I'm back! - it occured to me that since I started blogging, I haven't done a proper "get to know you post" - I want to connect with a few more bloggers/vloggers that I may not know as well and share the love! (if it works that way... I don't know...)<br />But either way, here's 50 facts about me, some you probably already know, but I've tried to keep it as interesting as possible (I hope..) but here we go!</div>

<li style="text-align: left;">To say I've moved about a bit might be a small understatement! I've lived in Middlesborough, Sheffield, Carlisle, Doncaster and Scunthorpe to name a few!<br /></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I'm a graduate, I have a bachelors degree from Sheffield Hallam University and a Foundation Degree from the University of Cumbria in Events Management!<br /></li>

<li style="text-align: left;">I'm quite clumsy and have broken numerous bones/injured myself one too many times... the most hilarious is probably dislocating my knee dancing to Michael Jackson's thriller... make of that what you will...

<li style="text-align: left;">I passed my driving test when I was 19 and I have a little red car which I called Steve (yes really...)<br /></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I gained a lot of weight at uni from the combination of bad diet, medical and general lack of exercise, I've since in the past year lost nearly 3 stone and I'm well on my way to getting fit again!<br /></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I've got an underactive thyroid and have done since birth... it makes things tough at times but since losing weight and getting fitter I've had pretty good control over it!<br /></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I hate clothes shopping... (sorry not sorry!)<br /></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I worked as a volunteer at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, I absolutely loved it and wish I could do it all again! despite the 6:30am starts!<br /></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Favourite TV show without a doubt is Friends, I've seen every episode probably 100 times over and still find it funny.<br /></li>

<li style="text-align: left;">If you had said to me 4/5 years ago that the majority of my jobs would of been in the sport/leisure sector, I probably would of laughed at you, but I've had 5 jobs in the industry, 3 of them in football!<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<li style="text-align: left;">I love cocktails but I don't mind a pint every now and then either, best of both worlds!<br /></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> "A pound? That's nothing! You'll get it off again!" was a common response when people had asked how I had done that week, but in all honesty, as much as people were trying to be encouraging, it just didn't do much for me, those of you that have followed the blog and/or know me personally may or may not know that I struggle with my self confidence when it comes to my body and figure, I do post selfies on my instagram on my "good confidence days" if you like (ha). - But I was more fustrated with myself mainly because I was half a pound off my 2 stone award at Slimming World and I really bloody wanted it! But a weekend of being slightly naughty (my own fault I know!) meant I gained rather than maintained or lost and I really kicked myself for it (not literally... Is that even possible?!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well this week, I lost 2.5lbs and I got my 2 stone award from Slimming World (WOO!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I already exercise a lot but I upped it last week, doing 5/7 days of gym/swim/walking, whatever that may be, and upped intensity, which was tough, but hey, I did it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> One thing you need to do when you unexpectedly<b>*</b> gain weight (<b>*</b> - is you forget about the ice cream and the parmo and sausage rolls you ate over the course of one weekend... oops.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> is don't be so hard on yourself, I was and those close to me would probably say that I still am to a certain extent, it's only because I want to be and look my best, which at the moment I'm still not happy with my figure, but I'm certainly getting there, I've lost nearly 3 stone and I am looking happier, healthier and fitter, but there is still serious effort to be put in before I get to where I want to be, it might take me 6 months, it might take me a year, who knows? But I'm not going to get anywhere without continuing to motivate myself and work hard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So if you have an unexpected weight gain which you're unhappy about, please try not to get too angry and upset with yourself, I did, I was in a right mardy all night and became a bit of stress head for a bit too long afterward, it can make the whole process a bit more complicated, luckily, like anytime I've had a gain, it's given me a well needed kick up the backside and I've worked extra hard the next week, so all is good!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Long story short, don't do what I did and get angry at yourself, it's not good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Work hard, but don't overdo it, pushing yourself too hard can be just as unhealthy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Look after yourself, make sure you rest appropriately and just keep your mental and physical health as priority.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Keep it simple, work hard and you'll be well on your way again... (If you want to ha).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'll get back to planning my hectic schedule now... </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thought I would write about something a bit different today, last night as I was getting ready for sleep I was flicking through old photos and realising how much has changed, not just long-term, but also in the space of a year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2015 in general was a rubbish year for me, I just wasn't happy, around this time this year I was diagnosed with depression, social anxiety and every so often I had panic attacks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was a pretty low point for me and generally, I felt awful, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Of course there was some positives, I had finally realised I needed to do something about my weight, as it was one of the heavier problems that was holding me down, I vowed to make myself happier and you know what? I have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So it's July 2016 and what's changed? What's still the same?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For one, I'm 2 stone and 6 pounds lighter and damn! don't I feel better for it! I'm still not 100% happy with my appearance, but I know I'm constantly improving and I will get where I want to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've removed toxic people from my life, people who were bringing me down, making little or no effort with me, what's the point of putting effort into those who just constantly set you up for disappointment? I've met some great people since and some I hope to be friends for life, surround yourself in people who bring out the best in you!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />I think I've toughened up a bit, I still have my moments and my down times, but I'm only human, who doesn't? I was a massive pushover (I still am to a certain extent!) but I've got a lot better at recognising when to know when things aren't working for me and when I need to take a step back, I'm incredibly loyal to those I care about and I can't stand letting people down, However, I'm not as willing to put my feelings and principles on the line for the wrong people anymore, sometimes you have to be selfish and think of yourself first.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So to summarise, what's been my highlights?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In January, I landed myself a wednesday night slot at a radio station, it's such a great station with a variety of shows and music and a fab team behind it, catch me live on air on Wednesday nights between 9pm-11pm! click on the logo below to listen live!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In April, I took the plunge after my weightloss had just come to a bit of halt and joined Slimming World, lost a total of 1st 11.5 pounds with Slimming world in just over a couple of months, which as I mentioned earlier has racked up my total weightloss to 2 stone 6 pounds, easily one of the best things I've ever done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In May, I joined Tri4Girlz - a group focused on triathlon and fitness training for ladies of all shapes, sizes and abilities, ran by my fab friend Beth, met some fantastic people through this and it's definitely helped to boosted my confidence and I'm even going to Lanzarote with them all next year!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've managed to somewhat make peace with my past, my lows times were still important, they shaped me to be the person I am today and I am a completely different person to what I was then, I'm healthier, more determined and a hell of a lot happier, which is all I want from my life.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's a number of things I have found while losing weight, some unfortunately negative, some surprising and some overall, fairly positive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Losing weight isn't considered an easy task for most, some find it a lot more challenging than others (myself included!) and I find that, at times it can be incredibly testing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over the past year, I've lost 27 pounds, (1st 13lbs), with 18.5 pounds (1st 4.5lb) of that being with Slimming World, I've certainly learnt a lot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So here are 20 things I have learnt during my weightloss:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>1. Temptation is everywhere...