The Slimming Sensation

A few posts ago, which sadly was around a month or so ago i stated about rejoining slimming world and I thought it would be appropriate to actually give you a bit of an update. 

I haven't had to change what i eat per say, my main meals have always been reasonably a smart choice. However I have had to make changes to portions and my little treats. For those of you ho are genuinely quite curious about my day to day activity with this, feel free to check out my slimming world IG: @hellogeegsw

In short it's going really well, I started around 7/8 weeks ago and have lost & kept off 9 lbs. TO some that doesn't sound a lot but for me i'm currently weighing the least that I have in about 3/4 years! overall a big success. 

This week i'm struggling more than usual due to my reliance of comfort eating when i'm emotionally a bit stretched. Matt has gone off to america and suddenly not texting someone allay has left a bit of a void which i am adamantly trying to not fill with crisps and chocolate (crisps are more my downfall than chocolate)

Admittedly my reason for this post is to try and distract myself from snacking, something that is really hard when everyone around you is eating such delightfully nice smelling foods and often leaves me completely ravenous! 

I just thought a small update about that would make up for my lack of posting! I'm about to start training for my first ever 10k so please hit the Just giving box on my blog page to help em hit my £250 target! 

Much Love.

Then and Now

Although I'm sure my blog does not maintain a hard fellowship of readers, I find this the best way to address myself and the current issues that resolve around my life. Apologies if that is really really boring to most! 

I'd like to think back to myself a year ago. 19 year old Georgia isn't all that different to twenty year old Georgia. I would have just embarked on University and possibly one of the most emotionally torturous few months of my life. I had really high hopes that I would study every night and my aim was to lose weight. . 

Instead I gained the ever known freshers 15, I barely studied at all, in fact I think I gave up on lectures towards the end of the year. I had a reliable job at home, but due to screwing myself over I found myself starting university with no money. I barely drank and was horrendously awkward around people because I cared far to much about what everyone else thought as opposed to my own opinion. 

In the same way that Emma Watson recently rocked the UN and opened up the issues surrounding gender equality, I've learnt to be more honest about myself. 

I know that this year matters. I'm in my way home to spend the afternoon writing notes, catching up on reading and hoping to god I got away with missing two lectures last week.(I probably didn't). I've got wiser. 

Although my love life as such is a vast improvement to what it was a year ago, I'm still worried I could scare Matt away, that my grumpiness and defence mechanisms will be too much one day, but then I have also got through my body issues and can quite happily look like shit and know he still loves me at the end of it and is willingly offering to spend the rest of his old man days with me. 

I'be finally decided enough is enough of making excuses and have changed my diet. As a result I have lost half a stone... And counting. 

In a year I have become a different person, more studious, more accepting, more relaxed and quite frankly a better person. There are still things on my list I need to fix. I need to start consciously putting my finances into place and thinking about my future. 

Overall, I just need to keep adapting and letting myself grow older , wiser and better. 

Should be easy...

DISCLAIMER: I have not been taken over by a droid, I am a certified Juice Plus Distributor, I have used the product & truly have 100% trust in it! So please don't think I'm just trying to mug people off!

  

At the beginning of summer, I began my juice Plus trial, pretty skeptical about the whole thing, considering I thought the price was wayyyyy to high! HOWEVER, my eczema on my elbows has got better, my hair is growing better than it has in years, my nails are stronger and yes I have lost a whole stone in a few months.

I am completely envious of people who can have a hard mentality and just smash it out in a weight loss bid. However, I also know there are people like me all over the place who genuinely can't just get into that mentality.

This is why I loved Juice plus. It is so overly strict but more of a realisation of all the shit we put through our bodies. I used the Juice Plus Complete Shakes, after my 10 day detox, I already found that I'd lost a few pounds, but bearing in mind water weight I didn't think anything of it. Instead after I started the shakes (Vanilla, Almond Milk & Peach FTW) I found that I felt more energised, happier and the loving result that my leggings got that little bit looser.

I am have been a lazy juice plus user as well, due to my work commitments this summer I haven't been able to get to the gym & my only exercise has been working & walking everywhere, However  have still seen AMAZING results! As I go back to Uni in little under a week I still saved myself two of my pouches left so that once I get my exercise bike in my room, I will be able to add exercise to my everyday routine and absolutely smash out the last of my target (another stone please!!!!)

