Weight Loss Journey Part Two and a Half

Unfortunately I haven't lost another half a stone this week. Which I was expecting because I've had a terrible (but delicious) few days food wise. But now that I have it out of my system I can begin this week with dedication. 

Last week I did an exercise class called Les Mills Body Pump. Well, I had taken it once before and it left me severely aching for days but for some unknown reason I thought it may be different this time. Let me tell you it was NOT different ! I ached terribly for days and getting up and down the stairs was a nightmare! I definitely think this class is not for beginners or if you are new to weight training. Whilst I'm sure it would work wonders I have decided to give it a miss from now on as it basically ruins the rest of the week for me with the aching and muscle stiffness. I also have a fear of bulking up rather than losing weight with things like that even though I've been told it in fact burns more calories I just can't help but feel I v like I will end up as a female turkish wrestler which I'm sure is great but just not the look I'm going for! I will stick to the original combination of cardio and strength classes which I feel suits me more. The class is tonight which will give me a good start to the week and motivation to be good with the diet  

What I'll try and do is jazz up this weeks meals to make them more appealing but still within the guidelines. 

As always any suggestions are welcome ! Also I've just decided to rename this post to Part 2.5 because I don't think it warrants being the full Part 3 and rather it's just a quick update.

Love Kim xxx

My Lip Filler Journey

Here it is as promised - my lip filler journey / experience. Lip fillers are something I’ve always been in 2 minds about. One week I’m thinking Yes! I’m doing it and researching the best practitioners etc and then by the following week I’m having doubts - what if it goes wrong? What if I hate it? What if it ruins my face forever? And so on. So when a good friend of mine embarked on a training course to learn all things beauty including fillers and aesthetics I knew this would fall into my comfort and I would get to finally try it out whilst also supporting my friend. I’m notorious for researching things excessively so I pretty much had in my mind what I wanted to get from the fillers - I wanted as natural as possible, keeping the same shape as my natural lips but just a bit fuller. I specifically didn’t want the ‘duck face’ look and I wanted upper and lower lips to be balanced! My main decision to be made was whether To have 0.5ml or 1ml. On the advice of my friend and from my ex...

Post Natal Depression - a Journey

This will perhaps be the most difficult post to write as it means revisiting old feelings and experiences, however I feel like it is the right time for me to express this and also if someone happens to stumble upon this post and it helps them in anyway no matter how small then that can only be a good thing. I had known for a long time after having my daughter that I did not feel like myself / did not feel 'right' however I would always put this down to other factors mainly resulting in me blaming myself and in turn I would feel worse. Its actually really difficult to know where to begin with this post, and as I am typing I am already trying to think of ways to make it as brief as possible, but this would be missing the point! To summarize, I only actually got diagnosed with Post Natal Depression (sometimes Ante Natal Depression) after my daughter was 2 and a half years old, that is a long time I was suffering and it was fair to say I was at breaking point when I walked into t...

Back to Work - A Working Mum

Shortly after Karmen turned 2 years old I started a part time weekend job, which has now developed into 3 full days during the week. At the beginning I had conflicting feelings about going back to work, which I will go into in a moment, however now I really enjoy it, and it offers a great balance and value to my life. To begin with I had not considered working a job, part time or otherwise whilst Karmen was so young. This was partly due to my beliefs and partly due to the way I was feeling (post natal depression) .  It was a friend who first suggested to me to go for a job, it was something she was currently doing and having been in a similar situation to my own with similar emotions she pushed me into applying and going for it, for this I am truly so grateful. I remember the day of my interview I was incredibly nervous, which would of been totally out of character for the 'old me' to the point where I actually cried as I was getting ready as I had zero confidence in my abi...