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, temptation just calls out to<b> </b>you, whether its the smell of KFC (yep...), Those sweets staring at you in your local Asda or that Burger in your works canteen, it's everywhere, even on your television screens and blaring through your car radio, you can't avoid it, having the strength to resist temptation isn't just willpower, its a mixture of strength too and it's a skill that has to be mastered, because sometimes, over-indulgence is just too easy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Afternoon all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm back from my trip to Amsterdam and I'm having some major holiday blues! - So I thought I would do a post on a round up of my trip, what I did, what I ate and well, how much I exercised (yes really!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So lets start off with what I did, shall we?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, I went to Amsterdam with an open mind, and I can say with hand on heart it is definitely an eye-opening experience and I wouldn't of changed it for the world!<br /><br /><br />I was accompanied by Lucy and both of us aren't massive on art, so we decided to give the art museums a miss on this occasion, we were more interested in what else Amsterdam had to offer!</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On a boat trip round the canals of Amsterdam</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> One of the main highlights of Amsterdam for me was definitely the Red Light District, I didn't get many photos of this area however, as you may probably know, the Red Light District is the famous prostitution sector of Amsterdam and is home to many windows showcasing what is to be on offer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What we did do on the Red Light District however, was take a boat trip on the canals of Amsterdam, which gives you the chance to see the sights from a different angle! Plus there's a guide and drinks on board, for only 15 euros (not including drinks) what's not to love?<br /> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Also on the Red Light District, check out Red Light Secrets, which is the Museum of Prostitution, It was generally really interesting and if you go to one of the many Tickets and Tours shops around the city, you can get a cheaper ticket for 8 euros rather than the standard 10 euros on the door! - Best thing is that it isn't sleezy, it's really interesting, informative and fun! It even had a confessions wall/booth and a fun photo booth, which added a really fun twist to the subject! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another similar museum which ypu have probably all heard of is the Sex Museum which is on the main street down from Centraal Station, I have a couple of photos from my trip there but I won't share them as they are probably a tad rude, but if you're planning to go, here's the location, incredibly easy to get to and its only 4 euros on the door:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The other museum we went to and I believe is a definite must see:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYvWqGGk6BfZ3G5kppArMWI91LsMvMPlNlKGvNs6hZsdt8TMQLfNhyphenhyphenMA6QmiKPhVLsK40RphJoBOZuobqh9tlETGvRj-3HDELFGU5941HQve-3KePET2stS5XHWEjlWvCqn6CucxjTYZpf/s1600/Anne+Frank.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYvWqGGk6BfZ3G5kppArMWI91LsMvMPlNlKGvNs6hZsdt8TMQLfNhyphenhyphenMA6QmiKPhVLsK40RphJoBOZuobqh9tlETGvRj-3HDELFGU5941HQve-3KePET2stS5XHWEjlWvCqn6CucxjTYZpf/s640/Anne+Frank.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now unfortunately, you aren't allowed to take any photos in the actual museum, so I don't have anything of the inside, but it's the actual annexe that Anne Frank and her family hid in during the war and it's packed full of information of Anne Frank, her diary, her family and helpers and the holocaust, it's incredibly interesting and quite moving in parts, I booked online before we flew, but you can also get discount tickets at different Tickets and Tours stops, so check it out!<br />It's pre-bookings only between 9am-3:30pm, after that until closing time, it's walk in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now enough of the museums, as interesting as they were, we had a great time doing some other stuff too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the first night we went to the XtraCold Ice Bar, which as you probably guessed, is a bar made completely of ice! - We bought the "Cool Arrangement" which is 24 euros per person (Around £19) for entry to the ice bar, a welcome drink in the regular bar, 2 drinks/shots in the ice bar and a printed photo of the experience! Which we both thought was brilliant!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We booked our tickets online before we flew out to Amsterdam but you can get the same arrangement for 18 euros from the Tours and Ticket shops! - so I would definitely recommend that you do that if you're planning on going, the Ice Bar is also themed on the seven seas so you get the full experience with actors and bartenders, it's fantastic and would highly recommend it to any of you!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Also one of the great things about Amsterdam is all the unique shops you can get:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I can't remember what the cake shop is called in the top left (sorry!) but it's just along from Dam Square and their Red Velvet Macaroons were gorgeous! Top right was breakfast from the cafe downstairs from our accommodation, which was lovely, was from <a href="http://omaietje.nl/">Oma Letje</a> in Bullewijk, just outside the metro station. Then the Amsterdam Duck store, which is (as you probably guessed) just full of different themed rubber ducks, definitely a novelty! And on the outskirts of the Red Light District is <a href="https://condomerie.com/">Condomerie</a> ! The first novelty condom specialist shop, which is a must see! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Then onto what I hope is the most impressive part (Again, I hope!) we walked around Amsterdam ALOT, and over the three days we were there we walked around 33 miles and averaged over 20,000 steps each day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We also hired bikes and cycled over 25 miles across 2 days around Amsterdam!<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So racked up some serious exercise points too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There's quite a few different slimming teas out on the market now, including the likes of Bootea, Skinny Mint and Teatox, the market for it is certainly growing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I tried Bootea on 2 occasions, the first I was kind of impressed, the 2nd time, not so much, and I still have a nearly full box in my room somewhere! So generally, I dismissed the entire "Teatox" market after this, until I discovered Pre Tea Slim.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif6Gk1b7VzRrO_uZ-SgJsfeFRn_7DiMdb-PsyL-b8LS3lqO9IU1BefJkD11UX5nliZ0Gi7fx443v7TaH41KfP0vzfCtz9K5bWZ6LkX3ES1N0afl6SOf21uCxzlya14fKZJ-8_iwZS3JBJt/s1600/PreTeaSlim.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="635" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif6Gk1b7VzRrO_uZ-SgJsfeFRn_7DiMdb-PsyL-b8LS3lqO9IU1BefJkD11UX5nliZ0Gi7fx443v7TaH41KfP0vzfCtz9K5bWZ6LkX3ES1N0afl6SOf21uCxzlya14fKZJ-8_iwZS3JBJt/s640/PreTeaSlim.png" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I first saw this, I must admit that I was skeptical, after my experience with Bootea, but either way, I gave it a try!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was pleasantly surprised, I sampled both the morning boost and the night time cleanse, and they both tasted lovely! So after sampling a cup of them each I was eager to try a 7 day sample.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I must note that I didn't weigh myself before/after doing the 7 day test, I was however testing to see how much effect it had on my body and mindfulness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now before I go onto the 7 day trial, lets talk ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7DmPQX1iqz9ROXSjJYgEbSwPD244qhLsjjfkgOMo3P4-Z4zumKdC2MQM-kHI4M3DdcseIyfJQ_O7W5X63xYVz6_FGcAmV9kQ_tZH1M76E0gPHouA8mdU5qIfkRO7QV8eOD5PWJ4IgUNQ/s1600/Ingredients+Tea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7DmPQX1iqz9ROXSjJYgEbSwPD244qhLsjjfkgOMo3P4-Z4zumKdC2MQM-kHI4M3DdcseIyfJQ_O7W5X63xYVz6_FGcAmV9kQ_tZH1M76E0gPHouA8mdU5qIfkRO7QV8eOD5PWJ4IgUNQ/s640/Ingredients+Tea.jpg" width="492" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Daytime Blend:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Blended Formosa, Oolong with Mate, Ginger Root, Gynostemma, Lemongrass, Safflower and Rose Flavour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Night Blend:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Egyptian Camomile with Peppermint, Liquorice Fennel, Coriander Seeds, Cardamom and Lavender.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">All these ingredients are blended in the UK and are 100% natural, no nasty laxatives or additives! This is also the only tea of its kind blended in the UK, which is one of the big factors that sold it to me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The teabags themselves have a great shape to them too, which when placed in boiling water, extract as much flavour as possible from the blend to give a really great taste!