Weight Update

Hey!

Check out my last weight blog post for some reference- LINK

Just a quick update, I've lost about half a stone since Christmas! I don't own scales at home or at university, which I think is for the best as I'd probably constantly weigh myself. This means I judge myself on how I look and feel, which is the most healthy and fair way to do it, in my opinion. We are all different shapes and builds so if you feel that you look good, what does it matter what the scales say? I understand that when health comes into it you do have to take notice of weight to some degree, but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to get across.

So when I went for a check up at the doctors and she happily informed me of the weight loss, I was quite chuffed to say the least! Unfortunately I don't know how I did it! I eat relatively well at university, but I often treat myself to chocolate and crisps. I also haven't been exercising (the running lasted for about a week!). I can't say what I've changed to warrant such a large weight loss but if I work it out I'll be sure to let you know!

I'm now back at home and last summer was where I gained the most weight so just maintaining this weight will be enough for me!

Tell me if you like these posts? This one was not very insightful! Any post requests?

Weight Worries and Ponders

I've been catching up on series two of Embarrassing Fat Bodies and have been shocked at the extreme cases on there!

It made me think about my own weight. Now, I'm not overweight but over the summer I put on around half a stone. Since then (and coming to university) I've put on no more weight but neither have I lost any. 

One of my flat mates has recently decided that she is going to cook all her meals from scratch. Meanwhile I found myself eating Nutella straight out the jar (not the healthiest of habits!).

Despite it not risking my health, I'd like to shift it. I've always been slim and would like to keep it that way!

On my decision of this, I decided to buy a blender..because smoothies are healthy and yummy right? The blender, on first use, decided to spark at me and is under my bed awaiting its return to Sainsbury's. Blender 1, Alex 0.

My attempt at exercise is going to my uni's Netball club once a week but I've realised this is no where near enough. Hence I am going to start running with a flatmate. This is a big achievement to me seeing as I hate running for more than about 10 seconds so I'll keep you updated on that.

Also healthy eating is going to become a priority. I watch, and follow, Grace (aka Ugly Face of Beauty) on YouTube and Twitter and she has recently started healthy eating. She post pictures and talks about it, which not only helps me but has inspired me to be more conscious about what I'm eating. Right as soon as this Nutella jar is finished....

I'd love to know any healthy eating, exercise tips or people's experiences!
