Slimming World 3 and Operation 14

This week I cheated. I didn’t go to class because I ate like a horse the entire week. I don’t know what was wrong with me but I just couldn’t help it.

I weighed myself at home and put on 1.8lb. I was surprised it wasn’t more. However I’m back on the wagon and I’m going to try so much harder.

“Operation 14” started for me today as well. It is 14 weeks to I go on holidays and I want to lose at least 14lb by then. With lent in the middle of it, I think I will be fine. Does anyone want to join me on “Operation 14”? Any tips for me to help me on my weight loss journey?

A Whole New World

As you can tell from the title, this is going to be an Aladdin themed post. I had an early night last week, popped in the DVD and then half way through it, hit pause and went and rummaged through my nail varnish collection. I love the colour of Jasmines outfit and felt a little inspired.

Ideally the green would have had a hint of blue in it but this one will do (until payday).

I applied 2 coats of Barry M – Emerald Green on every nail and then on my ring finger nails I applied a coat of W5 – Green Dazzle on top.

I love the way the light catches the glitter on the one nail. I think it makes it stand out more.

What nail varnish would you recommend for a better jasmine inspired nail? And also what Disney DVD do you think I should get next?

Slimming World 2

This week at Slimming World I did good. I lost 4lb. 

(excuse the crappy BB pic)

I was completely shocked at this, as the only thing I did different was cut out bread. I only have 5.5lb to get to my target now, and I hope to have got there in 3-4 weeks time.

This week I am going to stay off bread and cut down on my Diet Coke intake. I am getting addicted to the stuff again. I didn’t exercise last week like I said I would, so fingers crossed I’ll make time for it this week.

How have you all got on this week if you have been trying to lose weight? Would anyone be interested in some food posts about different recipes and food I have been trying lately?

Teeny Boots Haul

I got paid so I decided to go into town to go mad and spend my hard earned money. That plan was an epic fail. I didn’t see any clothes or shoes I wanted. A bad thing for my wardrobe but a good thing for my bank account I suppose.

I did pick up a few things in Boots though so I though I would share them.

Natural Collection eyeshadow -  Crushed Walnut - £1.99

17 Mirror Shine – Belle -  £4.59

L’oreal Volume Million Lashes - £11.29  or 2 for £14

L’oreal True Match Foundation - £9.99   or 2 for £14

I got a No.7 voucher so I will just have to go and spend it soon. Any ideas what on?

Nail of the day

Just a quick nail of the day today. I haven’t been wearing nail varnish in ages. This is partly due to tiredness but mostly laziness. I decided that I missed my “different” ring finger nail colour so I picked something bright to cheer me up.

Barry M – Indigo

Essie – Tart Deco

These photos are all with only one coat because I still am a little bit lazy when it comes to painting nails.

Slimming World 1

Wednesdays to me are my Slimming World days. I vowed last week to lose 1lb to get back to having 1stone off but that didn't happen. I thought I had been good all week but that didn't happen either.

 Char and I were talking on Twitter the other day about talking pictures of everything we eat, in order to realise what exactly we were putting in our mouths. I am hoping that this will help me lose weight. I am 9lb off target and would love to get there by the end of February.


As well as trying to keep a food photo diary this week, I am also going to set myself some target and aims
*no bread
*no fizzy juice,chocolate,sweets,biscuits or crisps
*no takeaways
*exercise at least 3 times


Here's hoping I get a better result next week

Better late than never....

I know I know…I’ve been missing for a while now. Sorry. I didn’t mean to be gone for so long but I was working flat out this past month and my camera broke as well. I’m back to my normal hours now and I have a new camera so I’m hoping to get back to blogging as regularly as I can.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged so I’ll start back with a wee catch up post.

Weight – I may have fell of the Slimming World bandwagon over Christmas but I am getting fully back into it. Today started a new project for me and I’ll be sharing that with you in my next blog post.

Travels – I have my ticket for Thailand and Australia booked and I have literally just found out that my visa got approved. All I need now is travel insurance and I’m basically ready to go. Roll on May….ekkkk

Life – I am still loving life more than ever. I have amazing friends, both in real life and in the Blogging/Twitter world. I am enjoying every second these days and the New Year seems to have brought out a new me. Life is too short for regrets and hate, so I am done with it. There’s no point in wasting energy focusing on the past, when it’s the future that we can change.

Hair – My hair has changed so much in the past 8 months. I must actually do a post on it if anyone would like to see. At the minute my long hair is gone and im sporting  a angled long bob type thing. I am trying to grow it out so its all the one length for when I go away.

Here’s a pic incase you forgot me…

I am 100% definitely back into the blogging mood and it wont be long before you hear from me again

Thanks to my old followers for sticking by me and the ones who seem to want to get to know me
