Hello :)

Hi guys :)

I've decided to write this blog to monitor my progress from fat to fit over the next few months.

Let me give you some idea as to why I've decided why today is the day:

My whole teenage/early adult life I've been more on the overweight side than the average girl. I'm 21, 22 in two days and I've always wanted to become fit, slim and healthy but lacked the motivation to do anything about it.

Now, two days before Christmas, my boyfriend of two and a half years proposed to me which kicked my flabby butt into action. I began cutting calories here and there thinking eventually the weight would fall off steadily. Needless to say it didn't. 

Last week I started revamping my eating habits and took up jogging. I started a full time job where I'm on my feet all day so I've taken to preparing my own packed lunches which gives me much more control over what I eat.

I don't weigh myself, instead going by how my clothes look and feel. However I estimate that I weigh just over 13 stone. At a height of 5"6, and a dress size 14/16, I've decided that I would like to lose about 3 stone, and get down to a size 10/12 by my wedding day on 22nd September!

Three days later we will also be jetting off on our Jamaican honeymoon so I need to focus on toning as well as weight loss.

My daily routine will be simple: wake up, go for a jog, drink a superfood smoothie, go to work, have a healthy lunch during the day, come home, go to Zumba/Pilates/Yoga or a second jog, have a healthy dinner and chill. 

Also before bed, I take three supplements: sea kelp, zinc and folic acid. All three of these are primarily to help my hair grow strong, but the high levels of iodine in the sea kelp help with weight management.

In this blog, I will be tracking my progress monthly with photos and updates. I will also be sharing recipes and even a little insight into my daily exercises and diet.

Hope you enjoy reading and following me on my journey :)
