#FridayFitness - Smoothie week clean eating | diet | exercise | fitness | friday | fridayfitness | health | recipes | smoothie | update | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Well, hello there.

I decided not to include an update last week as mother nature was visiting, and if I'm completely honest, I felt like utter poo poo.

This week I haven't eaten brilliantly and I'm feeling really guilty about it. 

It always happens towards the end of the month, whenever money is starting to get a little low.

But, yesterday was pay day, and I relished in buying tons of fruit and veggies, ready for a week of smoothies. 

I've done this before, I lost a bit of weight, but the bigger advantage was that I felt amazing for it. 

This time I'm not going as hard with it as I did before. Last time I was having 4 or 5 smoothies a day and nothing else. It was bloody hard. 

This time I've decided to have 2 or 3 smoothies a day, and a small evening meal. 

Weight wise, I'm still sitting at 217lbs, the same place I was last time I weighed in.

I'm hoping this will get me off this plateau and help me lose a little before my birthday. 

This mornings smoothie consisted of

four strawberries

half a mango

a handful of spinach

almond milk 

natural sweetener

It honestly looked disgusting, but tasted amazing.

If you're a fan of smoothies, please leave your favourite combos in the comments below and I'll be sure to try them out. 

The new and improved #FridayFitness community | diet | exercise | facebook | fitness | friday | fridayfitness | help | inspiration | lbs | lose | recipes | support | twitter | weight | weightloss | whenflowersfall

Previously known as, Friday Fitday. 

Now, you guys know that I've been atempting some kind of weightloss for the past year. For the past year I have failed! But, now I have an incentive. 

My brother has made a group on Facebook called 'The Challenge'. He has challenged myself and a few of his friends to a weight loss mission. We have six months to healthily lose as much weight as we can. The one who loses the biggest percentage by then will get a prize from him. 

This week I have been tracking my food on MyFitnessPal, which you can feel free to add me as a friend on, and I've also been walking the dog every day. Which, if I'm totally honest, I haven't been doing until now. 

#FridayFitness will now become a weekly post where I can update you on my activities and favourite meals of the week, and of course any weight lost. 

I'd love to create a little community here, where we can all help each other and keep each other motivated. 

If you want to get involved, make sure to use the hashtag #FridayFitness on twitter and let me know how you are getting on. 

In the comments, feel free to leave inspirational quotes, meal ideas, recipes, or even exercise ideas.

I've also created a group page on facebook for anyone wanting to get involved. It's a closed group, meaning that anyone can see the group and join, but only members of the group can see what is posted. 

I hope to see some of you doing this with me! I think it'll be a great way to make friends, even if some of us struggle to shift the lbs!
