Weekly Weigh In 15

Hey everyone, I’m back. I know it has been a while since I have blogged but I just have had a lot going on and I was enjoying my summer. Having said that I feel like I’m ready to make a return to the blogging world. It feels like I’m starting all over again and I would like to thank all my follows who stuck by my and waited.

In order to get back into the swing of things, I’ll start over with a wee quick Weekly Weigh-In.

Weight- As many of you know, if you have followed my blog for a while I have been trying to lose weight. In order to get myself in gear I joined Slimming World. I am finding it hard and easy at the same time. Some days I just want to eat everything in sight but I generally am good. I think I might start posting some recipes on here, as I am cooking so much more these days. I will update my weight every Wednesday as that is my weigh in day.

Shopping – Since my last blog post, I have bought a lot of make up and not so many clothes. Recently I have been getting obsessed with jewellery and have gathered up quite a bit in the last while. I may dig out what I can remember buying and share them all with you, as there was a few bargains.

Work – For the first time in a very long time, I now only have 1 job. I recently got my contract changed to 31 hours a week, which I will find hard adjusting to. I am still in denial about the fact that I have graduated and should have a proper job and I’ll just still to my shop job for a little while longer.

Life- Life this past while has been full of ups and downs. My and my bf split up in April, and it was a bad time for me. We have recently started “dating” each other again, in the hope that we can make another go of it, which I am so happy with. In the break that we had, I rediscovered how important friends are and I am so lucky to have so many good friends I have, that I can rely on.

Hair – The last time I posted on here, I was a slight blonde. Now I am a fully fledged member of the blonde community. In my usual ways, I am bored of it already and want to get some more brown through it in order to be completely brown again for the winter. I am never satisfied with my hair. It feels so dry these days, so if anyone has any recommendations for dry, bleached hair please let me know.

This was such a rambly post, but I have 2 months to fill you in on. And if anyone forgets what I look like here’s a *drunken* pic and please ignore the bun ring as I did fix it.

Anyone miss me?!

Weekly Weigh In 14

It’s been a long time everyone and I am sorry. I have a lot of things going on in my personal life but now I intend to blog more often. So continuing where I left off;

Weight – I am happy to say I have lost over a stone since the beginning of Lent. Since Lent ended I have to admit I have done nothing but eat rubbish. I need to get back into a healthy eating and exercise routine. I would like to lose 11lb by 1^st July

Shopping – I haven’t bought that much lately, just a few bits and bobs. I had to get new work trousers as my old ones were far too big. I have started collecting some things for the giveaway I intend to have when I reach 100 followers J

Followers – I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who follows me on my blog and/or my Twitter. I have no idea where I would be without you all at the minute.

Hair – I tend to change my hair drastically if something drastic has happened in my life. So in typical me style I got my hair highlighted. There were at least 60 foils in my head and it took 5 hours but I love the results. I will share a photo with you just incase you have forgot my face.

Have you missed me?! Do you like my new hair?!

Weekly Weigh In 13

Sorry this is late…..my days have been so messed up his week

Weight – This week has been a complete carb overload for me. I have just been craving them flat out and off course I gave in. I gained 1 lb this week which I am not that annoyed about. I did absolutely no exercise and I need to get my motivation back. I have simply lost all my motivation and willpower to exercise. I am stuck in a rut :(

Shopping – Why oh why can I not stop this?! You have probably already seen my haul of what I bought last week. I just can’t help it…I love the feeling of shopping! I have cut down loads now but I still can’t completely stop and therefore I cannot save any money at all.

Work – I am really starting to dislike one of my jobs, and it is getting my down. I know I am lucky to have it but I just dread going into work these days. And also my friend asked what I was going to do if I don’t get back into uni for 3 or 4 years and I have no idea. I have to start thinking of another career that I would like and I cannot think of any. I really want to teach so fingers crossed.

TV- I have been loving Pretty Little Liars and I have watched all the episodes online. Roll on June so they start again. I need programme ideas that I can watch online as I don’t have Sky which is a bummer for me.

Blog – I sound like a broken record but thank you so much for reading my blog. I have 77 followers now which is amazing. I have starting collecting small bits and pieces for a giveaway I am going to do when I reach 100 followers. Which hopefully I will get before my birthday in June.

What have you been up to this week? Any TV programmes that you would recommend for me?

Weekly Weigh In 12

Hey everyone, so another super fast week as passed. I can’t believe it is nearly April. We are nearly finished ¼ of 2011. Kinda scary thinking about it like that. Last week was a good week for me.