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXHEkvB1z0g9hOXgzCvCf6S6-aseA2w9SxKIlszJCeRahlB_qcrWTuMwG3JH5esD71yZR0JRowlmwW7_9JjQQQ-3kn1Q7YHAQTeOxS5LeT_i8g_HoALrfQjPav46idI6TgCBtGHtDPyNV/s1600/Teabags+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXHEkvB1z0g9hOXgzCvCf6S6-aseA2w9SxKIlszJCeRahlB_qcrWTuMwG3JH5esD71yZR0JRowlmwW7_9JjQQQ-3kn1Q7YHAQTeOxS5LeT_i8g_HoALrfQjPav46idI6TgCBtGHtDPyNV/s640/Teabags+copy.jpg" width="528" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, onto the 7 day trial.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As I mentioned earlier, I had already had a taste of each blend, but now was my chance to see if it really lived up to my first impressions!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Luckily, they didn't disappoint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Those who know me know that I love my sleep and I do not enjoy getting up in a morning at the best of time (but who does?!) - Now the first thing I did was make a cup of the Daytime Blend, in the hope it would help wake me up, the smell of the tea alone was lovely and I found myself really enjoying the tea! - As the day went on, I found myself with more energy, I felt happier and the best of all, I didn't feel the need to snack on bad foods, which is a massive bonus and best of all, it tasted lovely! - This carried on for the entire 7 week sample and I felt so much better each morning having had a cup of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, onto the Night blend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Admittedly this is the one I was more skeptical about, after sampling market rival Bootea, I felt myself having to rush to the toilet more in a way that felt a lot less natural! (the laxative effect!) and I wasn't keen on Bootea's night teatox, however with the Pre Tea Slim Night Blend, it was a completely different story! It tasted lovely, I felt relaxed, and I actually fell asleep so much easier that night!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Also, on a plus side, it cleaned me out in a way that felt a lot healthier and a lot more natural than the other teatox brand! Sorry if that was too much info, but its fact!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, happier and a lot more content, I was even happier that this effect carried on for the entire 7 day cycle!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I fully recommend you try this out for yourself and see what I mean!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Evening all!<br /><br /><br />I feel like I've been saying this way too often in my posts, but unfortunately it is true that blogging has taken a back seat in my life, but I am really hoping that I'll have some more time to do it soon!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So where have I been?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In a nutshell, I've been:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At work, Joined Slimming World, Swimming with Tri4Girlz or at the gym... <br /><br />like I said, in a nutshell right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However, all of these have been a positive step forward to where I ultimately want to be, which is a better me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So far I've lost 16lbs (WOO!) - with Slimming World, earning my 1/2 stone, 1 stone and bronze body magic awards, I'm finally starting to get my confidence back and I go on my first solo (well, without family!) holiday to Amsterdam next week with my best friend Lucy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm looking forward to Amsterdam and will be sure to put a post up about our adventures soon! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However in the meantime, here's what we can hope to see on the blog in (hopefully!) near future:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Amsterdam travels, weightloss updates, Tri4Girlz, Pre Tea Slim review and anything else that may spring to mind! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That's that really, don't worry, I haven't disappeared all together!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Speak soon,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Just cycled between 50-60 reps per minute to warm up my body before getting going, then we went into interval training...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Started off by going 30 seconds as hard/fast as I could, could really feel this in my thighs and bum (or glutes if you want to be technical ha!) with 2 minutes recovery inbetween, which I did for around 10 minutes ish, then carried on with 20 seconds hard with 20 seconds recovery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It hurt but definitely got me warmed up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Afterwards we went onto the step machine, which I was doing a hard minute without stopping which 30 seconds rest in between, which we did for around 10 minutes too, my calves took an absolute lashing from them but its weirdly satisfying after workout ache now if I must say!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After this we moved onto arms...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I used the battle rope with a variety of different arm movements, 3 times for around 30 secs each, which really made my upper arms work! then did a miltary press (sort of) with a 6kg kettlebell, 10 arms each, alongside lifting 4kg in each hand 10 times with the mini green dumbells.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also did some bicep curls with this actual bar:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not sure how heavy it actually was in all honesty but it was heavy... put it that way haha (for me anyway!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After that, arms were done and we moved onto abs (woo!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Started with 10 situps and 10 crunches, I did that twice with a short break in between.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then we got the big pink ball out and tried something different!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I raised my legs and rested them on the ball and did 4 normal crunches and then on the 5th one I held it there for around 5ish seconds,<br />I did that about 4 times, then afterwards I crossed my leg over whilst resting it and did the same but twisting to the left/right for 4 reps and holding it on the 5th to make it a bit more challenging!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi all,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today's post is a little bit different and probably a slightly touchy subject for some, it was for me, but now I've found the confidence to speak out about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Body Shaming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is incredibly likely that at somepoint in your life, whoever you are, you've been a victim of body shaming, the 2 most common I've seen are "fat" shaming and "skinny" shaming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm that bored of seeing it, it kind of makes me feel a bit like: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjYHNYlU3uZSr5YM86ygitF0SFHyCMCJkXnxDMnZmT1hBYKD3km4XnVPAwiGMU9tUc1pEiPqb5FjH0EEVgiXC_Q3EJVDuxNjFrJ7hQ1-vA2megxIicL_ln_HUcKSOQ3U6Np76NBgYeU7N/s1600/Frizz.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjYHNYlU3uZSr5YM86ygitF0SFHyCMCJkXnxDMnZmT1hBYKD3km4XnVPAwiGMU9tUc1pEiPqb5FjH0EEVgiXC_Q3EJVDuxNjFrJ7hQ1-vA2megxIicL_ln_HUcKSOQ3U6Np76NBgYeU7N/s400/Frizz.gif" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now when I was at my biggest, I've been told by complete strangers to lose weight, whether it was to my face or I overheard them pointing and staring and trust me when I say, it hurts.<br />It brings your confidence down and it makes you begin to question your self image, your self confidence and everything around you, something of which I still get very anxious about despite me having lost some weight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I wouldn't wish that sort of feeling on my worst enemy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now I have friends who are naturally slim, they don't put a lot of weight on no matter what they eat, or what they do, it just doesn't happen, but they're made to feel rubbish for liking their bodies... why?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As women and men alike, we should be empowering each other and lifting each other up, not dragging each other down, whether you're a size 6 or a size 22, what is the point in putting someone down? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As long I'm happy with myself, it has got nothing to do with anyone else.<br />As long as YOU are happy with yourself, it has got nothing to do with anyone else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you are happy and healthy, then you shouldn't feel shame in the way you look, the way you dress, the way you feel about yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you want to lose weight and tone up? Do it. If you don't, don't! like I said, if you're happy and healthy it is your choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I will continue to do the work I'm doing to improve myself, because I want to, since losing weight my physical and mental state have improved, I'm happier and most importantly, healthier. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't get out of breath walking up stairs anymore, I don't feel as sad when I look in the mirror anymore and my confidence has boosted.<br />I did it all for myself and I will continue to until I feel my absolute best.