DIY burns calories, too you know!

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

Long time no update, it’s been what – two weeks? Well the good news is that I am back on the dieting wagon after falling off it a few months ago. I’m eating healthily having cut out the naughty snacks like chocolate and sausage rolls and exercising daily. At the moment I am only doing [...]

Overindulged at Christmas

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

So the festive period has not been a good time for me in terms of weight loss – it’s the first time in over 3 years I have gained a little weight that has not instantly shifted again. 4lbs to be exact – doesn’t sound like a lot I know but 4lbs is about as [...]

Looking for accomodation in China

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

I may be going to China in the new year. My fiance works in a Chinese restaurant and one of his friends and co-workers is getting married in China in March. We were not planning on going as we can’t afford foreign holidays at the moment, we have not been outside the UK in years [...]

Everyone needs a “Treat Day”

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Did you know that at the moment at Pizza Hut at the moment Kids Eat Free if they are under 12 years old and accompanied by a full paying adult – in terms of cheap ways to treat the kids this half term they don't come much better than that. A post about Pizza on [...]

Still the same weight

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

I have to admit before moving down the country to be with my fiance I expected that I would easily lose weight, at least to begin with. My mum, although she did her best to cook healthy for me, used a lot of salt and butter and oil in her cooking even though she told [...]

Things are going well :)

Friday, September 17th, 2010

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but a lot has changed in that time. I moved house on August 23rd and have gone from living with my parents to living with my boyfriend – I don’t think I really realised just how much they did for me at home until it stopped because [...]

Re Counting Calories

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

I have decided it’s time to recount my calories – what I mean is I am going to make sure that I am eating what I think I am. As we know by now I eat mainly the same meals each week and over time it’s possible I rounded numbers up or down, forgot the [...]

Still pushing along

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but don’t panic – I have not given up and gained all the weight back (in a few weeks? I should hope not) and am still on track with my weight loss. Though I have been enjoying the fudge my parents brought me back from their trip [...]

Gimme more Vitamin C!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

I feel as though I am definitely missing something my diet at the moment – I bruise like a peach and my skin in general is really bad and blotchy. A quick search suggests I may be lacking in vitamin C which makes sense as I don’t eat nearly as much fruit as I should. [...]

Chocolate Gift Baskets

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

You know, people assume that because I am a healthy eating nerd these days it would be a bad idea to buy me chocolate gift baskets or other food related items as gifts – wrong! I would never buy something like that for myself so getting it as a gift once a blue moon really [...]
