Health and Fitness Ramble - 2016

Hi guys, it´s been a while since I´ve done a health and fitness post on here and what a better time to write one in January. If you´re anything like me you would have consumed way too much food, wine and Bailey´s throughout December and are probably feeling a little bit guilty right now. However, I decided at the beginning of winter that I would be quite vigilant with how much I do consume through the festive period. It can be so difficult to lose weight and so easy to put it all back on. 

Throughout 2015 I lost around a stone and managed to keep it off, it hasn´t been an easy process at all, but I feel so much better because of it. At the start of the year I was quite strict about my eating habits, being extra careful with portion sizes and only trying to put good things in my body, it took a lot of control and consistency. Towards the end of the year I have been a little bit more relaxed about my diet, I have however gained 1/2 pounds since the summer but I´m okay with that and will probably try to eat a little cleaner throughout 2016. 

My weight went from 9 stone 6 to now being a healthy 8 stone 8. I am 5"6 for those wondering. 

I was never overweight but I was unhealthy and very unhappy with my body. I am hoping for good things in the new year and will hopefully be doing one of these posts every month as well as sharing any recipes, apps, work outs etc. with you all.

Please let me know if there is anything you´d like to see, I´d also like to come up with a title for these kind of posts so any suggestions are welcome. 

I'm back!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my Blog!

If you read my lifestyle blog at all you will know that I have been on (a much needed) holiday in Marbella for the past 10 days.

Before my holiday life was a bit hectic, I'd been moving, my sister was involved in a serious incident, work was busy and just a bunch of things were consuming my time and energy and I didn't really have much inspiration inside me to want to blog. 

As much as I tried all of my posts (on both Blogs) were starting to feel forced and I was constantly apologising for not blogging much. 

However, it is a new season and I am returning from holiday with a happy and healthy mind set, I have plenty of blog posts planned and floating around in mg head waiting to be released. I did loads of online shopping whilst away so expect reviews and maybe some Autumn and Winter related posts too! 

I'll also be getting back into the gym on Monday so maybe a few fitness updates here and there. 

In the mean time, stick around, follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Pintrest for updates and more from me and I'll be back very soon!
