New Neice n stuff :)

Just thought I'd do a quick blog post just to say diets still going well :) I reached my lowest weight yet since dieting (13.5) however still a long way off yet! On my 2 days off I've been on a bit of a binge so probably but some back on haha but I worked sooooo hard last week so thought I deserved it :) Gonna get back on the salads tomorrow lol

My Mum had a great 50th birthday in Norfolk with Jack which I'm so happy about :) All I've really wanted for ages is for her to meet someone who makes her happy and treats her right, and seems shes found that with Jack which is just great :) I bought her lots of Lancome makeup and perfume which I gave to her yesterday when we went for a meal.

I also have some aweeesommmeee neeewwwsss, Rikki is currently in the start of labour and within the next 2 days we'll have a new little Niece :D Can't wait to meet herrrr!


Well, thats pretty much all I have to say haha Its all looking good good good for Dean going for Section Leader, we won't know for a little while yet if hes gonna get it but hes worked so hard and he defo deserves it :) Ermmmm, also I can't stop thinking about CUBBAAA. I'm so excited lol The thought of sitting on a beach just lazing in the warm sun, strawberry daiquiri in hand just seems so good right now :) Apparently they have beach bbqs and beach night parties every so often and a beach bar with all you can eat burgers, pizzas, hotdogs, and drinks etc.

Gym & my diet

Been working sooo hard in the gym lately, and I finally hit my new lowest weight today :) (I say lowest, but I mean lowest since I first started this whole gym diet routine haha). I am now 13st 9.6lbs, and yes I know that is heavy but I'm 5ft 9 and considering I weighed alot more than this 2 weeks ago I'm happy. I'm on a journey and this just shows that what I'm doing is working.

We've been walking home alot more lately after work and the gym, which is about 3 and a half miles so it all adds up. I get paid tonight so I'll be ditching the bready meals and switching back to salads in work which should also give the extra boost :)

Today I bought a dress and a little skirt in the George sale for when we go to Cuba. The skirt is a size 14, and on the way home I even said to Dean it'd be a miracle if i fit into it before the holiday, but it was cheap so I can atleast try... welll, I've just tried it on and it fits :D:D:D Ok, i wont lie its a tiny bit too small, but i'd definitely get away with it with a bikini on so im happy happy right now. And the size large dress? TOO BIG lmao. This is coming from the girl who could only wear size xl, and size 20 pants last year. I've always been small on top, I'm weirly proportioned (like 14 on top, 20 on bottom - or now it'd be 12 on top, 16 on bottom) but its slowly coming off my hips and ass so this time next year hopefully I'll be saying this again but on a whole other level :)

My complete aim is to be about 11 or 12 stone, depending on how I look. I'm not really trying to go to a specific weight as such because I'm building muscle at the same time as shedding fat so I won't really notice it on the scales.

When I met Dean I was only 14, but i was the same height i am now and I weighed 9st 5lbs. I will never get to that weight again because I was only a kid then, but if i can look as skinny as i did then i'll be a happy girl

Late but oh well haha

I know its late but heres some of my Birthday presents that I got this year :)

Oh yeah, probably best mentioning that I didn't just get an empty tub of jelly belly beans haha I also didn't eat them all either, I sorted them all out and only ate the ones I like :P I have a giant bag of horrible flavours which will probablyend up in the bin lol

Birthday and Holidayyyyyy :)

Wow, not wrote a blog post in sooooo long. I'm gonna try and get an app on my phone so I can blog on the go :D

Well, I guess i best give some updates. My birthday was awesommmme :) Me and Carl had a joint night out because his birthday is the end of June, lots of people came out altho unfortunately not many of my friends came due to being skint etc. Ahh well, had an awesome night anyways :)

Also, got some epiccccc news :D:D:D

Me and Dean will be travelling to Varadero, Cuba on Oct 24th and we're staying for 15 nights!! Its gonna be epic :) I'm so excited. We're staying at the Blau Varadero, which is all inclusive and we're planning to go on an overnight trip to Havana to see the Capital :)

I'm really skint at the mo and am really worried about it but Dean keeps reassuring me that everything will be ok :) I'm sure I won't care about anything when I'm sitting on a beach sipping a Strawberry Daiquiri :D

Also just a quick hair update, my hair is in MUCH better condition :) After going to the hair dressers to get it trimmed, I used Moroccan hair oil which was amazing!! I recommend anyone with a bit of spare cash to get it cause it really is just fabulous :) I've tried VO5 Miracle hair oil and VO5 hot oil treatments, and none of them compare (Although they are also good)