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is no reason YOU should feel bad about yourself because somebody else says so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a lot of people out there who maybe a size 6 or a size 16 or a size 24 because of medical issues, because of issues they don't even know they have themselves, but lets sweep this judgemental aura about other people under the carpet, lets focus on ourselves and the people we love because that's what life is all about isn't it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Love yourself!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Until next time,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Evening all!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It seems that blogging seems to have taken a bit of a backseat in my life, but I really hope I'll be back to regular posting soon! life seems to get in the way at the moment, but hey, lets see how it goes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what's new? Well as I mentioned, I've joined Slimming World and I did my first week on the plan and guess what? I lost 3 and a half pounds! Which I am over the moon with, naturally!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I must admit I was a little bit skeptical about joining at first as I didn't really know if joining it would benefit me, but it had got to the point where my eating wasn't in shape and the exercise just wasn't enough! Then, when I saw a voucher in a magazine to join without a membership fee, I took as a sign that I should just go ahead and do it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Besides, hitting a brick wall with weightloss pretty much feels like this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So then, what happened?<br />I rang up the consultant via the Slimming World website and told her I was coming down, and well when I went, it's just packed full of info and support from not just the consultant, but the other members too:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I did like this board, as it's realistic and friendly, everyone and I mean everyone has off days and bad days food wise whether you're dieting or not, so a little encouragement and friendly words go a long way!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the other board, a hint for when you're feeling hungry! (Which FYI, I followed this religiously this week!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On top of the boards, the table was covered in books and packaging from the ready made Iceland range just so you could take a look!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, how does the night go? Everyone comes in and buys anything they may want to (new cookbook, hifi bars etc...) then lines up to sign in and pay weekly fee (if applicable) and get weighed, any weightloss is written in the book you recieve when you join!<br />Afterwards, everyone is sat and we share if we've lost or gained and how much or if we've maintained and we set our goals for the week ahead, that is pretty much it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What's even better is that I lost 3 and a half pounds in my first week! - Hoping for a minimum of a pound weightloss each week!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The best part about Slimming World is that I don't even feel like I'm on a diet! I've probably eaten more this week than I have in a while and still lost some! bonus!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I picked this book up for £5 too, which I've had a quick flick through and some of the dishes look so easy and best of all nice (to say I'm a bit of a fussy eater!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The first was taken just over 2 months ago, the other, 2 days ago, not the biggest of differences but just after new year I was concerned that my stomach wasn't toning and getting smaller so it's a great motivating step in the right direction for me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Evening all,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This week I finally bit the bullet and did something that I never thought I would do or have been putting off doing at least anyway...<br /><br />I joined Slimming World.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Why you ask?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />Well even though I've lost at least a stone, I've only managed to somewhat maintain it rather than it carry on losing it, so after a lot of thought (and seeing that I could join for free with a magazine *cough*) - I decided to go ahead and do it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know people who have done it and have been successful in their weightloss goals, so why not give it a try?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'll update you on everything after my first session on tuesday (woo!) and I'll be updating you on my progress as well!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Another club I've signed up for is Tri4Girlz - run by my fab friend Beth (who has been featured on here before) - an all womens triathalon training club.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">*I'm not training for a triathalon, just to help me get in better shape and fitter... Just to clear that up ha!*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">check out the Tri4Girlz website:<br /><br /><a href="http://tri4girlz.co.uk/">Tri4Girlz</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'll be doing another post about Tri4Girlz soon once it kicks off and gets going! So watch out for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On top of this, I'm still going to the gym but I'm trying to introduce more classes into my life!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So far I've done one kettlebell class (give me credit I've only just started!) and I am still aching from it 2 days later! But, I really want to do it again, after I've tried some others so look out for that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Evening all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I'd share this quick and simple and probably healthier alternative to your takeaway pizza!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's incredibly quick and simple to make and plus you can put whatever you want on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you need is the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A flatbread (feel free to make your own dough, but it is very time consuming!) - This one is a cheese and tomato flatbread from Morrisons which is £1.55!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mozarella is the best cheese to use in my opinion, as despite cheese being high in fat, it is considered a lower fat cheese and it spreads across easily and you can get balls of mozarella from most good supermarkets for under £1!<br /><br />I used a variety pack of salami, chorizo and parma ham on mine, this pack you can get again from most supermarkets for under £3 and I also had spinach on it, for a slight green effect which you can get packs from supermarkets for usually under £2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Price wise this is going to be no more than £8.55 (ish!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always put the cheese on last for some good coverage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have your oven pre heated between 180-200 degrees C.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about 5-10 minutes in the oven (depending on how well done you prefer it!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the outcome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course you don't have to follow my toppings, you can choose a variety of toppings and make it as simple or as adventurous as you like!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Feel free to make an accompaniment of salad or potato wedges too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a short one tonight but should you give this a try, let me know of your results!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello, hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After having a small break from my blog, I am back and I thought my first post back from said break should be something a little bit different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those of you that read my blog may well be aware that I have suffered with depression and social anxiety, and have done for over 10 years... which was incredibly hard to accept as I was scared of the label of "depressed" and the mental in "mental health";<br />But you know what? Once I did accept it, it's not all that bad... I have had an awful lot of knocks in my life, I have previously considered myself fairly unlucky for a lot of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, towards the end of last year I decided to at least try and stop being so negative, my anxiety and what not caused me to be a "glass half empty" sort of person, but I stopped and realised despite the amount of crap I've had to deal with, I've got through it and I'm going from strength to strength.<br /><br />Since the beginning of secondary school, I've dealt with some bad bullying, some horrible medical issues, most of which is down to my thyroid, but hey ho, on I soldier anyway and then my self confidence issues due to my appearance, weight, past issues with bullying and people letting me down.<br />It's the smaller things with me that get down, even something as simple as being called "boring" or when I think people are talking about me behind my back, the smallest things can set my anxiety off, but I'm taking small steps being able to control it and feel better about myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But anyway, onto a more positive note (since its what this post is supposed to be all about!)