3 Months to hit my goal!

(Note: Pictures not taken by me)
.......well just over 3 months. Now that Christmas is almost done and dusted (Merry Christmas by the way!! :D ) and the New Year is almost upon us I realise how much closer I want to be to my goals, I really want to achieve my fitness goals and be the healthiest I have ever been by March!
 What's happening in March? My uni trip to Malta!...



Now I know its a uni trip and we will have some work to do but it's great to have something to work towards! (Plus there is an indoor and outdoor pool in the hotel and I want to make full use of both whilst looking good! haha)

Now I'm not usually one for making New Years Resolutions as I sometimes relate them to something people never end up finishing and I reaaaaally want to get to my goal and stick to it.....so this will be a kind of "Life Time Resolution" lol


So how am I planning to achieve these goals after failing sooo many times?......


Simple really! Just stepping up my work out routine and including more strength exercises, more squats and more lunges and also by eating better and attempting to limit junk to once a week or less.

I also may take these green tea supplements...



I used to take them around 3 years ago and they gave me so much energy and made my skin so clear! They are not diet pills to be depended upon but can boost your metabolism to help you as you work out and eat right! You can purchase them from Holland & Barrett (Try and buy when they have their famous 1p sale on! Buy one and get another pack for a penny! Bargain!)

I will also be drinking a heck of a lot more water!!....


I want really want to lose about 6/7 pounds then tighten everywhere up lol!
Got any 'New Years' goals?

God Bless

Smoooothieeeeeessssss

This post is going to be about my new found love of......SMOOTHIES!


I'm on a total health kick at the moment....like many times before haha, but this time I'm determined to make it last and to see results! Along with hitting the gym most days of the week I've been putting my blender to good use and making some delicious slushy treats!

My first one was called Very Very Berry (please don't laugh at my *ahem* extremely creative names lool)


Very Very Berry



Ingredients

Hand full of frozen mixed summer berries from Asda (Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
Dollop of Yoghurt (preferably Greek or Plain)
Splash of Milk (preferably Soy but any will do)
Water( if it's too thick)

Put all in blender, push the button and Bleeeenddd!

I find this so fun and love seeing the vibrant colours that form from all the fruit! It's low in calories, high in Vitamins and good stuff and kills the dreaded sweet tooth!

Any one that knows me knows that I'm the first one looking at the dessert menu even before the main meal haha! but these smoothies are so naturally sweet it removes any want for chocolate goodies, resulting in in-taking less calories....result!

Next up we have Mellow Yellow (lol)

Mellow Yellow

Ingredients

1 Banana
1 Orange (peeled and segmented, could probably use Orange Juice but I had none at the time)
Handful or half a cup of Pineapple chunks with juice
Dollop of Yoghurt (preferably Greek or Plain)

Blend & Enjoy! made in a matter of minutes 
YUM! 



You could also substitute the milk and yoghurt for ice and have a lovely frozen slushy treat!

God bless
