February goals

January passed by quick & even though I was meant to go back on plan with Slimming World, I admit that I failed. But that's in the past & now I'm ready to give February my whole attention. Starting with goals that I am going to acknowledge everyday to make sure that I'm on the right track

1. Go the the gym 4/5 week

Last year I was a saint when it came to going to the gym, I'd be in the gym almost everyday because I had nothing better to do, but the last 6 months of 2016 I let myself down and lost my motivation as well as I couldn't afford the gym. But now I'm ready to kill this month & lose a few pounds

2. 7 posts on blog

My blog is always running up & down, so I would like to commit to doing more posts & being active on social media to grow my audience.

3. Plan meals wisely

When it comes to food prep, I'm a genius. But sometimes I let myself get away with certain treats such as biscuits, which is a big no.no!

4. Begin assignments early

As I study Magazine Journalism, I'm quite kucky as I have no exams however I do have essays that I need to complete and sometimes I leave it wait to late that I'm not sure what I can add for improvement. If I start early I can improve and adapt a better understanding of my wrirting as well as being creative. 

5. Drink more water
I used to be amazing with drinking water, but have become so lazy and just not bothered. But this month I'm ready to get back on it & be better

Body Goals

It's approaching towards the end of June, which means it's Summertime (well sort of) & I am pushing for my 2 stone award through July. What's really getting me in the mood for gym lately is my Body inspirations. Got to love Dinah Jane, Jordyn Woods & Jordin Sparks. I have many more that I crush on but these girlies are my latest beauty obsessions. Of course I have my own body, but these beauties make me want to push harder for the figure I admire. They all resemble curvy in some sort of way and have a slim waistline.

How does Slimming World work?

As some of you may know, I am on a weight loss journey. I've been a member with Slimming World since October 2015. I love their meals and how you can be flexible with what you eat. As a celebration of hitting  my 1 stone, I thought I would let you into a little insight about how my food lifestyle works.

Step 1) You are able to fill your plate as much as you want as look as you remember to pack part of it with Speed foods.

Step 2) Speed foods are foods that boost your metabolism playing a greater contribution to your weight loss. These include fruit such as an apple and vegetable such as broccoli.

Step 3) Slimming World encounters a treat stash known as Syns. Which means you are allowed to have your sweet treats every now and then, especially when your craving a doughnut): As long as you keep to your limited amount of 15 syns a day, even if you go over it shouldn't be a problem as long as you're ready to get back on plan.

Step 4) If you're not a fan of attending weight loss groups or simply just don't have the time. You can monitor your own progress at home. Personally I prefer to be part of a group because you get to share amazing advice and always look forward to the next weigh in because you want to do particularly well.

step 5) It only costs £5 per week. I often pay £50 for 12 weeks, it just saves me from having to
 spend £5 every week, especially with being a student.

Couch to 5k app

I have been in London for over a month now and haven't done any exercise. I wanted to get back into a fitness regime before I head back to Southampton to start Uni. This app is amazing and works in time slots. Running makes me feel good afterwards because I know I've treated my body to a good workout. I have to admit I am not a runner but slowly would like to become one, because I know it will be useful, especially when I visit places, I know for sure I will have no access to the gym. This app is amazing and is a great Jump start to 2016, especially if part of your #Newyearsresolution was to get fit like me. I've just started week one but will definitely keep you updated with my progress.