<br /><br />This morning when I went to the gym, I noticed they were promoting a small project called #LoveYourSelfie and I think it's a fantastic idea! You basically take a little paper heart (they have red hearts but you know...whatever you have available!) and put the heart next to a part of the body that they love/that they're proud of.<br /><br />I think that it's such a good idea and I want you all to get involved with this where you can!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on instagram or twitter or anywhere, put your "#LoveYourSelfie" it could even just be you holding a heart up to say you love yourself and that's great, we need more positivity in this world and it's a great way to start it off! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure to tag me if you take part, I want to see self confidence and body positivity everywhere!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't currently got any red card, so I'm going to share some images with you that show my progress and show that I am proud of my slow transformation! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was featured on the "This Girl Can" campaign's social media platform, a campaign by Sport England who are attempting to get women everywhere, no matter what age, size, ability or anything to get involved and exercise and do sports, I 100% agree with the campaign, having been doing this for nearly a year now, I believe 110% that sports and exercise can make you feel a lot better about yourself, I feel more active, fitter and my confidence is getting better and better, see about their fab campaign <a href="http://www.thisgirlcan.co.uk/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being featured on their social media platforms was just another step in the right direction for me and if I can inspire women like myself or anyone for that matter to get up and feel better about themselves, I will!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now to carry on with the self love and confidence theme I'm going to share this with you:</div>

To be honest I was sat around for a good half an hour wondering as to whether or not I should actually upload it or not to any of my social media platforms, although I finally did to my instagram and even though I have a long way to go, I'm proud of my progress so far (also I need to work on my abs lol...) but my stomach and figure is getting smaller and fitter everyday with the effort I'm putting in!</div>

The first photo was taken in May 2015 when I first started, the second was taken end of november/beginning of december time 2015 and the final photo was taken in 2016, well last week actually, I'm getting so excited about how much fitter I'm getting! I love seeing the difference between photos! Just inspires me to carry on and keep going!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus the best thing is, that I'm doing it all for myself, by myself (well somewhat) and achieving these is fantastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually the by myself is a slight lie, big shoutout of thanks to Beth from Tri 2 Swim who gave me the kick up the bum I needed to get started and Sian from Potential fitness who trains me and gives me 100% whatever I'm doing and of course my friends and family who have been there throughout.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To continue on as well, I have my own radio show now too, I've been doing this for a couple of months now and I love love love it, I'm basically talking to myself for a couple of hours into a big microphone but its definitely boosted my self confidence and it gets me out of the house on a wednesday night! Everyone is a winner hahaha! You can listen to me live on Redroad FM on wednesday nights between 9pm-11pm, be sure to listen and text in/tweet me, I'll give you a shoutout!<br />Listen live <a href="http://www.redroadfm.com/listen/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on one last note, I know its easier said than done but love yourself and brim yourself with confidence, take baby steps if you have to, because you can be whatever you want to be and you can do whatever you want! You just have to put yourself in a good frame of mind!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and #LoveYourSelfie!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Morning all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was hoping to post this last night, but it got late and spent most of my evening preparing my meals for the week! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've managed to do 4 days worth of meals, well lunch and tea! as I usually have weetabix for breakfast... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJxs387OftvFC93TTTftd0EfLKhtrjooHDRDtEdL_t6eIf1nVifyHOCBEGT0RMV5tChxIppNTtaraCHLXt6L8d33sl0E65nI6JNwxeDbvdbT8Zg89VRlbOi_79Y8eVdwowD7-TBtZZ9SQs/s1600/food+prep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJxs387OftvFC93TTTftd0EfLKhtrjooHDRDtEdL_t6eIf1nVifyHOCBEGT0RMV5tChxIppNTtaraCHLXt6L8d33sl0E65nI6JNwxeDbvdbT8Zg89VRlbOi_79Y8eVdwowD7-TBtZZ9SQs/s640/food+prep.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are all the ingredients I used for my food prep, it's not an awful lot but they all make up different meals!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Frozen Kale, Chicken Breast Fillet, Medium Fat Philadelphia, Smoked Salmon Slices, Bacon, Frozen Avocado, Wholegrain Noodles, Wholegrain Brown Pasta, Lemon Juice, Pepper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not included in the photo is Semi Skimmed Milk, Chinese Five Spice and Reduced Salt soy sauce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before you start cooking, make sure you have plenty of storage for your meals, nothing worse than going and creating nearly a weeks worth of food and not enough to store it in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrW28TEGky4IMHlLOHNsPCF08eRiYErYGBKDTWjD7AiryO5UAoCcXY9tCwBF8BIHvy7giHVS1P6KoOmfkZWsxCZG2SKAlUODNOp7UrAItV4ZQsykhOPNQ9qIZTQVwgvUrBidFE7TGA33u/s1600/Empty+pots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrW28TEGky4IMHlLOHNsPCF08eRiYErYGBKDTWjD7AiryO5UAoCcXY9tCwBF8BIHvy7giHVS1P6KoOmfkZWsxCZG2SKAlUODNOp7UrAItV4ZQsykhOPNQ9qIZTQVwgvUrBidFE7TGA33u/s320/Empty+pots.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, onto the food...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off making off Smoked Salmon pasta which is actually one of my favourite meals!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixwndaUticCZ18b2GvTKNc5UNMXLxVxAlCmRRQp9NyCZldfMGN-H7xUperyJoaQXPsD2af0pm88SNiBUyxDjpulXU0-O08St0OsZ3nKeRkcGLCh96sZxeH8tDmGNyDZuJ25S5hLbEWUZkx/s1600/2016-02-07+17.12.32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixwndaUticCZ18b2GvTKNc5UNMXLxVxAlCmRRQp9NyCZldfMGN-H7xUperyJoaQXPsD2af0pm88SNiBUyxDjpulXU0-O08St0OsZ3nKeRkcGLCh96sZxeH8tDmGNyDZuJ25S5hLbEWUZkx/s640/2016-02-07+17.12.32.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coffee Machine isn't included haha! but you basically boil the pasta, and then in a seperate pan, you create a sauce with Philadelphia cream cheese as the base, add a little bit of milk in (the more you put in, the runnier the sauce will be, but you don't need a lot!), a splash of lemon juice and a little bit of pepper then rip up the slices of smoked salmon and add in, you cook it with the sauce.<br />As soon as you put the pan on the heat, keep stirring until its at a runny consistency.<br />Once you've drained your pasta, add the sauce and the pasta together and hey presto! you're sorted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I needed to cook the chicken as it was going in more than one of my meals, I had a rather large chicken breat fillet, so chopped it up into numerous pieces and then fried off in rapeseed oil (rapeseed oil is apparently better for you!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used the chicken in some wholemeal noodles with Kale, chinese five spice and reduced salt soy sauce to make some noodle dishes, which by the way taste great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My final other dish is another favourite of chicken, bacon and avocado salad, it's a mixed leaves salad with little bits of chicken breast, chopped bits of fried off bacon and mashed avocado, no dressing needed as the avocado provides it all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the finished products:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAHdiGsS0N3uYgSOUdlbTzy28LmM_g_GWfFUvXNAECkEA6OjM0X0DxIjVXes5frj-I7JGC4VJFY0rgTRiOMZYwmvDJqzCe_hnqaxDVluh2EjvK9BUHwG-4MfvZnnviZe8Hu673L0PYebsl/s1600/2016-02-07+20.05.25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAHdiGsS0N3uYgSOUdlbTzy28LmM_g_GWfFUvXNAECkEA6OjM0X0DxIjVXes5frj-I7JGC4VJFY0rgTRiOMZYwmvDJqzCe_hnqaxDVluh2EjvK9BUHwG-4MfvZnnviZe8Hu673L0PYebsl/s640/2016-02-07+20.05.25.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really looking forward to my meals this week now and it's so much easier for work that I can just pop in my bag for work, also I can freeze them to perserve them if necessary!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All together (including cleaning!) It took me about 2 hours, but its probably saved me a lot of time for the following week! so whether you're dieting or not, it might be worth preparing your food just to make it a lot easier for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, that is a Bertolli Butter tub, but they're decent portion sized haha!<br />I'm hoping to do more of these posts in the future so I'll keep you updated with anymore other interesting meals I may prep in the future for you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So until next time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Afternoon all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is a little bit of a mish mash, I've recently bought some new gym and workout gear, and I've been meal prepping left right and centre this week! I also thought I would talk you through my PT session with Sian from Potential Fitness today too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So first up, my new gym gear!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday I headed to Junction 32 shopping centre in Castleford, literally so I could visit the Nike Factory, Adidas and New Balance outlet stores and came away with my new gym shoes! For £45 I thought they were an absolute steal, as after doing my research it seems they were originally priced at near enough £100!<br /><br />Although, they are men's 5.0 running shoes, the women's sizing was actually too small for my clown feet haha! But I absolutely love them, they're so comfy and I've felt a difference in my workouts since I got them, definitely worth the money!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next is my new sports bra!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this on ASOS for £28, which may seem a lot, but I still have a valid student card and it's again worth the money, great support and really comfy! - Would definitely recommend ladies if you're looking for a new one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I finally got my hands on a 'This Girl Can' T-Shirt!</div>