For my birthday I bought some hair extensions, and now i can't live without them haha :) Heres a pic of my hair now:

You'll havta excuse my bunged up face and normy attire, I was having a slouch day cause I was so unwell :( Just so ya know, I'm fine now weeee :D

Diets going ok too, I've been going the gym/swim pretty much every day for the past month (although i didn't go last week due to an ear infection). I've not lost much "weight" as such, but i can see my body getting different so I guess i must be shifting the fat and building muscle in its place :)

Over the festival weekend

Safe to say, surviving the Download festival weekend was pretty hard, but we made up for it in other ways :) We had a party in our flat for Leah which was great, loads of people turned up and we had a good laugh hehe Best memory of the night - Leah projectile puking into the sink lmao Now when I think back its pretty gross, but at the time I was choking on my drink with laughter haha :')

Then the next day we went to see Four Year Strong which was good. I'm not really into that type of music but it was for Leahs birthday and we had a good time, and actually the band were pretty good :)

So far

Well, we've started the diet and actually its going quite well :) We had a few problems with the gym on the first day where we couldn't sign up for the membership but on Tuesday we went back and got it all sorted, so now me and dean are official members of Active Sefton gyms :D woooo haha It entitles us to go to any of their leisure centres and use the gyms, swimming pools, sauna, steam rooms, and all the classes too for £21 a month, plus we both got 1 month free too - bonus!

Oh oh oh! and this is Deans new hair :D YES he finally had it cut off! :O

Bit of a bad photo but doesn't he look sexeeehhh ;) He looks a bit like the old singer from Tesseract! I like it

I got mine done too but it looks almost exactly the same other than my roots, however the condition of it is much much better. I'm gonna keep toning it and then using Moroccan oil on my hair and not bleaching it and hopefully it'll start looking exactly how I want it. I'm gonna get some hair extensions too so my hair looks nice and long - its exciting! :)

There is also something bad that I need to write about too :( ... Deans got these weird patches all over his chest, back and legs and we didn't know what it was (at first we thought it might be psoriasis), but when we went the docs yesterday he said its a fungal infection! Which means hes probably got it off Chewy our Hamster! :( not good.

Oh well, time for work soon boooo Earn some pennies though which is all good :) I got some holiday brochures from the Strand yesterday cause we're planning on going somewhere nice at the end of the year to replace Download Festival. Tbh, its realllllllly getting me down at the mo cause everyones talking about it :( I WISH I COULD GOOOOO :'(

Body Detox and hair

So next week, Me and Dean are gonna start a body detox for 4 weeks and basically try and go the gym everyday, eat properly and not snack on crap all the time. Ou diets will be a little bit different from one another due to me liking everything and Dean only liking processed food.

Although we're only planning on doing this for 4 weeks, I don't want to go all supercharged and eat stuff I hate, because I know when the 4 weeks are up I'll be so fed up of eating cardboard by mind will instantly want cakes and pizza. I want to try and stick to foods which although aren't exactly "diet foods" as such, its something I'll enjoy and will be able to live on for the rest of my life. When I'm rummaging through the cupboards at stupid o'clock I want my mind to instantly think of soup, cereal, pasta etc instead of Pot Noodles, toast and chocolate.

Obviously, in the next 4 weeks there will be occasions when I can't stick to the routine, such as Leahs Birthday Party, which is fine aslong as I do well up until then and afterwards one night of treats won't hurt :)

I'm gonna try and keep a log to see how well I do, which I'll also try and put on the internet to motivate me to stick to it.

Also, next week we're both going to get our hair cut yaaaay :) My hair is just a disaster, its so dry, I've tried everything and its just horrible. I think what makes it worse is that it isn't anywhere near the colour I want either. I'm still not sure whether to spend a fortune in a shop to get my roots done and for them to get it the colour I want ASWELL as cut it, I know it'll cost an absolute fortune though : / We'll see but I'm sure I'll get there eventually even if my hair is a lesbian cut by then haha I'll get extensions :P

Deans getting all his hair cut off :O yup, now that he has quit Korn Again... (for a bazillion reasons, but pretty much cause hes fed up of a multitude of things, and also because he wants to get a promotion in Asda) ...he has no reason to keep it basically. If he goes to the interview in Asda with short hair all smart then he'll look like hes really made an effort so thats good.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... when we go on holiday at the end of the year, hopefully I'll 1) have lost 3 stone and 2) have larrrvly hair again :)
