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!

CHRISTMAS BUYS

So at the weekend i went to see my best friend who is attending university in Manchester. I had a much needed break and i loved every second of it.

When i got there (which was quite late i must add). We went for a meal at pizza express and then went and tried our luck at the shops in town (which obviously were not open). On the second we did the obvious thing which is Manchester, i don't normally buy myself much out of my own money but this time i treated myself.

To start the day we had a really nice brunch at a cafe next to the student halls called cheeky. I had a chicken salad with a bottle of water and a large latte (which tasted amazing) and lileth had a baguette and an ice tea and a large latte too!!

 These are from primark, they go amazing with a top ive recently bought which will look nice with a black pencil skirt and these dollys and at a bargin prics of £5 cant go wrong really (eeks with excitement)

This little last minute gem was from boots. I dont own any sleek products at all, so buying my first one made me very excited. ive heard so many places bringing out matte lipsticks and lipglosses. I am one for trying new things so i picked one up on my favorite lip colour (red) for a mere £4.99

The one thing i wanted to purchase im Manchester was the Clinique take the day off cleansing balm. My luck being my luck none of North West have got it so i had a look around and was looking for a good 15 minutes and this is the one i chose. The scent of it is just amazing and ive fallen in love with this cleanser already and i think every one should have it in there skin care routine !

This is just a Mr Grumpy mug for my dad for Christmas 

 This is a 25th addition of Matilda for my sister for Christmas ! shes going to love it !

 some adorable Christmas cards 

A christmas tree at the side of the Christmas markets ! 

overall this little weekend made me so happy ! i loved seeing all of Manchester all twinkly and bright and Christmasy 

thats all ive got to say for now

PRE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Pre Christmas Gifts

Recently I planned a trip to Manchester to see my best friend Lileth. She is attending university there and because of that i don't see her very often. Last yeah i vlogged the whole weekend and really enjoyed doing so, but me having my brain case i accidentally deleted all of the footage that i got, I go so annoyed with myself its untrue.

This year im so excited because my mum has given me my main Christmas present early. 

The present is a Canon PowerShot SX5000 IS

I may be in love with this camera. I've always been a lover of Canons so the fact i now own one really fills me with joy!. Now i have this camera, it has encouraged me to do more videos as i feel they wont be bad quality.

The quality the camera produces as it is such a small camera is amazing!. I took it with me when i sent to see five and the video and picture quality is just amazeballs!.

here are some examples !!

this is my hoover from where i was sitting

and this is the quality when i zoomed in half way, i think that is just incredible!

I was originally thinking of doing vlogmas but as my life isnt actually that interesting i scrapped that idea. 

well thats all from me and my brain case today 

thanks for reading!

WINTER WARMERS FAIL!

Winter Warmer Fail

So in my last blog post i put winter warmers as my next day post, but my brain case being my brain case forgot to write it and schedule it in. I have written it its just saved as a draft and not as published. 

Im determined to make blogging more of a priority as its a thing that you need to be chilled to do. The past few months have been a little up and down and ive been in need of a little distressing.

So im going to sit here and write the next weeks worth of posts and then set an alert on my phone and calender so i remember next week to write another weeks worth.
