Walking Olly :)

 

Hey Guys!!

 

On the 16th Mum thought it would be a good idea to take Olly for a walk over the Newport Wetlands!! I of course said yes as it means I can get a bit of fitness in as it is a big place to walk. We took him on the dog route as there is a specific route to take him :) So me, Chloe, Lauren, Mum, Nan & Grandad embarked on a 2 mile walk :)

 

 

 

 

We saw so many lovely flowers and plants, as you can see above, and me and Chloe were so excited at the amount of caterpillars on 1 flower!! In the end picture the Lighthouse marked 2 miles and by this point we were boiling and Olly was so tired, so turned back and came home :)

 

I hope you enjoyed this little Lifestyle post and you can look forward to a few more posts coming up :)

 

See You Soon!! 

My Fitness Week 2

Hey Guys!!

 

We are now on to Week 2 of my Fitness series, even though this post is actually a day late, that's because I was at Mums' for a BBQ :) Talking about BBQs, this week has not been a very good week at all, food and exercise wise. It seems as though I started this series and all I have done is eat and slack on the exercise front.

 

I did do a little bit of a workout on the treadmill at Mums, but then she decided to move the living room around and it was also Chloes' Birthday Friday so I missed out on that day also, so I done 3 days on there last week. I'm still doing Program 2 as I still get a little breathless when doing it and I can feel its working me out :)

 

I am on Day 4 of my Runtastic app and I must admit it is a decent workout app. I didn't think I would feel the effects, as in feeling a bit sore and aching a bit so I know its working :) I got another 6 days of Level 1 so we shall see what measurements will be like next week :)

 

 

Onto my measurements :)

 

I actually realised I measured my waist wrong so it is actually 28ins so have to disregard last weeks measurement of 33ins. I actually gained half an inch on my stomach, which I expected because we have had 2 BBQs at the weekend and also went out for food on Sunday, but half an inch is not bad at all. My thighs have actually stayed the same so I'm happy with that :) What I am rather happy about is even though we done all that unhealthy eating over the weekend, I have managed to lose a pound :D

 

I will say I have done nothing different eating wise I have stuck to 3 meals a day, not been snacking much and have been drinking a lot more water, and I am feeling a lot better for it all to :)

 

How are you all doing with getting fit and healthy?

 

See You Soon!!





My Fitness Week 1

 

Hey Guys!!

 

I'm actually a little nervous to do this post as I find it very hard to motivate myself to get fit. I have been seeing a lot of fitness posts around and reading a lot of them!! So I am taking the plunge and doing my own Fitness series :)

 

In roughly 3 months I am off on holiday to Corfu and I can not wait to go!! But I am not in the best of shape and would like to tone up a bit ready for it :) It doesn't help that chocolates, cakes and anything sweet is so tempting, so I am trying my hardest to make healthier decisions :)

 

I am not going by my weight as I don't want to lose weight as I am a healthy weight for my height according to the Dr :) So I have measured my waist, stomach and thighs as I feel I will see more progress that way :) I have taken a picture of my measurements and then we can all see the progress I am hopefully going to make :) So these are the measurements at the moment.

 

Waist 33ins; Stomach 32ins; Thighs 20ins; Weight 8st 5lb

 

As I said above I am not worried about my weight but more my measurements.

 

Onto how I am going to get into shape!! I haven't pictured it but my Mum has a treadmill so whenever I am at my Mums', which tends to be 5 times a week, I am going to do half an hour on there. I have been going on there for a while and been doing the pre-programmed sessions on there. I started out on Programme 1 and am now on Programme 2 so will be doing that until I feel its not really doing anything.

 

I have also downloaded an App onto my phone called Runtastic Six Pack and it is aimed to get you a Six Pack in 6 weeks.

 

 



I am going to be starting this today and you start on Level 1, then each week go up a level. I have the free version but you can upgrade it for a price, I'm not sure how much as it doesn't say. I'm hoping I'm going to see some progress on my stomach area and you never know I might end up with a Six Pack ha ha

 

Eating wise I am pretty good, I stick to 3 meals a day, sometimes I do forget to have breakfast but I am going to make sure I have breakfast every morning from now on. I just need to make sure I eat more fruit as I don't eat a lot of fruit, instead of eating sugary sweets all the time :)

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and will tune in every week to see my progress :)

 

I will also post up healthy meals I am eating and possibly some recipes, if you would like to see that?

 

See You Soon!!
