I've been MIA! :O
Hey guys!
Sorry I've been missing in action the past few days! On the 15th ended up being dragged to Inverness for window shopping, 16th was the 6 year anniversary of Granny's death so spent the day with family and yesterday I was just very lazy :') (all 3 days I did some form of exciercise so don't worry!).
but back to the normal run of things, I've just finished today's workout, now I'm going to go shower, get myself presentable and take Bonnie a walk :) And I will post food, workout and water for today later on :)

How much I drink during my daily workout.
Hey guys,
So I keep getting questions from people and today's is how much I drink during my workout.
Today I've already drank 2 of my 8 glasses of water during my workout. Yesterday was 3 and the day before that was 2. So I'm averaging at about 2 and a half at the moment.
But what I'll do, is when I post about my workout, I'll let you guys know how much water I've drank during that session :)
A little tip that I read, drink your water with ice, this lowers the body's over-all temprature and increases your metabolism! Which aids weightloss in the long run. Col water is better anyway!
Anymore questions you have, you all have my on Facebook so just drop me a message with your question :D

Yoga.
These are the yoga positions I did today, I'm going to start in-coperating them into my workout at least 4 days of the week. And as it becomes easier to do each one I'll add more/change the routine and moves :)
I was never planning on doing Yoga but I've been getting bad cramps mostly in my thighs because they're not used to being worked this hard and a friend recommended I try yoga to improve circulation and flexibility. I've got nothing to lose by trying it! :D

Water Update.
8th glass of water has just been finished!
I think I might keep track of my water updates in my normal posts i.e- breakfast, supper, inspirational, quotes etc etc :)

Today's Supper,
So today for my supper I had:
- Tesco Chunky Breaded Haddock, oven cooked.
- Stir fry that included; cabbage, carrot, brocolli, small white onion, half a red onion, zukini, baby sweetcorn and brocolli. Flavoured with a little garlic, cracked black pepper and a mixture of dark and light soy sauce.
-And for afters because I really wanted something sweet I had a Square's Chocolate Orange bar with a cup of tea :)
Calories in Supper.
Stir Fried veg (including oil)- 140 calories.
Breaded Haddock- 240 calories.
Square's Chocolate Orange Bar- 149 calories.
Cup of Tea- 15 calories.
Total: 544 calories :)
I was completely full after all of this, what I find helps is concentrating on having a mouthful, chewing it completely, swallowing, taking a sip of water and then returning to eating. Definitely helped me :)

Work-out Music and Motivation.
Hey guys, so this is obviously a pretty important part of weightloss is working out and excercising on a regular basis. I've been asked to talk about the music I like to listen to during working out (I'm just going to say working out to save myself from writing both working-out and excercising). So here goes! It might be a tad word vomit but I will get it all out and in time I'll be able to fine-tune it :)
So I've got Spotify installed on my computer and that's what I've got my Work-out play list on. Some of my favourite Work-out songs are;
- Jessie J- Who's Laughing Now.
- Chemical Brothers- Galvanize.
- N-Dubz- Strong Again.
- Survivor- Eye of the Tiger. (Cliche I know)
- David Guetta feat Sia- Titanium.
- Hercules Theme- Zero to Hero.
- Jessie J- Rainbow.
- Bjork- Army of Me.
- Chemical Brothers- Hey Boy, Hey Girl
- Afrojack- No Beef.
- Queen- I want it all/We will rock you.
- Pitbull- Give me Everything.
- Adam Lambert- For your Entertainment.
- Flo Rida feat Sia- Wild Ones.
- Lady GaGa- Born this Way.
- S Club 7- Reach.
- Black Eyed Peas- Rock that Body.
- Avril Lavigne- I Always get what I Want.
- Lady GaGa- Judas.
- Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff.
I'm aware that's a long list but those are the songs that seem to give me infinite energy and stamina when I'm working out. Whether it's running, jogging, jumping jacks, strength training or aerobics. I love all those songs to workout with.
When it comes to how I motivate myself to work out when it's early and I just want to lie in bed, I think about the reasons I should workout and the reasons I started this weightloss. At the end of the day the only person respobsible for your happiness is you. Funny that? I'm losing weight for me, I'm not happy with my body and it's causing my health scares and one day these 'scares' could turn into real genuine problems, and if I'm honest, I've got enough problems to be dealing with mentally! I think about how good I'm going to feel after the work-out, the reward of a cold shower. And then the long term rewards of obviously losing weight! I'll be able to start taking 'during' pictures that I can use for further inspiration. Just remember who you're doing this for and why you're doing it and motivation to work out will be easy. Heck, even if you go for a walk that takes 10 minutes longer than usual it's a step in the right direction!
I'm honestly a great believe in putting your mind to something and suceeding. My Mum has brought me up with that. Therefore it means, if I put my mind to losing weight, put my all into it, I will. And soon enough the results I'll be seeing will be the motivation and inspiration. And I won't need quotes, I won't need pictures of nice clothes, I'll just be loving how good I'm feeling about myself.
This did turn into a word vomit but it's all straight from the heart, everyone that reads this blog, you know me personally, you know I don't bullshit about this stuff.
You just gotta think about number 1 sometimes, and that's what I'm doing. :)
So thank you all for reading this :) Going to post another wee update just after this on things non-related and I'll blog again soon after that!

Random thing I wanted to add earlier but I forgot.
This blog is going to get very personal at times and I'm going to struggle with this so when I am at that point this is where I'll be venting my feelings.
I'm not attention-seeking I am just venting my feelings because if not I keep them bottled up and they only add to my low self-esteem and confidence issues. It stresses me out and I just really don't like being stressed. So yeah, I will post emotional posts, I will post inspirational posts.
At the end of the day I've created this blog to help myself first and fore-most, and if it helps others as well then that's great but I'm doing this for myself right now.

Today's Breakfast.
Today for breakfast I had
One poached egg- 74 calories
One slice wholemeal bread toasted- 90 calories
Tea with skimmed milk and 2 sweetner- 15 calories.
One pancake with anchor lighter spread- 80 calories.
So my total calorie intake for breakfast was: 258 calories.
The kinda thing I'm going for with such a big breakfast is it will keep me full until supper time which will help me stop binge eating which is a big problem, I eat when I'm bored far too often!

1st Official Post!
Hey to the handful of people that have taken an interest in this! Thank you so much, and the fact you're even interested is giving me reason to stick to this!
This blogs number one concentration shall be on weightloss, healthy and active weightloss. I am by no means going to starve myself or make myself sick, both those things will only end up doing bad things to my body. I'll be posting meals on here along with their calorific value and the excercises and workouts I've done daily. I might not be able to update daily but I will always try and let you guys know in advance!
So I've been watching what I eat for the past 2 months or so now and it's bee going good, lost just under 2 stone so far :D
So, I'm going to finish this poster with the most inspirational quote (in picture form) I have read so far :)
It's somewhere around here :P
