WEEK ONE.

Hi guys!

I did write in January or February about my goals for 2015, and one of them which has been a goal of mine since I was about 15 is to lose weight and tone up, I haven't been doing it because I haven't had the motivation or anything so I have gained over 1 and a half stone, which for me is a horrible thing, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and I dreaded going out at the weekend because of how 'fat' I was.

Anyway, recently a lovely lady added me on facebook, and at first I was a bit taken back as it was for slimming and stuff like that, I read her posts and looked at her before and after pictures and was so inspired I decided to message her, Lisa then went on to explain that its Juice Plus and all the benefits it has for me, so I thought, sod it, I'm going to go for it.

I placed my order and started to make a change to my life style;

For the first week we have to detox, and oh my god was that difficult, I used to eat crap food all day everyday, so to go from that to 3 clean meals a day with fruit was so difficult and I even had temper tantrums at some points, I even had a dream about Pizza, and wanted pizza so much that I went in a mood for the rest of the day. Other than that I got into a routine of getting up at about 8:30/9:00am to have breakfast (fruit/yoghurt) then eat nothing till lunch which would be fruit with maybe a bit of ham from the deli counter at Tesco.

The biggest thing I struggled with throughout the week was cooking dinners, you see all these fad diets and just see plain chicken and rice and I COULD NOT do that, nothing more upsets me than plain food, so I've been asking my Dad to teach me how to cook properly, chicken and tomato sauce made from scratch, or chicken and chickpeas in organic gravey ect ect.

ANYWAY, even though its been a tough week of detoxing and my shakes finally arrived (which I've had to drink with rice milk) I am so happy with what I have lost...

Nearly 8lbs in one week and 1 inch from my hips and half an inch from my waist.

Ive decided Im going to document my journey, either for me to be like a form of diary entry to look back on or to give anyone else motivation. Im feeling happier, and my confidence is through the roof at the moment. And its only been a week!

Walking frees the mind.

Hi guys.

I went for a nice long walk the other day, just to make me feel less shitty and anxious because I'd had a crappy weekend with high levels of stress and anxiety.

It is said walking/exercise helps release any anxiety.

I decided to take my camera with me and take some photos, enjoy!

I understand that this might not be what some people like-'URGH just pictures of tree's' but I enjoy going out and taking photos of something beautiful.

I am doing a different blog post on Monday but you'll have to wait and see for that!

I do recommend going on a nice walk if your feeling a bit low really lifted my spirits!
Until next time

I GOT A NEW CAMERA WOO

Hi Guys,

I got a new camera yesterday the Sony DSC Hx50 I honestly just saw it for a good price and thought sod it, Im really enjoying taking photos at the moment, and even though my phone is good its not the best.

The bottom one is just a funny one I thought I'd add because it makes me chuckle every time.

But I am loving this camera and it is so easy to use, I mean if I can use it anyone can.

I got it for £115.00 which I thought was a good price for a 20.4 Mega Pixel camera and the zoom is amazing.

Until next time

Fast and furious 7

Fast and furious 7 review.

(warning will contain spoilers!!)

hi guys, 

as you all know the 7th part of the fast and furious saga came out last month, I hadn't seen the other 6 prior to seeing this one but I'd promised the other half I would go and see it, so I did and in all honesty it wasn't what I was expecting.

When it initially started I thought 'oh here we go, another boy film full of cars and violence' and to be honest I wasn't wrong, but within 3 minutes or so I was hooked, and even though I hadn't watched the other 6 I could understand what was going on with a bit of prompting from the other half. Even though I do find they sexualise the women in the film and its not so tastefully done I can get over that.

All at the same time it pushes your emotions to breaking point but keeps you on the edge of your seat with how intense it is, even though you thought you knew how it was going to end, you were always surprised with the story line and honestly I don't think it can get better than flying through 2 skyscrapers in a really expensive car but they did it and it gave me the biggest adrenaline rush I have experienced. 

All the actors were phenomenal and played their characters so well, made it watchable and interesting. I didn't cringe at any of the acting and The Rock was MASSIVE, I couldn't get over how big he has got, he was my favourite character even though you see so little of him compared to the others.

Getting onto the sad part, unfortunately as everyone knows Paul Walker died halfway through filming, I feel they did Paul so much justice the way they ended the film by writing him out to become a family man, it was a lovely tribute for who I would assume would've been a lovely man. Respectful also as I heard rumours he was going to be killed off, which I wouldn't have agreed with. The ending did break my heart and I was sobbing like a big girl, even the man who I didn't know sitting next to me asked 'Do you have hay fever or summit'  because I was so emotional. The work with the CGI for the rest of the filming was also very clever and so subtle.

Although I have never watched the fast and furious saga, I have started watching them and thoroughly enjoyed watching the film and starting watching them from the beginning, I do recommend people go see it, or buy the boxset on DVD and wait for the 7th to come out.

I know this is a ramble but I just wanted to write a review type thing.

All in all I would give this film a 8/10.

Until next time.

Do something for you.

Hi guys,

In my years of failing to do things I never had anyone to encourage me, motivate me and make me determined to do what I want to do. It took me some time to realise that I have to do stuff to motivate myself, I shouldn't have to rely on others, I should motivate myself to do the things I want to do.

If you don't push yourself, who will? If you have excuses, it means you don't want to do it. Don't be afraid to push yourself, who knows? I mean I am SO happy with certain aspects of my life because I decided 'I'm not taking this shit anymore, I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I need to do something about it.'

I did, and I'm happy, I'm not 100% but I'm getting there. Don't get me wrong, if you feel you need other people to go 'GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER' do it, but at the end of the day, it comes down to you.

Until next time
