Healthy Lifestyle

March Challenges!

Here are my challenges for myself and anyone else who wants to join in for March.

Healthy Eating

Stop adding salt to food (I have gotten better at this but still do on occasion.)
Drink 8 glasses of water per day.
Cut down on fat and carb intake (my fitness pal.)

Exercise

Join the sports centre I work at and attend weekly spin classes.
Swim at least once a week to regain fitness ready for uni.
Go to the gym more often and start some weight training as well as cardio.

Goals

Lose 5 pounds.
Lose an inch off waist and hips.
Body Fat < 20%.

Feel free to suggest me things and add your own. Who’s with me?

Just been to sainsburys and realised what I eat is as follows:

Fruit
Veg
Fake meat
Some meat
Pasta
Sauces
Tins of soup/beans
Packet pasta
Juice

Interesting! But it is all healthy :) although I have an annoying habit of checking the calories and fat and such on all varieties of food before choosing.

Tried Alpen bars for the first time and discovered I really quite like them (strawberry and yoghurt and summer fruits ones) so I’d recommend giving them a try. The latter only have 70 calories a bar!

Hope everyone is doing well, I’ll be back on here a lot more now!

Have a hideous quality picture of me. I dyed my hair last night. Naturally I am dark blonde/light brown, but recently I’ve had a few brown/reds in that have faded. They cost about 70 quid done professionally and lasted 2 weeks max then went ginger, this was a fiver self done and hasn’t washed out AT ALL yet :)

Naked Challenge Time!

I am one of those really really self-conscious people, like many. I NEVER take pictures of myself in underwear/bikinis etc and haven’t done so on this or any other blog. I have huge self image problems and rarely take pictures of even my face anymore. But I have a proposition for myself and others like me:

I have set myself a goal for the day I finish my last exam for the summer. This includes measurements, body fat percentages, weight etc. If I reach this, I will post a picture of myself in a bikini. Who’s with me?

(Last exam is June 21st!)

Made my healthy wraps again for dinner - chicken sauce and lots of fruit/veggies in a wholemeal wrap! Very tasty :)
