Two jabs done and nearly time for walkies!

This little pup has grown into a little monster. 

We're currently trying so hard to train him to wee in the garden, and a very long process it seems to be. I think he understands, but sometimes he just doesn't realise he needs to go until it's done. 

On Friday he had his last jab and doesn't need another one until he has his booster next year. The only thing we have to do now is get him micro-chipped, which will have to wait until the new year. 

On Friday evening we'll be taking him for his first ever walk. I'm so excited. 

I've decided to drive to the park, which is a walk away, walk him, then drive back. I have a funny feeling that if I walk him there, he'll want carrying around the fields.

He still hasn't made friends with the cats. They tend to avoid him and when they don't he barks at them until they run away. I'm hoping as he grows out of his 'terrible toddler' stage, he'll settle down enough for them to finally like each other.

I still love him to bits and I can't wait for him to be big enough to wear his rain coat. Yes, I got him a coat.....

Happy Sunday, my loves!

Sorry I've been a little MIA for the past couple of days. We finally got some sunshine and I felt the need to take a little time out and make the most of it. 

A quick Friday Fitday update, just because I missed it. I only managed to walk seven miles this week due to the fact that my trainers have created rather large holes in the back of my heels. But, my last walk wasn't far off 5 miles, which as you all know, is my daily walk goal so I'm chuffed with that.

The last few days I've spent a lot of time with my girls, lying in the sun, going to the park and lying in the sun. Yep, told you I hadn't really done much this week. Haha. 

The photo of the rainbow above is actually something I saw as I was laying on the grass, the rainbow was right across the sky, in the sky, not like you would normally them. I can only guess that it was raining way up there in the clouds. It was possibly the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while. 

I hope you all have had a great week, how many of you will be tuning in to watch the Spice Girls perform in the closing ceremony of the Olympics tonight?

Now you guys know that normally on a Monday I post a make-up look. Well I didn't want to bore you with yet another make-up less face, so I decided to do another little fitness post. 

On Friday I said that I had neglected walking and I really did feel incredibly guilty, so I've just completed three miles for today and I couldn't be happier about it. 

I'm most definitely missing the few things above though.  My poor four year old trainers just aren't cutting it anymore, as a matter of fact the only thing they are cutting are my heels. 

Headphones wise, I most certainly need an over ear pair, inner ear ones just don't work for me and I end up getting a headache. 

I already have one sports bra but if I'm going to really get into this training thing, then I need to make sure my ladies are supported and I could probably do with another one. 

Now, I know it's probably not a necessity, but I would love to have a water bottle that isn't so hard to hold, especially for an hour straight. Have you ever tried walking, holding onto a plastic shop bought bottle for an hour? It's hard and I always have to swap hands. 

Last thing I could do with is an arm band for my iPod classic. I'm currently stuffing it down my bra as I walk and if I'm honest, it's not very comfy or practical. 

Apart from that, I think I'm pretty set to get back into it and hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be walking a lot more. I'm hoping by the beginning of September I can walk five miles a day without batting an eyelid. I'm only planning on walking five days a week, so that would add up to a nice twenty five miles a week, and a whopping hundred miles a month. Now, I know it's not exactly Olympics worthy, but it would be a bloody great thing for me. Having never been a physical/sporty type, I think it's time I change my ways. 

Have you guys got any walking/running tips for me?

The Big Health Kick Reveal! 

Last week I said that I would reveal my next step into fitness land! 

Yetserday Liam and I started juicing! We recently watched Fat, Sick and Nearly dead and it really inspired us to try it. Unlike the film, we aren't doing an entire fast, we are in fact replacing two meals a days with juice and having one super healthy meal. We're still snacking, but not going crazy. 

Hopefully this will kick start our bodies again and we can finally get of the plateaus we hit a few months back, and shed a few pounds in the process.

Walking wise, I haven't walked at all this week!! :( Bad Sam! I've been super anxious all week about silly things and I think it's really effected my ability to leave the house. I'm going to tackle this issue this weekend because I really can't let it start to take over my life again. 

This being said I have lost a little weight and I am still feeling super motivated. 

Fingers crossed I can get back on the walking and keep on with the juicing. Believe me, it's really hard and I'm sooooo hungry. But, it will pay off. 

Highest weight - 218.4lbs

Last week - 216.6lbs

Today - 214.8lbs

Hope you guys have a good weekend planned!

Now I bet that you're all getting pretty sick of me saying over and over that I am going to start again with this whole weight loss thing.

Well, this week I really did. In the past five days I've walked ten miles, and that includes a day off from walking yesterday. (So really it's four days.) These are ten miles I wouldn't normally walk,  four hours I would have normal spent sitting on my butt.

I have to admit, I'm absolutely loving it. I really thought that it would feel like a chore and that it'd become boring. Each day I've tried to push myself a little further, the first couple of days I walked two miles and felt knackered, Wednesday I walked half a mile extra, uphill. Again, I was pooped but I felt good for it. Today though, I walked three miles and I feel amazing. I got to about two and a half and felt like pushing on for the little extra bit, and I'm really glad I did. 

The only reason I've never done this before is because I thought it would fill up too much of my day, but truth is, I was only out for an hour today. I've even cleaned my house top to bottom, filmed a video and now I'm writing this post too. 

Eating wise, I've filled up on salads and fruit. I've eaten a lot less than I usually would and even though I haven't necessarily lots any weight this week, I feel so much better in myself. 

I'm hoping to feel much more toned and a lot more fit. 

I can truely say that I have turned a corner and I won't be giving up this time.

Hi Lovelies!

This week's been a total mixture of good and bad. Food wise I've been doing OK? I have definitely cut down on my unhealthy snacking during the day, but in the evenings I really suffer from ridiculous cravings!

This week I've been soooo ill, it's unreal! My tonsils have been and still are the size of golf balls, if they haven't gone down by Monday, I'm making a doctors appointment. The only upside to being this ill is that for the past couple of days I've been really limited with what I can eat. I'm practically living off of soup, smoothies and hot drinks. 

Walking wise, again we haven't done much due to the fact that I've been ill, but I'm still wanting to get on top of that as soon as I'm better. 

SO anywhoooo this morning I weighed in at 

201.6lbs (1.4lbs loss. Not bad for someone who's been stuck in bed most of the week!)

Fingers crossed next week will go a little better and I won't be sick!!
