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!

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...
