Water Water Water!!
Ok, I'm sorry, i said i would blog and i didn't but i promise in making up for it now with that water intake post i promised! Oops...
So as i said in my last post in pretty awful at drinking the amount of water i should and so after a lot of thought and reminders to myself in here to share some top tips!!
So as i said in my last post in pretty awful at drinking the amount of water i should and so after a lot of thought and reminders to myself in here to share some top tips!!
+So we all know we should be drinking 2ltrs a day right? Well so you know how much that is i advise buying a pitcher (you can buy cheap plastic ones for £1 from most pound shops) just fill it up place in the fridge and you are good to pour!
+For when your on the go a cute little travel cup that you can fill is always good too!!
+Set an alarm!! I decided to set a few alarms through the day to remind me to grab a glass. This is my main problem, i just forget so that's been helpful
+Aim to drink your 1st litre by lunch - maybe have an alarm reminding you, trust me getting through the second is easier then!!
+Have a glass with every meal!
+Flavour your water!! Omg this is amazing. Water can get a bit boring so juice is usually a go to option but if your trying to be healthier flavour your water yourself! I promise to do a post very soon with some options!!
+When your drinking your herbal teas they also count in your water intake so you CAN mix it up! Maybe have a herbal tea mid afternoon to break things up a bit!!
Do you have any other advice for adding water to your diet? I know there will be so many other ways to increase your intake but these have been the best ways for me at least!!
Again just another apology i know i promised to blog so i deffo promise for this week!!
Also coming soon an instagram page - i still haven't figured out pictures so at least i can post them there lol!!

Aloha!! .. Party Prep (A 2 Month Challenge)
Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you've all had a fab weekend!
Today I wanted to share with you all a challenge that I am starting today for the next 2 months!! .. We have been invited to a party in september .. Its HAWAIIAN!! I absolutely love this idea for a party, its going to be soo summery and so much fun! Hello cocktails :D .. Hello Abs (erm .. Not yet)
My sister in law and I have decided if we can get ourselves in shape or at least alot better then we currently are then we will take the plunge and do the coconut bras ha!! So my 2 month challenge - you must have guessed - is to get into shape! So i know that its going to be difficult and i wont be to upset if it doesn't happen but i think having a goal at the end should help! ..
So whats the plan? Well ive been sat for most of the weekend trying to figure this out and ive decided to go simple for now. I am one of those people who loves cake and being told no makes me want it more so i want to still be able to have treats but of course in moderation, so for this first week i just want to make some swaps to food, drinks and what I'm doing to ease myself into it for now. so here are the swaps I'm going to make this week - and keep up - and continue for the next few weeks
full fat milk to semi skimmed milk (I'm not making the full change to skim as it gives me wiggle room later on if i need to make more changes!)
2 litres of water a day - I'm pretty bad with the water thing so i will aim to drink 1-2 litres this first week and keep trying to up it - ill post some tips later about this!
workout at least 30 mins 4-5 days a week - i can add more time on to that as time goes by but 30 minutes to start with should help me get the time in! - i will post more on this later though
move when i would normally be still - so basically when I'm drying my hair if i march on the spot or do squats or lunges, when the kettles boiling jog on the spot or jumping jacks, when adverts come on do some chair dips or squats .. You get the idea right? - its extra movements but taking no extra time out of the day
try and have a fruit smoothie for breakfast or lunch 1-2 times a week - or more then that but again start of small and build up!
drink more green tea! So many health benefits!! Another i shall post more on doing
try to save any treats until Sunday - having one day i know i can be more relaxed about food should help to stay on track!
food wise in not going to be following a specific diet I'm just going to try and be healthier and make better choices - if anyone has any advice they are always welcome!! If i come across any really great recipes i will of course post them for you all!!
Ok so i know looking at this you might be thinking this isn't going to make much difference, as time goes by i will be making more changes and adding more to what I'm doing i will of course keep you updated incase anyone wants to try this with me? For now and this first week though i want to start small, a few simple changes to get into it and then build from there!
little changes add up to big results
I will post the water tips, workouts and about green tea benefits soon and will keep you guys up to date with things as i go. If anyone wants to join me then your of course welcome :) comment below if you plan to or if you have any questions i would love to hear from you! If you have any advice please comment that too :)
So wish me luck! I'm pretty nervous ha!
