Weight Loss journey Update and Charlotte Crosby 3 Minute Belly Blitz DVD Review

I am so ashamed that I did not manage to get past 3 weight loss posts, what a total failure! I am not any closer to my goal and infact I am probably further away from it due to christmas and the new year. However we have a holiday booked at the end of May and there is no other option but to lose weight otherwise I am not sure I can even go!!

charlotte crosby workout dvdI did join a local gym for a 7 day trial and did attend and did some classes including spinning and boxercise. I did enjoy the spinning and felt like it really worked, the boxercise I couldn't handle the sweaty smelly gloves! But towards the end of the week I found that because I could only go in the evening after 6 or 7 as the gym does not have creche facilities I was simply too worn out from the day and did not have the motivation. 7pm is my switch off time its as though my brain says 'right ok thats enough no more power left!' And I realised that going to a gym that I can only use from 7pm in the evening was not going to work for me! So I decided to purchase a new workout DVD, I had used these before and seen good results but instead of going for the old faithful, Wags Workout! I wanted to try a new one, after seeing and hearing good things about it I decided on Charlotte Crosbys 3 Minute Belly Blitz. I have never watched Geordie Shore and Im not over familiar with who Charlotte is but I figured that may be a good thing, all I know is her results seem amazing! The DVD arrived today. I put in on straight away and gave it a go, The workouts are split into 12 sections each of 3 minutes and you can choose which order you want to do them. I thought I would be able to do more then what I actually could manage! I only managed to complete the Warm up plus 4 Workouts. I imagine that every day you do the DVD you will be able to gradually build up to the full workout.

The exercises are HIIT High Intensity Interval Training, which I think I have mentioned on a previous post. HIIT is very good for fat burning which is what I more than need and there is also resistance training and cardio and toning sections. I found the exercises quite similar to the boxercise class I took, but just without the smelly gloves, result!

I have taken some measurements (inches) to monitor my weekly progress. No weight or hip measurement (I only had a tiny tape measure!) at the moment, I will add this on at the weekend

Waist: 32
Thigh: 22
Arm: 12
Hips:


I promise to actually see this through this time and provide weekly updates, the count down really is on to bikini time!

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
