USA Pro Tight Pants // Nike Capri Bottoms // Lonsdale Crop Sports Bra

Polar FT4 watch

Hey flowers!

This weeks wishlist is sportswear related as I'm craving some new gear to get me motivated. 

I currently own only one pair of bottoms, and one sports bra. Not so good for someone who wants to do daily exercise. 

The big thing in lusting over is a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor. 

My bike does count calories and track heart rate, but something tells me that it's not very accurate as I can't input my weight etc. 

The price isn't too bad, but I have managed to find it £20 cheaper than RRP here.

What are you wanting to splurge on this week?

#FridayFitness - 2 Weeks In #fridayfitness | diet | fitness | food | fridayfitness | health | loss | motivation | sportswear | vegetarian | weight | weightloss | whenflowersfall

Hi flowers!

So I'm two weeks into the vegetarian chapter of my life. I'm happy to say that I think I've done pretty well considering I just decided one day to give up meat. The only thing that I did allow myself to have, which I said I would anyway, was a small portion of sushi from Asda. 

This week though, has been a tough one. I've found myself craving meat like a mad woman and I even fell asleep thinking of steak on Wednesday night. Yup, sounds crazy, but it's true. Because of this I have decided to allow myself fish/seafood for a while, which will hopefully mean that I won't cave and stuff my face with beef one day. 

I'm not sure if it will become a forever thing, but for now I think it's best for me. 

I cannot tell you how much willpower I had to use not to make a sausage sarnie. Liam's been away this week and I, unfortunately had no petrol in the car to go to the shop to buy some veggie sausies. 

Other than that, I need to cut down on the things that I've started to replace meat with. I've found myself reaching for cheese far to often and I imagine it's one of the reasons that I haven't lost much weight in the past two weeks. 

I've only lost a pound since my last weigh in with you guys and I really feel the need to step up my game, so I've made this to spur me on...

These two jars are now sitting on my shelf until behind my desk. You may be able to see them every now and then in my videos.

The 'lbs to go' jar originally had 50 glass stones in it, a stone for each pound I would like to lose. As you can see, it's now missing a few and they are happily sitting in the 'lbs lost' jar. 

I'm hoping that now I have something visual to keep me going, I may be able to keep up my motivation. 

There's no feeling like moving a glass bead from one jar to the other. 

Today I'll be moving one more over and in my eyes, it's better than nothing.  

Start weight...

234lbs

This week...

229lbs

-5lbs

ps - I'm looking for some good quality, affordable sportswear. If you have any recommendations please leave them in the comments. If I do get my hands on some, I'll do some reviews for you guys. :)

Hello, my lovelies!

This week has been the first week I have been able to put a huge effort into this, since being incredibly ill.

Eating wise, I've kept within my Myfitnesspal limits, and I haven't actually been too hungry. I imagined I would be forever scouring the fridge and cheating left, right and center. But, so far so good.
That's not to say that I haven't had moments of hungriness, but it's been nice being able to eat when I'm hungry, not just because I want to/feel like it. This way I know that I'm eating for a purpose.

Exercise wise, I have started walking again. After my chest infection, it's been pretty hard going on the old breathing, but I've done 3 miles every other day so far. I'm hoping to get into a routine of doing it at least five times a week, meaning I will be walking 15 miles more than I would have last month.
3 miles usually takes me about an hour, so it really doesn't take up much time in my day. If I get up and do it first thing in the morning after breakfast, I find it doesn't interfere with anything else I plan on doing that day.

My official starting weight was 220lb.
I went down to 208lbs the week after I suffered with norovirus, but I have a funny feeling that I managed to put all of that weight back on, once my normal eating/binging cycle had returned. So I'm going back to my starting weight and working from that.

My weight today is 217.3 lbs.
I'm happy with that. It's healthy weight loss, so hopefully something that will stay off.
Also, does anyone else find that special occasion days always fall the day before weigh in?

Below I have included a little mini post that I thought may interest some of you.

I'd love to know if any of you have decided to join in with #FridayFitness.

Sportswear @ George

1 // 2  // 34 // 5 // 6A couple of days ago I posted a George wishlist. Whilst having a mooch online, I thought I would have a quick look at the sportswear and I was pleasantly surprised. As I'm in need of some new bits to keep my going, I figured I'd share my favourites with you. As well as the bits above, there is also a great selection of sports bras and other joggers. I picked out the more fitting bottoms, such as the yoga pants and 3/4 length legging style. I love the fact that for the most part, the sportswear is black, but it does have some great pops of colour. Solid coral tops are also available.
