A Little Update

It's been a long time since I last wrote a proper blog post, I can't completely put my finger on it, I guess I have just lost my blogging mojo. On many occasions I've had the best intentions to write a post but then lost it. It's not because I've been struggling to come up with ideas, I have many ideas for posts and posts that need to be done. I just can't muster up the motivation to start writing! I don't want my blog to just stop either, I've put a lot of time, effort and memories into it. I'd like to be more organised with my blog (and the rest of my life!) but it's something I struggle with massively.
 
Any-hoo, I thought I'd update about where I'd been before getting into a little weight loss update. In my last weight loss update I explained that I'd ordered a seven week bundle on The New You Plan.  I stuck to it until I attended Brit Mums Live where I had a couple of days off, mainly because I didn't want to miss the social side of going for dinner etc. I couldn't have sat there and ate nothing!
I was weighing myself around every two weeks and the weight was coming off. The last time I weighed myself I had lost one stone four pounds in total.
 
I found when I was working it was really easy to stick to. Sometimes weekends would be harder and I would have a day or two off which is where it started to go wrong. When I went away with my mum a few weeks ago I used that as an excuse not to be on plan too. After that I pretty much came off the plan. I've had days of being on it and then off it but that is not going to work.
I want to get back on track, I certainly don't want to put all the weight I've lost back on.
 I'm just not sure what the right path is for me at the moment. If you have any advice or tips I would love to hear them!

The Diet Diaries #3 Weigh In & Confessions

You may or may not have already read that I am on a weight loss mission! I was sent a seven day supply of meal replacement products from The NewYou Plan (review coming soon!) which ended on Friday.
 Last Saturday I made the BIG mistake of not weighing myself to see what my exact starting weight was. I didn't check how much I weighed until Monday and on Friday I weighed myself again. I was   disappointed at my loss of 4lbs, I know a loss is a loss right? But after eating powdered products and meal replacement bars for  seven days I was hoping I'd shifted more pounds! I'm assuming that it could have been a higher loss as I didn't weigh myself on the day I started, however I won't know for sure.
When I started, I said to myself I would see how I found it and would continue on The New You Plan depending on how I found it. After weighing myself I was determined to stick at it and priced up their bundles on the website. I knew they offered next day delivery so on Friday I selected my products with a 7 week bundle and placed my order.
 Unfortunately next day delivery doesn't apply to Saturdays, so what have I been doing over the past two days? Here's the confessions...
On Saturday I had a shake that  was left over from a previous plan for breakfast. I met a friend for a walk and we had lunch. I opted for tuna salad, certainly not the worst thing I could've selected from the menu! In the evening I had a couple of mini naan breads.
Sunday morning I ate some mango for breakfast and actually went out for lunch. I ate grilled salmon, jacket potato and veg. I figured I will be on the plan for the next 7 weeks (at least) so didn't want to starve myself whilst I waited for my New You delivery to arrive! I was naughty last night and finished off a handful of peanut M&Ms from a pack I'd bought before the weight loss mission, 'tut tut'!
I'm really determined to lose weight and I'm looking forward to getting back on The New You Plan when it arrives tomorrow!

The Diet Diaries #1 A Little Intro

My weight has been the bane of my life since I can remember, right now I'm the heaviest I've ever been and it's time for me to do something about it. In the past I've had failed and successful attempts when losing weight. This time I really want it to be a success, that's why I'm starting a series on my blog and YouTube channel. I think they will help me stay on track and hopefully, at some point be  helpful to others embarking on a weight loss journey. If you have any tips for staying motivated or you are blogging/vlogging your own weight loss, I would love to hear from you!
Today I started The New You Plan, a meal replacement programme, look out for a review soon! I filmed my first Diet Diaries video which explains my aims, including exercise. I would love you to pop over and subscribe to my channel if you're not already :) Starting and maintaining a diet/healthier lifestyle is never easy as there are old habits that need to be broken.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate comments and read all of them!
