Why I want to lose weight:
I want to feel healthy, be able to feel like hey if I have to run for the bus I can do it no problem! I also want to look in the mirror and not straight away be drawn to looking at my stomach and thinking gosh how BIG! I want to just feel happy with the person I see in the mirror again. And know that I am not doing myself harm by being over weight.
My Fitness Plan:
The long lost behind the back of the TV Wii Fit has been brought to the for front again, I have Wii Fit and the Wii Fit Plus, so will try to take it in turns between the two too keep things more interesting. I’m also thinking about getting a kinect for the Xbox and having a go with that, some of the dance games look like they might be fun as well as getting me moving about more.
I am going to take a more healthy approach to meals, trying to cook more from scratch with a lot more vegetables added in with the meals, I am cutting out a lot of my bad habit food, though I really can’t completely cut out chocolate, at least not yet I know if I tried I would end up having a huge binge one day, so I am cutting down on it, allowing myself 1/2 a normal sized bar where I would have had a whole one, or just a small one, though at the moment the flat is full of Christmas chocolate, so I will be making sure at least my share lasts quite a while. I will weigh myself later today, I haven’t as yet started the exercise part of this, mainly as it’s been quite a busy day, but I have from today started the eat more healthy side.I am now heading off to make my first chicken salad wish me luck!Remeber to pop on over to BECKICKLESIE and Monkeying Around to find out more information about Fitness Friday and to join in if you want :)

Time to Lose Weight.

After contracting Swine Flu last year and being left with Post Viral Fatigue I have spent more than 1 to many days in bed or curled up on the sofa eating junk food, I will openly admit for comfort and I have piled on a few to many pounds (the too tight clothes just prove the point). My other half calls me beautiful everyday and I know he doesn’t mind me in fact he loves  me ’just the way I am’ but at the end of the day I do! I don’t want to be skinny just healthy, as I know I am over weight right now. And that can’t be helping the PVF.
So I have decided to lose weight, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but where does thinking get me other than sitting on the sofa still eating junk food. After reading  BECKICKLESIE’s post Send in the Spanx! and  Monkeying Around: Healthy Monkey I decided to join in with Fitness Friday
At the moment I have no idea how much I weigh, so I’m going to go on dress sizes, I am now a 16 I would like to be a 12/14. At the moment the flat is full of Christmas Chocolate and I am loathed to throw it all, so I will be keeping it but using it as a ‘treat’. The long unused WII Fit is coming out from behind the TV (must get batteries for it tomorrow) and once the Christmas Tree has been taken down the exercise bike will be reinstated in its spot in the lounge to help me up the amount of exercise I am doing. And a complete over haul in the kitchen junk food area is most definitely called for. More fruit and veg for me!Along with the weight and challenges I set  for the week, I will also blog about how it effects my PVF and my mood in all ways. So as well as helping me lose weight I’m hoping this may well effect my mental health as well, making me a happier person.Fancy taking part in Fitness Friday?

Sales Shopping Part.. 2

So I woke up with a bit of post-Christmas cabin fever today, I just NEEDED to get out, as the city a live in is beautiful but small, it meant having to go just a little further, having only pasted my driving test and got my own car for a couple of months I haven’t really tried going to a lot of places yet, so me and the other half had a look around local places and decided to try out Derby. Journey there was easy and very pleasant, a bit of traffic towards the centre of Derby but then I wouldn’t expect anything but that on a day not long after Christmas with sales shopping in full swing. I was amazed at the proficiency of the staff in the Westgate Centre they had people in the car parks directing you to the floors with spaces, so there was no scrabble of that one parking space!

My first port of call was of course Lush, I was pleasantly surprised to find they still had some sale items left and just had to treat myself to the following some of which are new to me and I shall be sure to tell you how I like them:

From the Sale
The Bearded Lady Bubble Bar x2
Eau Roma Water
Glogg Shower Gel
Bucges De Noel Yule Log
Turkish Delight
Lip Dip Lip Scrub
Maple Taffy Lip Balm

Can you see a certain ‘nosey’ intruder that likes to be center of attention.

And just because
Ceridwyns Cauldren Bath Bomb
Twilight Balistic
Dorothy Bubble Bar
Lush Ceridwyns Cauldren Bath Bomb Twilight Balistic Dorothy Bubble Bar
Next we popped to Boots loads of sale items still available in there, I didn’t buy anything though I was very good as I did have a huge parcel arrive from them this morning that I had ordered online when the sale started so I didn’t miss out which included:
Sales Shopping Haul
Last but not least I headed to Evans with my voucher from one of my Aunts and Uncles after spending a long time looking around I finally choose this Tshirt:
Evans - Tshirt

I have a total love for everything animal related so the owls on this just jumped out and hooted at me buy me buy me!

The rest of our time was spent running between game shops 3 of them to be exact! In the end the other half found himself a bargain copy of Starwars The Force Unleashed II Collectors Edition and is now happily playing away on it on the Xbox Ahh peace at last for me!
Starwars The Force Unleashed II Collectors Edition

I still have a couple of incoming parcels to arrive from New Look and ASOS so Sales Shopping arrivals not completely over. And more goodies to look forward to.
