The Lo Down - Weightloss Update #6

Hey Guys and Dolls,

For me this week totally flew by I was so busy, I had a lot of stuff to do so I didn't really have a minute to chill out at all. I had such an amazing week I got my eyelash extensions, went to a Yves Saint Laurent event but probably the highlight of my week was going to the Kong Skull Island Premiere with my Dad on Monday night in Town. It was awesome,everyone should go see it.

We went into town early and went for food so it was a lovely day as we're usually both so busy we don't get the time to go out. Of course after going out for food on Monday I was a bit nervous about how my weightloss was going to go this week but I needn't have worried as this week I lost a further 2 pound which brings me total weightloss to 1 stone 8 pounds to date. I'm seriously happy right now when I started my weightloss journey six weeks ago I never thought I'd get on this well.

It just takes pure willpower and detemination after all and I truly believe anyone can do it if they put their mind to it and make a couple of health changes. I'm bringing my fitness game at the moment, I already do aqua aerobics a couple of times a week but I'm starting Boxercise aswell on Thhursday and I can't wait I'm soo excited. I did a boxercise class at the Pure Results Bootcamp last weekend, it was intense but really good fun and I'm definitely recommend it To anyone who is trying to get fit.

So that's my weightloss update for this week, I'll check in again next week.

The Lo Down - My Weight Journey #2

Hey Guys and Dolls, 

I'm into week 2 of my weightloss journey, I'm down another 5 pounds and I couldn't be happier. I've lost 13 and a half pounds in total which is huge just a half a pound off a stone. I can't visibly notice a difference yet but I feel healthier. My Mom bought me some new clothes from Simply Be during the week for my birthday and If I do say so myself the look amazing on. It was so hard to decide what dress to wear for my birthday dinner last night as two of them are so nice.

My eating habits have no changed drastically. I'm just making healthier choices that are easy to make. I'm eating less foods, like fizzy drinks, cheese and sweet things. I'm drinking a hell of alot of water lately. So this week went pretty good and went by so quick. I went swimming on Monday, had a meeting on Tuesday and then I had a hospital appointment on Wednesday, I also can't forget my birthday dinner last night so it was a busy week all round.

Next week is going to be tough as it's my birthday, the big 27 and I'm so excited. I'm sure plenty of drinks will be had so I hope it doesn't affect my weightloss too much. I'm aiming to lose another 2 pounds next week to get over the stone which I will be over the moon about. It's alot to achieve in three weeks and I couldn't be happier with how I'm doing so far, I'm making great progress.

A bit of an Update!

Sorry guys for the lack of blog posts over the last while. I've had to deal with a lot of stuff so I thought it would be best to leave blogging for a while. Don't get me wrong I still absolutely love blogging even more so now than when I started blogging over five years ago. I love my little part of the internet where I can post all my ramblings about life and beauty products that I love. Over the past while its been hard to do so though and for that I'll have to explain.

 

First of the reason I've been MIA from blogging for the past while is because of ill mental health. I find this point pretty hard to share with you guys as I had such a hard time with it. Over two years ago I was in a relationship with my long term boyfriend at the time Paddy who was often included in some blog posts on here. We were quite happy and going into our 6th year of dating. Out of the blue I became unwell which was very hard for both of us to deal with at the time. Just imagine one day being on cloud nine and then falling off that cloud and hitting rock bottom. It came too hard for both of us to handle and we called it quits on our relationship. I was so unhappy because I hated being on my own and after spending so much time with the one person for over five years I found it pretty difficult and it was definitely one of the hardest periods of my life. There's no hard feelings between us and we definitely both thought at the time that it was for the best. I went through a hell of a rough time negative thoughts can definitely get the better of you that's for sure but after almost two years of focusing on myself I'm better which I'm so happy to tell you guys.

 

Fast forward two years and I'm beyond happy. I have a new boyfriend who I met on popular dating app Tinder. We went for a few drinks on our first date and we definitely hit it off that was almost two months ago and we've been seeing each other ever since really. We get on really well and just click. I feel like I can tell him anything and we definitely have a good time together when were out and about. We went to see a Dublin Gaelic match for one of our first dates and I had never been to one before and we definitely enjoyed ourselves, Dublin won aswell so that was all good. I couldn't be happier right now to be honest. We've already planned to go on holidays together in September so I'll definitely put up a post about that.

 

Lastly I'm buying a rather expensive diary as I'm starting my weight loss journey again. I lost a lot of weight in the past so I want to jump back on the horse and try again. The diary I'm buying in question is a beautiful gold polka Kate Spade one so I'm definitely going to try to do updates every week if I can.

 

That's pretty much all my news for now how have you guys been over the last few months.
