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 ...

2017 Goals!

I am the worst person ever for sticking to any goals that I set myself. I either just give up days after setting them or I totally forget that I set them at all. But this year I want to be different, I want to write my Goals for 2017 down and try really hard to tick them off and actually stick to them throughout the whole year. I sat down a few days back and really thought about the things in 2016 that made me not happy and change this habit in 2017 and make my goals achievable.  Goal Number 1 - To stick to Slimming World the entire year. I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the majority of the year I was pretty good and stuck to it about 80% of the time - resulting in me losing 1stone3lbs in total. However, over the last 2 months I have totally fallen off the wagon and eating everything in sight - so that weight I lost is probably all back on now. So, I am making this happen this year and going to rejoin my class on Thursday and will be to target by t...