1 – Weight - I lost 3.2pounds last week! I am on target for Onna's weight loss challenge. I am so happy with this. I honestly didn’t expect anything as I am enjoying a few more treats but then again I am exercising. I am starting to love the feeling after exercising when I'm in the shower so proud that I had a good workout. Anyone else like that? I am currently working on a few recipe posts for you all as I am getting into the healthy eating habit.

2- Cooking. I have been cooking so much this week. I made dinner all weekend and I baked soda bread on Sunday morning which is all gone already. I love chopping all the ingredients up, mixing it all in a pot and I especially love it when everyone loves my food. When I cook I know what’s in my food and therefore feel it is better for me.

3 – TLC- I am in need of some TLC, not from anyone else but myself. I need to start treating my hair more often and myself as well. I had a bath the other night for the first time in yonks (I’m not dirty I just like showers more), and I remembered why I like them so much. Just lying with a face pack on thinking of absolutely nothing. It is going to happen more often. I feel better with a tan but I never make time to put on fake tan. I have a feeling that April is going to be all about me J

4 – Make up – I have been finding gems in my collection that I forgot I had, but the other day when I was interview shopping I went to Superdrug. Things fell into my basket and money fell out of my purse. I will be doing a haul soon and I didn’t spend that much money for what I got

5 – Blog – I know that this topic makes a regular occurrence in my Weekly- Weighs but I can’t help it. I have 71 followers at the minute and I am thankful to each and everyone of you. I think I am going to have a giveaway at 100 subbies just to show you all how much I care. And I am going to try my hardest and blog more. Pinky Promise

So what have you been up to this week? PS I am loving the change in the brightness at night

Weekly Weigh In 11

I am going to start off by saying hello to all my new followers *waves*. I am currently on 66 which is amazing as I never thought I would even get 10 so big hug.

Weight- From the beginning of Lent (Wednesday 9^th March) I have lost 5 pounds! I am so happy with this J I am going to take a picture of my weight every Monday morning and keep you all updated with a picture in the sidebar. (This is so hard for me as even my boyfriend doesn’t know my weight but I need motivation). I am also taking part in Onna’s weight loss challenge so I need to stay motivated to complete it. I haven’t been doing much exercise but I will be going to the gym more often. I am eating a lot better and if anyone would be interested in some recipe posts feel free to let me know.

Money – At the start of Lent I had intended to save £1000. This is so unrealistic for me so I have scrapped that idea and I’m just going to save what I can but a minimum of £500. I am not buying anything that I don’t need so I have no idea where my money is going. And my car insurance is due for renewal at the end of this month. L

University – This is stressing me out. I really want to go back to University in September to become a primary school teacher. I just haven’t been lucky so far at getting a place but fingers crossed. However *what is meant to be will not pass you by*

Positivity – After the horrible tragedy’s that happened lately in the world *my thought and prayers go to them all* I have realised that I am actually quite lucky. I may not have everything I want (LV Neverfull MM), but I have everything I need to live a happy life. I have friends, family and dreams to get me through my tough times. I am not going to take anything or granted anymore. I feel in such a better mood lately because negative thoughts have been banished from my mind.

This was quite a long rambly post so congratulations if you have got to the end. What have you been up to this week? Do you have any requests?

PS thanks again to all my followers old and new

Weekly Weigh In 10

I didn’t mean to post this so late but I have just been super busy

Weight- Again this week I didn’t weigh myself! I kind of forgot this morning and I hate weighing myself at night but I promise I will next week for you all.

Food- I am off basically everything nice so in order to get my food intake I have turned to cooking. I have made some fab dinners this week and I’m hoping they will help me lose weight as they are all healthy. If you would like any recipes or ideas feel free to let me know

Gym- I had my gym induction on Saturday and went for the first time today. I could do with some inspiration though and a few ideas for a playlist as I think music helps me stay focused.

Lent- My lent is going good for me. I haven’t broken it but I am however craving some chocolate. I’m using Lent as a way to stay strict and diet.

Work- I have been busy with my 2 works and other things at the minute. I am off from one job however all week with St. Patricks Day so this will hopefully give me time for posts and catching up on all the blogs in my feed.

So it’s short and sweet this week but I hope I have kept you all up to date with me. I am going to try harder to weight myself next week. I am seriously considering Slimming World. Are any of you on it? Is it worth it?

If you have any gym playlist recommendations please let me know as I need inspiration and ideas. What do you listen to at the gym?

Weekly Weigh In 9

I would like to start off by saying a huge thank you to all my followers both old and new. I now have 58 followers which is amazing. I have decided to do a bit of a giveaway when I reach 100 as a way of saying thank you to you all.

