New Me - update

So its been a few weeks since my first 2012 blog post and some of my resolutions are in full swing here at 2F3.

I have been hitting the gym hard, going running 4 days in the week. I have also been eating really healthy (apart from a few slip ups for birthdays, trip to Holland) and have begun to feel the benefits already. I have lost 4.5 lbs and am well on my way to achieving my target, which by the way I have changed. I have decided I want to reach 8 stone 7lbs and see how I feel at that weight.

Here is an examples of my food diary:

Breakfast: White coffee with sweetener, 1 large poached egg on toast

Lunch: Ham salad seeded roll

Snack: Fruit

Dinner: Quorn sausages and salad in a brown pita

Nothing exciting or ground breaking here but it works for me. I have to eat carbs or I get too hungry especially if I am exercising vigorously, which I have been.  I also cannot cut out my morning coffee at the moment as I have drank it every morning for years and is just too much for me to give up while I have cut out most other bad things.

I have found a nice little sweet treat if you fancy a sugar hit after your evening meal. They are called strawberry pencils or cables, consist of only 40 calories per sweet and just the one satisfies me. Whats more a packet of 6 only costs 45p from Sainsburys.



Regarding my hair... I had my appointment and have had a hair overhaul. Here are the before and after pictures.

Before (slightly damp but you get the idea)

After (blonder, bouncier and much prettier) 

On a side note, my boyfriend and I have recently started watching the TV series boxset Prison Break and we absolutely LOVE IT! For anyone bored of bad January TV check it out. It is action packed, gripping, not to mention full of eye candy. The main character, Michael Scofield, who commits a crime in order to be imprisoned where his brother is currently facing death row in order to break him out is played by Wentworth Miller and he is Gorgeous with a capital G!



So, if after the gym on a boring work night while eating your healthy salad you are looking for something good to watch pick up the boxset. It's not cheap at £50 for all 4 seasons but it is well worth it as it is over 56 hours of watching, That's less than a pound per episode. Or you could do as we did and borrow. The boxset is a few years old now so a lot of people have it.
