Gym Update



About a month or so ago I wrote a post saying i was struggling to motivate myself to go to the gym.

So i though i would write an update to keep myself motivated to continue to go.

Since that post i change my workout up a little and have incorporated more weights into my routine, as i felt that the constant cardio was getting a little boring - since adding these in i do feel a lot better about going knowing that i have more than i can do.

I still haven't been going to the classes as although i love going to the gym on my own and prefer it to going with a friend - i don't feel confident enough to go to a class on my own. I do feel that if i find one that i like then i will go more and in return feel more confident about going on my own as i will not feel silly not knowing what i am doing.

Also the weather in Scotland has been a lot better in recent weeks so i've been able to get outside and walk the dogs which is a nice change to being in a gym staring a the four walls.

 I do feel a lot better in myself and have been able to motivate myself to go at least twice a week. However, i am hoping by keeping this up that i will go even more - even if it is only for 45 minutes or so.

I am hoping by writing these posts monthly i can keep myself on track to feeling even more confident in myself



Thanks For Reading,

Slimming World - Week 2

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

Slimming World - Fresh Start

Following on from my 2017 Goals post I decided to write about my fresh start at Slimming World. As I said I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the first few months I really enjoyed having a new project to focus my time and energy on. However, I do think I went about it the wrong way - in the beginning I restricted what I ate so much that I barely ate anything that was not completely free on the plan and barely used any syns - and even though back then I had great weight losses and was very happy with how I looked, there came a day where I cracked and ended up eating anything and everything that was bad for me. Because I restricted myself to so much from eating the things that I enjoyed i just broke and ever since then I never really looked at the plan the same way - I was never very committed to it after that. I really believe that having the 6 weeks away from the plan and allowing myself to miss then plan and miss eating the healthy foods that I used to, I ...