Weight- I didn’t weigh myself today as I just know I have put on weight. I have eaten like a horse for the whole week. I know this is cheating but I am starting a new challenge which I will be posting about on Wednesday.

Shopping- I went crazy on eBay this past week. I have literally spent a fortune on things that I do not need. I am stocking up and again you will all see why on Wednesday.

Hair – I decided that I wanted to go back to my dark brown hair again. My hair was a gingery colour as it was a blonde went wrong home job. I like having brown hair again but I wonder when I will look to change it.

Stuck in a rut – I always tend to wear the same thing to work – dress and tights or a skirt and tights. I need to inject a bit of variety in my wardrobe and I have no idea where to start. I think I need to find a style that suits me and my personality. I am also stuck in a rut regarding hairstyles so if you have a tutorial or know any good hair sites please let me know.

Energy – I know this is random but lately I have had a total lack of energy. I feel sluggish and tired by 5 o clock. I know that I need to exercise more so I’m hoping that between doing that and eating healthier I will start to feel better.

Internet – Again I am going to say a big thank you to everyone who helped me reach my 55 followers. Some lovely girls on Twitter tweeted about my blog and made it happen. The girls I talk to on Twitter are all so lovely and I wish I could meet them all.

What have you been up to this? Have you any ideas to help me out?

Weekly Weigh In 7 &8

I missed my weekly weigh in last week as I was so busy and stressed so I’m going to combine week 7 and 8 together.

Weight- I have stayed the same weight this past 2 weeks and I am so happy with this. I went out for dinner last Saturday night, ate like a horse in Glasgow and went out for my Sunday lunch yesterday! Whoops! However I am looking forward to Lent so I can lose some more weight.

Shopping- I throw my hands in the hair and admit I am a Frugal February Fail! L When I am told I can’t shop I shop and when I have loads of money and can shop I don’t. I am going to try so much harder over Lent, but another post will follow.

University- Even though I said in my last post that I am going to graduate, I do intend to go back to University as I want to be a teacher. I had an interview last week and I have applied for another course today. Stressed is not the word….I just want things to work out.

Blogging and Twitter- I can’t get over how friendly everyone one is both on this and on Twitter. I have 29 followers and I am grateful for every one of them. It makes writing this easier as I know that I’m not writing to myself. And everyone on Twitter is super friendly and I’m glad that I started it.

Ideas- Even though I haven't got loads of posts up on this I would like some feedback from you as to what you what like to read. I have some ideas but I would like a bit more inspiration. So come on guys and girls…help me out. If you have any requests or ideas feel free to comment me, message me or Tweet me.

I leave you with a picture of tonight’s entertainment ….



What have you been up to this past two weeks?!

Weekly Weigh-in 6

Monday has rolled around again...

Weight- I have out on 2lb this week but I am totally not surprised. I seem to have lost my dedication to wanting to lose weight. Last week I went for a Chinese, which I am sure didn’t help. This week I vow to lose that 2lb. I will try and stay away from chocolate and sweets. I really do want to lose weight for a special event in July.

Graduation- I said in my New Years Resolution post that one of my promises was to pass my exam and therefore graduate. Guess what??? I did it!! I am going to graduate in July and I am so proud of myself. I hated my course from the beginning of 2^nd year but stayed at it as I had no idea what I wanted to do. I failed one of my final modules and had to retake part of the year and I eventually passed.

Night’s out- On Saturday night I went out with 2 of my best friends. We haven’t been out together in over a year but we just picked up were we left it. It was so nice to go out and have a good night with people that I love being in my life. I can’t wait to go out with them again. (However because of these girls there was no Simple Saturday post- sorry)

Mid term- I am on a 3 day holiday from one of my jobs. It is mid term this week and I am loving the lie ins already. I was off last week from my other job and I could definitely get used to not working. However, come Thursday I will be back at both so I may as well enjoy it while I'm off.

Valentines day- I can’t not mention this today. I hate Valentines Day and always have but the boy was in a bad mood the other after finding out that he didn’t get the job he applied for, so I bought him a card to cheer him up. I also bought him Jelly Tots, a Terry’s Chocolate Orange and some Refresher bars (can you see the romantic in me?!). Also today I got a rose…from my daddy. I get one every year from him and I love it.

To you

With Love

From Seánna

Weekly Weigh-in 5

Hey everyone and hi to all my followers *waves*. It's Monday again so its time for my weekly weigh in.

Weight- This week I have lost another 2lb. J I don’t quite know how because I have been eating rubbish but I’m going to say it was because I was sick during the week. I wasn’t really eating properly. I am going to aim for another 2lb next week and do some exercise. However today already I have ate nothing but rubbish.

