Weight Loss Journey Part Two

Hello Everyone!

Well I've completed the first week of the diet and despite a few minor slip ups (finishing off Karmens pasta, oops!) I have lost half a stone again, the same one I lost and put back again before! So now the trick is staying as strict if not even stricter with the diet to not get stuck at this mark again. 

Exercise wise I did the Total Cardio and Total Strength class as well as 2 sessions of a workout at home. I use the Sworkit app which is my favourite of all the exercise apps it uses high intensity interval training where you push yourself really hard for 30 seconds of each exercise then rest for 30 seconds before more exercises. This is basically getting your heart rate up really high and then allowing it to go back down before bringing it back up again. Now I'm no fitness or exercise expert by any mean as all but from what I gather, research and previous experience I think this form of working out is definitely the way to go. The difficult part is getting the motivation to start the workout once you have done a few sessions it's easy to want to do it and even becomes enjoyable believe it or not! 

So I am a quarter of the way there again I am expecting that the next week of dieting may have a lower weight loss probably due to my metabolism. But let's see. I will be using the half a stone loss  as a motive to spur me on for the second week with dreams of my perfect body !

Once again I would love to know any tips or experiences or I would love to answer some questions about the diet if anyone is debating about starting it.

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...