Plus, to top it off, they featured this selfie on their social media channels! Which I was ridiculously excited about! View them here:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another ridiculously comfy piece of activewear, I also wear it for lounging about too, but I intend to wear it for when I start going to some classes which I'll be updating you on in the future!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what else have I been up to? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Meal Prepping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I looked as glamourous as Beyonce when I was doing it but it was definitely far from the case!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must of been cooking for about 2 hours but I managed to get about 4 days worth of food sorted! I did 2 lots of salmon, spinach, kale and brown rice, 3 lots of wholegrain pasta with chicken, quorn sausages, kale, basil with a chopped tomato sauce and then 2 lots of wholegrain noodles with chicken and kale with reduced salt soy sauce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is my first time doing meal prepping properly so I'm going to try and mix it up a bit and do some different dishes when I prep again tomorrow, I'm going to try and do a post with all my prep again if I'm not too flustered afterwards! - But so far, I'm finding it so much easier, I don't know why I haven't done this previously! But I'm hoping that this will get my eating back into good habits, especially whilst I'm at work, with the likes of subway, mcdonalds, kfc and greggs etc just across the road from where I work, it's almost too easy to give into temptation, no more when I have my prepped meals in toll! (wahey!), I forgot to take photos whilst I was prepping so I'll try and do a post on that soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But onto today's PT Session with Sian!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off on the Watt Bike - Where I had a normal 5 minutes and then did 5 minutes interval warm up with 10 seconds extra effort and speed, with a 20 second recovery, repeated for 5 minutes, I also tried 20 seconds with extra effort and speed and then 40 second recovery time for a couple of minutes too, to get my heart rate going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdyDRu6XWdGUAW4fUtEkwTTgR0ZznybhF15_lHfwPmB9FLoRafGw6cqpBG4PWUd1BFTJQ5uP_ctLC_Au7OCMavLn68gvYMfO_biYhocfbzFEbP8o9t624O2NdrmHWB5tT6QpjI0e28oGq/s1600/2016-02-04+11.03.45.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdyDRu6XWdGUAW4fUtEkwTTgR0ZznybhF15_lHfwPmB9FLoRafGw6cqpBG4PWUd1BFTJQ5uP_ctLC_Au7OCMavLn68gvYMfO_biYhocfbzFEbP8o9t624O2NdrmHWB5tT6QpjI0e28oGq/s400/2016-02-04+11.03.45.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the watt bike warm up it was onto the treadmill starting with a 6% gradient (6.0 incline) and increasing the gradient by 0.5% every 30 seconds until I got up to 12% gradient (12.0 incline), speed varied between 2.5 and 3.0 as I have a previous knee injury and it can hinder my exercise at times.<br />Once I reached my 12% gradient I could gradually bring it down back to 6% which worked my legs and got my heart beating!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This went on for around 20ish minutes, afterwards I went on to work with these:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I would of done some situps/planks/pressups etc - but a couple of weeks ago I did some ligament damage to my left wrist, so we did the following for the last part of my session.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with single leg step ups on each leg with 4kg weights in each hand (the green ones in the photo!), after this I went straight into 15 deep squats holding a 6kg kettlebell weight, afterwards in was straight into 30 seconds of fast step ups, 30 seconds starting on each leg.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did this process three times with small rest periods in between to get my breath back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm feeling incredibly sore but feel so much better for it! I'm looking forward to my next session already! Be sure to check out Sian's page on facebook! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Potential-Fitness-1663590160539622/?fref=ts">Potential Fitness on Facebook</a></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a lot coming up in the near future which I'm hoping to both vlog and blog about! I'll be sure to keep you all updated, but until next time!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOwNkYTDuMaJEodV5vDYU3a60IWRHPe4ktwznJ51PJczXyNswoNIAvz3lVhBkMCeOsjodaM4Q7xdMraeajWrX-9rB2wCAbnSivgJugPAAA-ZG1cbSbcowkMRHmbwvnnEWz3nDVxWrpG7kE/s1600/Blog+Signature+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOwNkYTDuMaJEodV5vDYU3a60IWRHPe4ktwznJ51PJczXyNswoNIAvz3lVhBkMCeOsjodaM4Q7xdMraeajWrX-9rB2wCAbnSivgJugPAAA-ZG1cbSbcowkMRHmbwvnnEWz3nDVxWrpG7kE/s640/Blog+Signature+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Afternoon all!<br /><br />Another day, another blog post, but today I wanted to open up about a condition that I think is often overlooked or not taken into account.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hypothyroidism.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>What is it?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hypothyroidism is a condition of the Thyroid which causes it to be underactive, which means it releases less thyroxine or none at all in and around your body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For those of you who don't know what a thyroid is, it's a butterfly shaped gland that sits along the windpipe and if you're male, below the adams apple, you can't really feel it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMVhIsTOkDM5Y4BcM5J4g2W3hMiVGEirYwVPWwvOR26IJpw-nJwCZhRd1uICNNL1DXQ_E9C5_mSxErTtEYFAlD-SERtHMjn3x8sDD5OKE3ic3XTjlAdRNCKgZtFI45hRSnvK6kczy1Ysfk/s1600/thyroidgland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMVhIsTOkDM5Y4BcM5J4g2W3hMiVGEirYwVPWwvOR26IJpw-nJwCZhRd1uICNNL1DXQ_E9C5_mSxErTtEYFAlD-SERtHMjn3x8sDD5OKE3ic3XTjlAdRNCKgZtFI45hRSnvK6kczy1Ysfk/s320/thyroidgland.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What does the thyroid actually do?<br /><br /><br />Taken from: <a href="http://www.btf-thyroid.org/information/your-thyroid-gland">British Thyroid Foundation</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"The thyroid makes two hormones that it secretes into the blood stream.
One is called thyroxine; this hormone contains four atoms of iodine and
is often called T4. The other is called triiodothyronine, which contains
three atoms of iodine and is often called T3. In the cells and tissues
of the body the T4 is converted to T3. It is the T3, derived from T4 or
secreted as T3 from the thyroid gland, which is biologically active and
influences the activity of all the cells and tissues of your body."<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">"The T4, or rather the T3 derived from it, and the T3 secreted
directly by the thyroid gland influence the metabolism of your body
cells. In other words, it regulates the speed with which your body cells
work. If too much of the thyroid hormones are secreted, the body cells
work faster than normal, and you have hyperthyroidism. If too little of the thyroid hormones are produced
(known as hypothyroidism), the cells and organs of your body slow down.
If you become hypothyroid, your heart rate, for example, may be slower
than normal and your intestines work sluggishly, so you can become
