At first I thought it was really silly to sit in a room by yourself and talk to the camera, but after a couple of tries I became more confident, and now I can even see my personality is starting to emerge as well:) I'm very new to the whole thing so please be nice:)
Today I wanted to write about weight loss and beauty. After my daughter was born I always had an excuse to be plump as 'I only just gave birth'! I never got out of my leggings as they are more forgiving than jeans! Also my husband didn't help as he always told me how much he loves me and paid me compliments. I know he just didn't want to put me down and I do appreciate it. But after my daughter's second birthday not only I had to 'slim' myself down in all the pictures, because I couldn't stand the sight of my chubby face, we also started to introduce her to the idea of maybe some time in the future having a sibling, to which she touched my tummy and said 'baby brother baby sister in mummy's belly'. I think that was my wake up call. If my 2 year old thinks I'm pregnant what do other people think?!
And it's not like I care about what anyone else thinks of me, but I do want to look good for my husband, I do want to look and feel good for myself and I do want to be a healthy mum to my daughter and hopefully to my future child.
So 5 weeks ago I was dragged to a Slimming World meeting by my friend Claire. We have joined SW once before, but I never got my head around it and the group wasn't what I was looking for.
I knew that this time round I will do it, I liked the group straight away, the lady that runs it looks amazing, she is a true inspiration! The people are very nice and they have an amazing track record of achievements! I also think that going to meetings regularly helps with the motivation, especially if you are a very competitive person like me;))
I am 6 weeks in and going for a weight in on Wednesday keeping my fingers crossed that I have achieved my 1 stone award! So far I have lost 12lbs and this week I can cross 1/3rd of my weight loss journey off! I am aiming to loose 3 stone. So please keep your fingers crossed!:D
I don't really see any changes in my body (I suppose the weight loss is not that significant and I see myself every day so it is harder for me to notice it) but a few nice things have happened since I started. My coat fits better, I am less tired ever day and try to go out almost every day for 30 min at least, and also the dress I bought not that long ago that never fit me, was perfect for our valentine's dinner! I am happy with my regular weight loss, and loosing 2lbs a week is much healthier than any crush diets etc. I still have a long way to go, but at least I made a start and I am sticking to my NY resolution:D
Anyways, enough talking about chubby me:D As you may already know I love all things beauty and nails related so here is some pictures of my recent nails and new nail varnishes I got in the past few weeks:) All nail varnishes pictured here are also featured on my haul video on you tube:D
These are all different nail polish brands that I got from left to right : Barry M in Lychee and Greenberry, Revlon Pink Chiffon, N7 limited edition Tip Toes, Sally Hansen, Barry M silver glitter and pink glitter and Essie in Bahama Mama.
Hopefully you enjoyed this post and see you soon for more:D