Being sick- I started getting the sniffles on Monday night and by Wednesday it was a full blown cold. I didn’t go to work on Friday because I could barely get out of bed and I had an epic headache. Saturday was the same and I was left feeling tired and unproductive. I missed Simple Saturday as I was also too sick to do anything. However, I am feeling better now and I am planning to write some posts tomorrow and get caught up.

Reading- I have start reading again and I love it. I love not knowing what’s going to happen next and finding out new characters and storylines on each new page. I was considering getting a Kindle but I think I would miss turning the pages of a real book too much.

Frugal Feb- I am going to admit I am doing kinda badly. I have bought of a few blog sales but too me that’s saving in a way. I can’t help it. I have however stopped myself making a MAC order and an ASOS order. *pats back*

Work- This week I am holidays from one job and then on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week I am mid-term break! I cannot wait. I have no plans and intend on doing nothing.

What were you up to last week? Do you have any requests?

Weekly Weigh In 4

This past week was a good one...

1)Weight- As you all know by now, I am trying to lose weight. I was so good last week and it paid off. I didn't have anything bad from Monday - Friday, so I decided that I could treat myself at the weekend. I had 2 cupcakes on Saturday and on Sunday I had a Creme Egg *nomnom* and a bottle of coke. I tried really hard to eat good and to make my own dinners. I have lost weight ,although I don't think it is as much as the scales say (they might have weighed wrong last Monday) and it could also be water weight. The scales say I lost 6lb :D:D I am going to try and maintain this for next week and aim for another 2lb. I am going to try and exercise this coming week.

2) Books- In the past week alone I have bought 7 books *oops* I know it is a ridiculous

 amount but I do intend on reading them all. I used to read a book a week but I got out of that habit when I started my final year at Uni. I am going to plan to read at least 3 books a month! I need to find my inner book worm again.

3) Make-up - I recently reorganised my make-up and I am appalled at the amount of stuff I had forgot about. *However I still placed an Avon order at work today* I am trying to use a different product from each drawer everyday, in order to rediscover some hidden gems.

4) Baking- It was over a month since I dawned my apron but on Saturday I dug it out and did myself proud. I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for my friend who recently had a baby. I wish I had more time to bake as I really enjoy it and it helps me to relax. I am going to do a separate post on my cupcakes because I am so proud of them.

5) Planning my hols- Last year me and the Boy went to America for a 5 week holiday. It truly was one of the best things in my life. I loved the sun, the shops and the Big Apple. This year however, due to lack of funds, we are going to holiday somewhere more affordable and accessible. We have decided to try and spend a few days at a time in a different county in Ireland. Our aim is 7 this summer. People love coming over here, so we may as well discover what's on our doorstep. Let the planning commence....

*I took this photo in Donegal 2 summers ago*

(its a 3 part photo and I accidently took some of the same part twice)

Do you have any recommendations as to where to go in Ireland? Have you starting planning your hols yet? Make me jealous and let me know...

Weekly Weigh-In 3

Sorry it's a day late but the Boy landed over last night and totally ruined my plans of blogging!

1- Healthy eating! I AM A JOKE!! Last week I said I wanted to lose 2lb by this week...that did not happen. However I am trying harder already. I was going to join WeightWatchers but my mummy came up with a better idea. To put the money that a class would be into an envelope and when I lose my first stone, I can spend the money! I started this yesterday and put £20 in saying as that would be membership and the first class *I think*.

2- Shopping! I don't think I have gone shopping at all this week. Oh no actually I have *oops*. I forgot about the clothes I bought. I got a New Look voucher for Christmas and I bought a PeterPan collar tunic as it is perfect to dress up or down . Also I was early to work one day and I called into Peacocks and bought 2 Peter Pan collar tunics (I can't find these on the website) I love them and just wear them with tights and pumps.

3- Ebay! I have fallen in love with Ebay again. I used to be obsessed with it but then I calmed down. However the other night I was bored and started browsing again. I have added loads to my watch list as I am on a week shopping ban :( I'll also be doing a post later on my Ebay nail varnishes.

4- Work! Today is my first day off work in 2 weeks. I work 2 jobs and never get a day off due to me agreeing to extra hours. But that is stopping for a while. I need time more than money. It's hard for me to do anything when I work so many awkward hours a week. I'd love to be able to blog more and when I have free time I defo will.

5- Tidying! As I posted in my Simple Saturday post I have tided my room and I love it. However today is the day that the wardrobes are getting tidied and I am dreading it. I am such a hoarder! But if I throw things out then I can buy more! :)

What have you been up to this week guys?! And if you have any blog requests feel free to let me know, on here or on Twitter.