constipated."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is something I have suffered with from birth and luckily it's controlled with medication, however, I have to have routine blood tests to check that my thyroxine levels are where they should be and I have to take tablets every morning and I've had to do that since I was 2 weeks old! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It affects me in a lot of day to day aspects and it can cause the following:<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Weight gain</b><br />Slow movements, thought and speech<br /><b>Pins and needles</b><br />Breathlessness<br /><b>Dizziness</b><br />Palpitations<br /><b>Loss of libido</b><br />Dry/gritty eyes<br /><b>Hoarse voice</b><br />Difficulty swallowing<br /><b>Hair loss especially outer third of eyebrows</b><br />Dry skin<br /><b>Muscle and joint pain</b><br />Carpal tunnel syndrome<br /><b>Loss of appetite</b><br />Constipation</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Fatigue</b><br />Low Metabolism<br /><b>Tiredness</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These are just a handful of symptoms that people suffer with, sources say that there is over 300 different symptoms of hypothyroidism alone and an estimated 300 million people worldwide are suffering which is staggering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Weight gain is certainly one I struggle with, which is the main subject of this blog, it's a known fact that its a lot easier (usually) to put it on than lose the weight!<br />However there is a bigger struggle with my thyroid condition as I get tired very easily and my low metabolism makes it difficult to get up and go, which means I can sometimes lack motivation, luckily I only suffer from a couple of these symptoms/factors on the list, but I can only imagine that its awful to suffer from nearly all or a lot of those factors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Apart from weight gain and the struggle with weightloss, I can go through a lot of different emotions and phases throughout the day, I can often wake up tired and not really have the energy to get out of bed somedays (of course I do eventually!) and it has been said that you can be prone to anxiety and depression, two things I have again, suffered with for a large portion of my life, however, on a positive note, if I manage to get up easily in a morning, I try and stay positive and get through the day, no matter what it throws at me! It also means that I have a low immune system which means unfortunately for me, that if there's a bug going around, I am more than likely going to catch it! (sad face), but it can be avoided if I take extra care. <br /><br />One stigma I've identified is that people use hypothyroidism as an excuse for being lazy, I can say that for the majority (at least!!) for us sufferers, this is not the case, we genuinely struggle and you need to be patient with us! I've noticed a positive change in my energy since I've started exercising reguarly, which can be a task in itself at times when I'm over tired and lack motivation, so if you're a sufferer and haven't tried doing exercise, even if its just walking or going to a class once a week, give it a go! it might surprise you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The opposite to this is hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid, basically the complete opposite of hypothyroidism, feel free to research on that if you're interested, there is plenty of information online!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I hope this post has provided some good information about a condition that some of you probably didn't know existed and also gives you awareness as to how this illness can affect those that are suffering! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />Until next time,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So when my mum suggested doing a homemade version, I was both excited and slightly skeptical, because if you're a nandos lover like me, is it really possible to top it?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lemon Juice, one tablespoon of tomato puree, a teaspoon of tomato ketchup (which I usually despise!), a bit of garlic granules, a teaspoon of smoked paprika, a tiny bit of cayenne pepper spice, a splash of tobasco sauce (you can add more or less depending on your heat tolerance!) and chopped parsley and spinach with salt and pepper to taste!<br /><br />After covering the chicken in all of the above sauce, place on a grill pan in the oven (or just the grill if you prefer!) and then serve!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As I mentioned above, I can't stand Tomato Ketchup (I understand that it probably makes me weird, but oh well...) - but I couldn't taste, which I'm sure my mum was thinking and will probably say "told you so!" at somepoint, but its so nice! <br /><br />It's probably the cheaper and healthier version of a nandos chicken, I bet most of you have most of them ingredients for the sauce already in your cupboard! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If not, I looked up the prices from major supermarket asda for you!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That adds up to a total of £10.70! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With the amount of content in the ingredients you probably have more than enough to make more than one meal! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Evening all!<br /><br /><br />It's all good trying to lose weight and seeing results, but what happens when you have an off day? Or a stressful day for that matter?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Everyone has off days, especially when it comes to dieting and weightloss, a cheat meal might of turned into a cheat day (It happens to everyone!) - You might of had a stressful day at work or you might just be feeling a little bit down, the best way to get rid of any sort of stress or bad feeling is to relax.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know it's easier said than done, take it from me who has been through multiple stressful situations, and sometimes all at once!<br /><br />It doesn't hurt to try though and here's a few suggestions to help you relax! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHrLPiCK6HQyXAWyntaF7DTWn1amxEwAVWCnlwhjpm7Vv6t7HdWYn6gY26mN8fDUQ3n4LWA0WR1Uy_rBXtr-4ca7d7_u31ToT2bXu4RpsjkYNC4Mcz06C5fF8s15rM2X92GpK1qvn4b2V_/s1600/Relax-BathBomb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHrLPiCK6HQyXAWyntaF7DTWn1amxEwAVWCnlwhjpm7Vv6t7HdWYn6gY26mN8fDUQ3n4LWA0WR1Uy_rBXtr-4ca7d7_u31ToT2bXu4RpsjkYNC4Mcz06C5fF8s15rM2X92GpK1qvn4b2V_/s400/Relax-BathBomb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> First solution - A bath, even better if accompanied with a bathbomb.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A bath not only cleans you physically, but it can clean your mind mentally!<br />You can even put out a few candles (the smellier the candle, the better!), put on some relaxing music (or deep house... if that relaxes you?) you can contemplate life as much as you want, but a nice bath can relax your body, and just put you in a better frame of mind!<br />It's even better if right before bed, I find that a bath before bed often helps me get to sleep quicker! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8vjtOB647ngqQcICcf0-S-w46wmPFjQY39tPQ_qoJEZs30Ha5tz4zusw6IzX0xaKoXJAataxpRDE1WKv-J8LogYGApkS9NiSpWAdpsKlzKEVBIKowkfIEsMUb6Il5jpKqtfPLCnkrEaCN/s1600/Relax-Rum%252BCoke.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8vjtOB647ngqQcICcf0-S-w46wmPFjQY39tPQ_qoJEZs30Ha5tz4zusw6IzX0xaKoXJAataxpRDE1WKv-J8LogYGApkS9NiSpWAdpsKlzKEVBIKowkfIEsMUb6Il5jpKqtfPLCnkrEaCN/s320/Relax-Rum%252BCoke.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> A drink.<br /><br />In moderation! Of course if you're feeling a bit down in the dumps, getting drunk probably isn't the best idea - as you could do or say something regret...<br />Anyway...<br />A drink (or two!) can help to relax and calm the nerves and just make you chill out a bit!<br /> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwsYzrjWMwr5clIKk_7_MJHpzhmncfuQ905Gl3wCiG84tPWMJdXmAsPlY3KJ9DJRX1_7LFBnNTbc63ZSezoiEH6R-dlHnE7T0UvRntTrDrS2bLCrjGYvjFBj-rIoM1j7MC10SGnIJZpEx9/s1600/Dear+Diary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwsYzrjWMwr5clIKk_7_MJHpzhmncfuQ905Gl3wCiG84tPWMJdXmAsPlY3KJ9DJRX1_7LFBnNTbc63ZSezoiEH6R-dlHnE7T0UvRntTrDrS2bLCrjGYvjFBj-rIoM1j7MC10SGnIJZpEx9/s320/Dear+Diary.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Writing it down...<br />Writing down your thoughts and feelings whether it be negative or positive is good for the mind, you can release any anxiety or troubles and it feels like someone is almost listening to you, and it's a good way to get any bad energy especially off your chest!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Go for a walk...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A nice walk with the right music in your ears can lift your mood and soak in the views, these are round near me, I really ought to take more of advantage of them! but whether it be for 15 minutes or an hour, it can really clean your mind and give you some thinking space!<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMvIKtoRoXt7FE-QqMiwl-Kwu0BuDjiXH5I0MnOzTn5qpchuHefI_5AIi8Hahs82L_SW5-yob-_CFslNvygAcKKeIZQfkgvLk56AERFpZMPhv2Pc0wnKoSXnTcGwlwU-pizpRO0tLICaOS/s1600/Film.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMvIKtoRoXt7FE-QqMiwl-Kwu0BuDjiXH5I0MnOzTn5qpchuHefI_5AIi8Hahs82L_SW5-yob-_CFslNvygAcKKeIZQfkgvLk56AERFpZMPhv2Pc0wnKoSXnTcGwlwU-pizpRO0tLICaOS/s640/Film.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Films.<br /><br />A great film can chill you out! I wouldn't really recommend the slasher/horror types (unless that relax's you? I'm not judging haha!) having said that, if you're going through something like a break up or boy/girl issues, I wouldn't suggest a romantic comedy or anything a bit mushy, in a time where relaxation is in need or you need cheering up, I suggest a good old comedy film to give you a good laugh!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Finally...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUmL5BoqBypOgkG0Kj2L5hn4BG4KbrnnJH2OyZaP5QoLfi1hfRAC9m8l5GzwoEQ5uxkJXaB3XO3Mb3ZFJLTP01IPAVDDViEhakOTAT4JeaC2FCgqyoCocLgNxwgSb7a8GYEOaHpMVNR0Jr/s1600/music.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUmL5BoqBypOgkG0Kj2L5hn4BG4KbrnnJH2OyZaP5QoLfi1hfRAC9m8l5GzwoEQ5uxkJXaB3XO3Mb3ZFJLTP01IPAVDDViEhakOTAT4JeaC2FCgqyoCocLgNxwgSb7a8GYEOaHpMVNR0Jr/s640/music.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Music...<br /><br />It goes hand in hand with a lot of the relaxation techniques that I've mentioned but even just music on its own is just a great way of relaxing - Spotify is a great tool for this, as in the 'Browse' there's a lot of playlists done by the spotify team for any mood, occasion or situation! Use it to your advantage!