Never before have I been so excited to start a health journey, than the Fit Girl’s Guide – 28 day Jumpstart. I say ‘health journey’ rather than ‘diet’ because that just doesn’t seem to do it justice!
I said ‘Hey! What’s going on?!’
You may have noticed that my posts have been rather infrequent over the past few weeks, and yet my Vlogs are coming weekly as promised. Basically, I am working pretty constantly on launching my new business (watch this space!) which is involving writing a whole lot for my website, and it’s making it hard to find time to write recreationally. I’m hoping that in the next few weeks, as my new venture becomes official, I can get back to blogging about a variety of different things that I’ve been storing as notes on my phone.
I did it!
I am not good with the ol’ willpower. The second I know I can’t have something, it’s the only thing in the world I want. I’d sell my right arm for it. I’m just that kinda person. So when I decided that I would spend the whole of January on an alcohol and McDonalds ban, even I wasn’t sure I could manage it.
Real Talk: Anxiety
Earlier this week, I read this great article by Kady Morrison which looked at ‘9 Things I wish people understood about anxiety’, which I liked so much, I decided to do my own version, based on my own experiences of Anxiety.
I’m practically Rapunzel!
I’ve spent the last hour desperately trying in vain (in all senses of the word) to take a picture to show you how good my hair looks right now. My camera must be faulty. But trust me when I say, it is the strongest, thickest and healthiest it has ever been. As someone who used to dye her hair more than she changed her bedding, my poor hair hasn’t been in a great condition since I was about 13. So what’s sparked this change?
Healthy living: One week update!
I’ve officially made it! One week of no alcohol and healthy eating and I’m still alive! It’s not been perfect, don’t get me wrong. Our first week shop was a beautiful (but pricey) sea of fresh greens. We bought kale and chia seeds and a whole farm’s worth of fruit. Predictably, yet disappointingly, it lasted just a few days of morning smoothies and snack cravings before it went off or, y’know, was all gone. Our second shop of the month, with a smaller budget and way less enthusiasm was not quite as perfect.
My biggest weakness
My biggest weakness is my inability to hold back my emotions at certain times. Particularly, for example, when I get incandescently angry or frustrated my tear duct traitors well up. When I was younger, this was a great technique to evoke sympathy from the person who caused these emotions, but now, at the grand old age of 23, with a …
Why I love my tattoos!
Unbeknownst to a lot of people, I actually have six tattoos right now, and each one tells a story…
The unreachable fitness goal…
As with every New Year (and subsequent Sunday night/Monday mornings), I have, once again decided to eat better, tone up and lose a little weight. Not a huge amount, just so I am little healthier, and can fit in my nicer jeans again!
The issue, with me and food, is that I really bloody like it.
2015: The Year of Creative Indulgence & Spiritual Healing
So over on my Youtube channel I alluded to the fact that for me, 2015 will be the ‘Year of Creative Indulgence’, and I would like to add, of ‘Spiritual Healing’, because I’m a big hippy who likes pretentious sounding titles! But what does that actually mean…?
