Update!: Hair, weight loss, movies, summer etc

Apologies for being away for a while! Started a new job in a cafe which is great but sometimes I feel too tired to do much else haha anyway here's what's been going on with me!


I have my natural hair out:

By natural I mean my real hair not my real texture (It's relaxed) if that makes sense, had weave in for quite a while so fancied a break! May switch it up before my birthday.

I'm trying to lose a bit of weight/tone up before my birthday:

Currently on day 4 and will keep you posted! I created a calender for this month so I can check what I've been eating and tick off the days I've worked out etc. I'm making sure I go to the gym at least 5 x a week and will try and eat healthy as often as I can (Chocolate has been my weaaaakness lately, goodness lol). My goal is to firm up my arms, trim down my tummy and thighs and hopefully reveal some cheek bone haha.

Example of a typical dinner: Prawn, Bacon & Chickpea salad with some low fat chocolate mousse for dessert...yum! Surprisingly filling

Summer update:

Can you believe how fast this Summer has gone!?! I've been staying in Canterbury as I am working here now..woohoo! I miss my family like you wouldn't believe and was gutted to miss my brothers graduation of his Masters (congratulationssss!:D) but besides that I've had a good time here! My bf and close group of friends at uni are still here and we've done things like gone to play snooker, darts, went to the zoo, cinema, out for dinner..its been fun!

Chocolat:

Can't believe how late I am a discovering the film Chocolat with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche it's an amazing film about a chocolatier and her daughter and how they try and settle into a small French town. Johnny Depp plays "Roux" and looks FANTASTIC lol! It's a great film, a new favourite.

Sooo enough about me...how are you?:)

God Bless

Diary of an on & off healthy living fan

DISCLAIMER: Before you read please know I do not claim to be a fitness guru, gym bunny because I'm so far from that. Pinch my arms & feel the play dough texture......you catch my drift haha! Just someone who enjoys a bit of health once in a while :D ....you may continue....

The reason I call myself an on & off healthy living fan is because I am one of those people who will be dedicated to going to the gym & eating right then for some reason the motivation slowwwwlyyyy decreases lol during this time I'm still aware of how I want to change & the bits I want to tweak but I'm not as dedicated then something will happen and I'm back on a gym hype lol! It's a sad cycle & causes my weight to be more up & down than Tower Bridge!

(Warning picture heavy post lol)

Fact File

Name: Naomi Angus (Nay)
Current weight: 10 stone 2 pounds
Goal weight: Some where in the early 9 stone region
Highest weight: Around 11/12 stone
Favourite work out: Zumba, jumping squats, running machine & using the elliptical
Favourite tips picked up: 

• Muscle weighs more than fat so if the scales aren't decreasing or are even increasing and your eating right & working out it could mean your gaining muscle! (This is why it's better to measure yourself than use scales)
• When you feel hunger pangs have a glass of water because it could mean your thirsty not always hungry.
• Weights & machines in the gym are good to help you lose weight! They won't always bulk you up! Just have to get past the scary men grunting & posing in the mirrors O_O 
• Broccoli is an amazing snack
• You can work out at home with results! Youtube videos have been my best friend in the past lol
• Choose healthier options! Green tea instead of a Cappucino at cafe's or a wrap instead of burgers when eating out (however I do not always stick to this loool)

The Bible says "You were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body" 1 Corinth 6: 20 and I believe that to do this you will need to be healthy & not gluttonous so that's what I'm trying to do :D

Here's a few snaps of me bigger*deep breath* lol...

 Here's a few snaps of me at my slimmest:

A few of me curvier:

And me as I stand today:

Drinking water is great for slimming but it's something I don't do enough, I also love to drink Green Tea, it's so yummy and is really good for you! I bought 'Adios' Diet pills once but I only managed to take two then my boyfriend at the time hid them from me LOL I am grateful that he did! Diet pills are something I do not recommend at all! They give you short term results and you gain more weight afterwards with added side effects.

Websites like Tumblr & Blogspot are great for inspiration (but watch out for unhealthy pro-anorexia sites!) you can follow like minded people & read their posts plus see inspiration pictures like these!

I love this pic because I would be bummed when I only lost a pound but imagine that coming off your stomach! :O ^

Skipping is a great form of exercise as a jump rope is portable so you can work out just about anywhere! It works your entire body especially arms & legs so is great!

Here is my favourite skipping work out:

Sorry this post has so many pictures lol!
Hopefully one day I'll be coming back at you with pics of a six pack haha! 

Got any fitness tips? Share them below :D
