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.

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

Slimming World and Vegan Cheese Review

The Slimming World Plan is a diet (lifestyle) plan that I have done before, and I did have some success, I lost half a stone, but this was during a not so good phase in my life so I didn't stick to it as long term as I should! Since then I have been on and off with it or saying that I am doing it but not being 100% committed. Or flitting between other silly fad diets! But since January this year I have been fully committed to the Slimming World Plan, of course I have had a fair few days where I have been off plan but this is ok, and one of the main principles of Slimming World is not build up an issue with food where you are punishing yourself for enjoying a treat or feeling negative about going off plan and then spiraling into more days of unhealthy eating! Since January I have lost 3kg which I am really pleased about but I do still have about another 6kg to lose. I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years now and at the beginning of last year I tried going Vegan, the part of

Post Natal Depression - A Journey - Part 2

I have again left a big gap between part 1 of this and part 2 but hey ho, all in good time ! Picking up from where part 1 left off ( part1 ) I want to explore more of the things that helped me in a major way and hopefully this could help someone feeling similar or give some ideas to help or even just spark a bit of hope in someone who is feeling hopeless (I know this feeling oh to well, you’re not alone) Counselling - There are many different types of counselling and it really is an individual thing/choice as to which is most suitable for you. I had one to one counselling based on CBT which I believe the basis is to help you be able retrain your brain to manage and control the unwelcome thoughts. I was so nervous at first and was still having all the negative and unworthy thoughts about attending but i ending up really looking forward to my sessions. One of the most challenging but most rewarding parts is the ‘homework’, for example my therapist would set tasks that I would have to
