Hi flowers!
I hope you have all had a great week.
I'm starting this weeks post off with a little 'first impressions' review for you.
I was very lucky to receive a pair of amazing running shoes from Hi-Tec and I wanted to share them with you before I got them all worn in.
In a few weeks time, I'll come back and give you a full review of how they wear and such.
The shoes I received are the Luna running shoe in black and pink.
The colours are amazing, and not too in your face. I feel if you're a night runner, then you need not worry about wearing these black trainers, as the bright pink on these will make sure that you are seen easily.
The shoes themselves are super lightweight at only 210g, and they are incredibly flexible. The reduced seam upper makes the shoe very streamline and insanely comfortable.
Inside, the shoes boast EVA sockliner for cushioning, giving that little extra bonus for comfort.
So far, I'm in love with these shoes. I have reasonably wide feet, and sometimes trainers like this can feel a little squishy on my poor little toes; but these beauties just nicely hug the foot making you feel secure and supported.
On first impression, I would recommend these to anyone. Hopefully I can still say the same in a couple of weeks time. So keep your eyes peeled for that update.
(As a teeny added note, I really liked the little thank you in the lid of the box from the chairman of the company.)
You can find them and the rest of the fabulous range of shoes, here.

This weeks update.
Everything has seem to have gone to pot this week.
If you're a guy reading this, you may want to skip a couple of lines, but ladies, you may feel my pain.
After a month missing a period and thinking I may have been pregnant a few months ago, my body has felt the need to spring two incredibly harsh 'lady times' on me in the past six weeks. One of them being this past week. I've been experiencing pains that I haven't felt since I was a teenager and it's totally thrown me off my game.
(BOY SAFE AS OF NOW)
I've also made a ton of bad choices this week. My non meat eating ways got forgotten and I'm not proud to say that. But, I am back on it as of today as I went to bed last night feeling incredibly guilty.
My other bad health choice has been that I picked up a cig or two at the beginning of the week due to stress, and of course now I am struggling to forget about them. So, once again I am battling that little addiction I've got going on. After two months smoke free, I'm pretty disappointed in myself.
Exercise wise, I have tested out the trainers above and managed to do a 20k bike ride on Wednesday, but then proceeded to eat a huge meal with family that night, and my motivation was lost as of then.
I've been on a pretty big downer this week, but I'm not letting myself worry about it too much now. What's done is done. But, I can make sure that this week I make a real effort.
Tomorrow will be day one of an exercise every day week. I felt amazing after that one bike ride, and I'm interested to see how I feel and what results I have at the end of the week, if I make it a regular thing.
Maybe exercise is what I need to keep my mood up. Endorphins and all that.
Unfortunately day one would have been today, but I'm writing this tucked up in my bed sick.

I hope you have had a better week than me.