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'd love to hear some of the ways you relax!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Afternoon all!<br /><br /><br />Today's post is all about choosing the perfect playlist for your workout!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've always gone with more upbeat tunes, something that you can sync with, but of course it may or may not depend on what sort of your exercise you're doing.<br /><br />Whether it be weights, HIIT or Cardio, without the right music, going to the gym on your own might feel a bit like this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8XxCY2aSSVJYPrLXIx3RBX8TGXchclrU1hzgfaIjYnfvkWc5OUGVWi51nmIir2xRzm19MMpRJB0gyCSmXTOTqgzrAuPNpmzF9oZYpI3beHcCtMDotrR27TSpDq75dNDhh-L83ypZRkUNq/s1600/potatoexercise.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8XxCY2aSSVJYPrLXIx3RBX8TGXchclrU1hzgfaIjYnfvkWc5OUGVWi51nmIir2xRzm19MMpRJB0gyCSmXTOTqgzrAuPNpmzF9oZYpI3beHcCtMDotrR27TSpDq75dNDhh-L83ypZRkUNq/s320/potatoexercise.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been there, it's important to have the right music, the right music can give you that pumped up feeling and might even help you to push you to your best! <br /><br />I'm putting together a selection of songs that could (hopefully!) work for most types of workouts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Like I said, I'm always a fan of some upbeat music to keep me going, as when you're you're on your own, it can be hard to stay or keep motivated, so enjoy! These songs will also be available on a playlist on spotify for you to enjoy, link at the bottom of the post!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A belated happy new year to you all!<br />For my first post of 2016 (woo!) I'm going to talk about a different method of exercise which most of you probably haven't even considered!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A lot of us have (or have not...) made the resolution to get healthier, exercise, go to the gym etc. good on you!<br /><br />But for some people it's not always possible, due to work, finances or just don't find the time.<br />Fear not! I had a brainwave yesterday which could be both affordable (and maybe even free!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Many of you probably (possibly) have a nintendo wii somewhere collecting dust, get it out, dust it down and get it set up! No doubt some of you reading this will have a copy of Just Dance, whichever the expansion! <br />From Just Dance 2 I believe, there is an additional feature on the game called 'Sweat Workout'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Which I think it pretty self explanatory!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is all you need:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Comfy clothing, sweats, jogging bottoms, something you can move around in!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>A decent amount of space (your living room will probably be adequate!)</b><br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>A nintendo wii</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Water. It goes without saying, you will get tired and it's important to stay hydrated!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Easy enough right? - Well we'll get started.<br />I was using Just Dance 3 last night, and on the main menu you get a screen like this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyvm5g45XhQZI1p22p3ISyZx35_QYBLJKw38ALdNBs2snHWrB2aWxYN0_BZeIuPvLsQ7kkDTWGTD04mW600TvjngWi0TWBHEX3dTDd_qzvxPBIZAUuQ7_zx-gXpTHgKl5Fp-A4DpxrNCk/s1600/IMG_2913.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyvm5g45XhQZI1p22p3ISyZx35_QYBLJKw38ALdNBs2snHWrB2aWxYN0_BZeIuPvLsQ7kkDTWGTD04mW600TvjngWi0TWBHEX3dTDd_qzvxPBIZAUuQ7_zx-gXpTHgKl5Fp-A4DpxrNCk/s320/IMG_2913.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To the right is an option called 'Just Sweat' - it is exactly the same as the normal dancing game, except you get the added sweat points, apparently 1000 sweat points is the equivalent of walking all around central park... who knew?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Choose your song (plenty of variety I'm sure!) - I believe Just Dance 2 gives you the option of how many songs you want to do, I must of done at least 10, maybe more (I'm not kidding!).<br />Everytime you move you get sweatpants, the more you move, the more sweatpoints you get!<br />It's that simple and I think it's a bit more fun than your average work out!</span></div>

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm not in any shape or form a dancer, My co-ordination and balance isn't great and I might as well have 2 left feet! but to say I hadn't done it in a while, I didn't think 3 stars was too bad.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi all!<br /><br />Today's blog is an explanation and a bit of motivation (for me, haha!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I started this blog as a motivational tool to help me lose weight (which I am still trying and have every intention to continue!).<br /><br />However, what started off as a weightloss and fitness blog as well as a bit of lifestyle, has become 100% lifestyle somewhat which of course wasn't the intention.<br /><br />I fully intend for it to go back to mainly fitness and weightloss, in the past previous months I've had a bit of writers blo<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">c<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">k</span></span> and just have no idea what to write about in those subjects! I'm still brainstorming and trying to tie it in with everyday life and also trying to plan what to do with my exercise plan and diet to tie it in with my blog.<br /><br />So I have a number of things I want to do:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>A) </b>Start a Vlog on youtube alongside "Shift My Booty".<br /><b>B)</b> Do more exciting things in fitness and lifestyle to continue!<br /><b>C)</b> Possible rebrand, I love 'Shift My Booty' however, I'm putting a poll out on twitter within the next 24 hours to help me decide whether a futrue rebrand is appropriate! vote <a href="https://twitter.com/hayley_grice/status/676057518947352576">here</a>.<br /><b>D)</b> 2016 will be my year, I want to make a real difference to my figure and my health, I have so much support from my family and friends, including my blogger friends! I hope this time next year to be in a position where i'm near enough to my weight goals!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>E)</b> I really want to go away for a few days on a sports/fitness mini break (think Centre Parcs or something along them lines!) where I'm constantly active and have something to do! watch this space!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the track of
motivation, I've purchased these fab prints from Coconut Lane, a fab
little company (check out their website <a href="http://www.coconut-lane.com/">here</a>) to give me motivation when
I'm feeling down or a little bit deflated!</span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A print to remind me no matter what I'm doing or where I am, to keep my head held high and be myself!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Evening all!<br /><br />It's Day 6 of Blogmas and today's post is all about the Manchester Christmas Markets!<br /><br />This
week during a short trip to Manchester, I thought I may as well take a
short trip and have a look around, since I've not been before and it was
lovely!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I went with
friends Ben and Lois that I know from school and it was very much the
traditional German markets with beer, traditional German food and little
trinket stalls with things from Fairy Lights to Garden Shears!</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As it got darker though the atmosphere really set in, the main area is at Manchester Town Hall, there's a lot of similar stalls but a lot of unique and individual stalls, one of which was selling "Toffee Vodka"! - Which I'd never heard of before.<br />There was also a pop up bar in the Town Hall Square and plenty of different bits and bobs to offer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You'll know if you're in the right place or not, this guy is sat on the top of the entrance of Manchester town hall, you can't miss him!<br /><br />The decorations were simple and cute and the atmosphere and people definitely added to it! I didn't actually purchase anything as I've already done my christmas shopping and didn't see anything I really needed, but if you're stuck for inspiration, the markets offer a good variety of fun and almost wacky present ideas that could work for some presents!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />What was also great was the variety of German food stalls all with their own take on German classics:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This was a plain Bratwurst (sorry if I mispelt that ha! My German isn't that great) and it's under a fiver, which is a bonus! - You could get spicier versions too but since I'm not great with spice and I didn't know what to expect, I went for the safe and probably sensible standard option for my first one.<br /><br />Plenty of sweet treat stalls with sweets, fudge and even satisfying your mulled wine and christmas pudding cravings!<br /><br />I'd highly recommend the Manchester Christmas Markets for a lovely couple of hours!<br />I'm looking forward to maybe looking at some other locations in the coming years, I'd love to see the Lincoln christmas market and others!<br /><br />That's all for day 6, Until then,</span></div>
