Counting Steps!

I have been obsessed recently with counting steps and try hard to reach 10,000 per day.

I thought since i had a job where i was running around and on my feet for eight hours a day that i would reach that everyday and it would be easy.

However, after counting my steps on an app on my phone i found out quickly that i barely even reach that goal, in fact i only do about 5500 steps per day.

Over the past few weeks i have been making a real effort to take the stairs more and even when I'm just at home i try to walk around more every 15 minutes i try and get my steps up. 

I purchased a Fitbit recently and i am so happy that i done it. The FitBit counts not only the steps you take but also the calories you burn not only when you are awake but when you sleep as well - side note - i never realised how many calories you burn while you sleep, at least a couple of hundred per night. 

By wearing this 24/7 it has encouraged me to be more active and every day push myself to try and reach the 10,000 average per day. 

I haven't reached the 10,000 mark yet but i am hoping that i can one day soon!

This is a link to the FitBit i have if anyone would like to have more information on it and have a look at the different ranges that they do - FITBIT!

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 ...
