abel | I got a tone of amazing baking stuff for Christmas | I lost 3 stone!

 

 

2014 Has a few very low points for me, I was in a very dark place at the beginning of summer. When autumn came things started looking up, I started my therapy, started a new job and life was looking good! The job I had at that point I didn't really like so I'm glad that I left, I am much happier not working for that company. The day I left that company I started the job I have now the next day, I can honestly say I am so happy now!

 

All I can hope is that 2015 is more good than bad and that goes for you too !!

 

Thank you so much for reading !

LUCY GETS FITTER

Glitter Gets Fitter

The start of this month i said to myself, 'i want to be skinnier by next year', 'i want to be skinny' and i thought no, what i really want is to be fitter and be able to go for a run with my friends of a fitter physic. 

I have always been big, when there's food there id eat it no matter how much or little of it there is. Last year i noticed that i could do things that id like to because my weight and physical state was stopping me. Coming to terms with needing to loose weight and eating less has been a big struggle for me and now is my stopping point!!. 

One of my favorite youtubers Louise has started a daily routine of half an hour brisk walking with a motivational hashtag to get others involved. I feel this is going make ALOT of people want to do a brisk 30 min walk to doing an hours workout a day not just to get fitter but to also lose weight. 

Over christmas is my downfall, i would eat so much chocolate and junk food and use the excuse of 'its christmas' but this year was different. I didn't eat any chocolates or any cheese, the only thing that i ate that was a big portion was my christmas dinner. Not gonna lie i was very proud of myself!. I have also started to do a smoothie diet type thing. I would have a bowl of porridge in the morning and then half a can of soup with 2 crackers for dinner and a veggie and fruit smoothie for dinner. I feel amazing i feel like i have more energy, i feel like i can actually do a 1 hour workout routine and feel ok after it and not need a nap. 

heres a few snaps of my smoothie from today !

Ingredients

1 cup of kale

  1 whole avocado

1 cup of blueberries

1 cup of raspberry's

1 cup of spinach

half a pineapple

juice of a whole lime

juice of a whole lemon

a cup of water

 and a dash of salt

It does look a little bit look mud, but it tastes so refreshing and so nice!. i have this every day for my tea and i love it !!, you can find all the ingredients in any supermarket and it costs about 20 pounds per 3 days! 

well thats all from me for now!!

 thanks for reading !!!
