Haul: Burn Baby, Burn!

7 Jul

It’s not a secret that I have been trying to loose a LOT of weight this year.  I have been trying out different exercise from doing extra walking, Zumba and then my newest addition is swimming.

I have decided that I really would like to also give a go to running. When I was younger I would rather do anything other than running but I feel I should give it a go.

My friend Alex mentioned a good plan that would build me up to running slowly but surely. The Couch-2-5k is based around the idea that you will gradually build up running and not just go straight into it full force.

I figured it would do me no harm to do it. Each week when I have been losing weight I have been exercising within that week and have no idea which form of exercise is burning off more calories.

My guess is that Zumba is up there at the top, but I wanted a way to find out. Enter my new toy:

This is my new baby. It’s the SportLine 555 and allows me to track calories, my heart rate etc. It’s also water resistant and has a stop watch and countdown timer on it. Multi-functional I have to say :) .
I am looking forward to figuring out how many calories each of my exercise will be burning and I think it would be a really good way of me tracking how much I’m burning per week.

I know how many calories I am taking in, just not how many I’m burning off. Now I will which is fabulous. At least I think so ;)

FOTD: The Start Of a New Week

4 Jul

So here we have another Face Of The Day. Today I went with a more pink toned eye make-up look. The shadow I used was primarily ‘paradisco’ by MAC.

I love this colour as it looks really bright but it’s a really nice coral/peach with gold undertones. Absolutely LOVE it! Now, onto some posey pictures ;)

Now on to the make-up…

L-R: Sleek Contour Kit; Light, Maybelline One by One Mascara, MAC eyeshadows paradisco (top left) and vapour (bottom left), Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up; Beige Chiffon

MAC Blush; Well Dressed, MAC MSF Natural, Medium and MAC Lipstick; Angel

Lets make another change..

2 Jul

Here I am again..  making a slight change to the schedule I have here and YouTube.

The reasons? Being so damn busy, staring a new job and wanting to incorporate more exercise into my week (without overloading) are the main ones, really.

I will say that I love my blog and my YouTube channel and I won’t be stopping either of them!

So, here is my new schedule…

  Monday: FOTD/OOTD/NOTD (no change here really)

Thursday: Miscellaneous Beauty Post (review, haul, ramble, loves, hates etc)

Any other posts I want to make in between, I will :)

I am also going to bring some fitness/food/diet related posts into my blog too.

I’ve not quite figured out how yet but I do enjoy talking and writing about my weight loss and give my opinion and advice to others that are trying to lose weight.

I have to say that I am lucky enough to have some amazing people in my life supporting me along my journey so I am really lucky.

And more importantly,  I am extremely proud of how far I’ve come so far and I will be continuing on until I reach my goal! :)

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!
