New me

So it’s a new year and I have decided that I’m sick of looking the way I do, so I’m going to make an effort to do something about it and actually start to like the way I look again. People are always saying it’s okay you’ve just had a baby – but that was 6 months ago now. So it’s time to start losing that baby weight. I’ve set myself a target and I really, really want to achieve it. Hope you will all help to keep me motivated!

I started today with a food shop, my fridge has never looked so healthy. I’ve got a plan of meals we will eat every day and some of it sounds so yummy. I’m actually excited about eating it. Makes a change usually they tell you to live on cardboard and rabbit food.  Dusting the Wii fit off was another one of my missions – I pulled it out this morning and managed 40 minutes before Joshua demanded me. The last five minutes I actually did while carrying him.

I’ve found a new love to ... body shop. Someone is doing a wonderful job at converting me. Yes you know who you are! I’ve invested in some of there eye liner and lengthening mascara. I just tried it out and I have to say it’s amazing. It really does lengthen your lashes.  This is what the website says about it :  A long lasting conditioning formula with an innovative curving brush to separate, define and seriously stretch every single lash.

I love how helpful and friendly they are in the stores too... they don’t pester you when you go in like some shops, but they are on hand to help you out. I saw they do a free make up consultation and I was very tempted to sign up. Learn a bit more about what makeup I should use and how to apply it. I don’t wear very much but it really does make me feel better when I have a bit on. Even if that is just mascara and eye liner.  I guess learning and wearing more makeup could be part of the new me to. Looking good and feeling good has got to be the way to go!

Anyway I got a nice surprise when Ant came home from work. So I’m going to leave it at that for today and go watch some tele with him. Will blog again soon

  1. Oh that sounds pretty lovely actually and I'll keep you mitvated! A kicks in the bum every now and then should do the trick, right? ;) :p James got the Wii Fit as well, I once did one exercise and was SO knackered already! So I kinda admire you for managing the whole 40mins! :o Or maybe I'm just weak! :p

  4. Ah new look and attitude for the New Year is good Lu. We all need to think positive. I've started going back to the gym again after about 2 months not going due to being sick to often. I'm blaming it to the temperature at work not being right. To cold of where I sit. Last time I was sick that often was in 2009 in the beginning of the year. :S

    Keep up what you are doing Lu and I'm positive you will meet that target. xoxo

  5. Can't believe you did it with Joshua on your arm. Even if it was only for 5 minutes. :D Go you, like Evi said, we will kick your ass from time to time to get you motivated.