The details of the Juice Plus are as follows....

Juice Plus Shakes £32.50 a month, or one standoff payment of £123.75, this is FOUR MONTHS worth of shakes and could possibly be the best decision ever! especially as it works out as costing just under a £1 a day!!!!!

Please email me : georgiamae@me.com  for more info & i will be more than willing to answer your questions!!!

Happy Health!

Hello everyone! Sorry about the lack of writing on this blog at the moment, however I have been quite busy but in the best possible way!

I've lost albs which to me is a mega achievement because i very very very rarely lose weight whenever I try any change of lifestyle... however I have found one.

Juice plus has been superbly helpful to me, it helped me start up my new lifestyle into healthy eating, and genuinely made me more energetic & feel better! I work a 9-5 5 days a week job so finding a suitable lifestyle changer like this which i can fit around my working life is a life saver!

Its all very simple, I wake up in the morning, have a bowl of my own made clean granola, a chocolate  shake mixed with strawberries & a pint of water! At lunch, Another shake with some fruit with (full fat) greek yoghurt then at dinner whatever meal i like, They call them 'clean meals' but some of the meals I have made have been superb even though they are considered clean!

People are sceptical about 'diets' but i really haven't used this as a diet, i've used it to make my life easier, because i don't always have time to prepare myself a huge lunch! and i prepare all my dinners for the week on a sunday!

I have seen so many amazing changes now I am not only part of the distributor team but also a user of the product, people loosing albs a week by merely detoxing and then moving forward with a healthier and better lifestyle!

if you want to know about the payment for Juice Plus then I am a distributor!  please get in contact by email! georgiamae@me.com to find out more everyone!!!!

New Blog!

Hello everyone!

With a happy mood comes happy news; I am now a team leader at Sealife Centre (you'll find me crowding with the otters!) as well as a student mentor for next year! All of this has come at such a good time that I have decided to get my life in order, to start aiming to do the things I've wanted to do for years!

One of my biggest personality flaws is motivation, I can be a motivator to people but am my own worst enemy at getting things done. So I have set up myself a secondary blog which is completely surrounding my health & weight loss.

I thought it would save you poor souls from hearing me whinge about having a fat day or feeling rubbish about myself so I can formally use this blog to update on my own private project!

so without further ado; www.healthyhappinesshour.blogspot.co.uk is the place to be to follow my journey!

apart from that guys, I'm glad to see my page views continually rising and that makes me ever so happy & feel more productive!!!

Lots of love

G

Change

Hello Hello Hello!

It's been a while since I last updated, and hopefully this post will do it's best to explain why i've been quite so'tardy to the party' (cheers RHOBH!!!!).

Since I last blogged, I let you all know that I was staying at the OH's which is still true, going lovely and all that jazz. He puts up with my grumps & I put up with his distinctive piggish behaviour on occasion.

However there have been a few changes! My cousin Samantha Birch (T: @sambirchwriter) has released a book! The High Street Bridge's Guide is an absolute little cracker. Although I'm not planning on getting married any time soon being at the ripe old age of nineteen, non-biased family relative aside this is a really good read, It 'flows' as such and isn't completely overwhelming unlike other wedding guide literature often is.

I've also become a member or the JuicePlus+ gang! That's right, I've sold out & put myself on a surprisingly alright diet! For those of you who are unaware, The Juiceplus craze is sweeping the country with people signing up with a desperate bid to lose weight! It can be taken in several different formats (chewable tablets or shakes as the most common) and I chose the Shakes!
Before you start the actual shakes, you need to take a ten day detox, which is something I really struggled with, however once the shakes arrived it wasn't too bad. You drink two shakes a day and then one 'clean' meal in the evening.

I have quite a busy schedule, and unsociable eating hours at my workplace, however the shakes are filling and do make me feel full for a few hours before my nice healthy dinner. In terms of effect, I haven't noticed a considerable weight loss yet, hover I have noticed a few inches coming off my waist and my stomach isn't as bloated any more!

It's a bit dear, at £32.50 a month for 4 months or a one of payment but I can't complain, it's helping me make some better choices and I feel better in myself!.

I have entered a competition! Wateraid are looking for a blogger at Glastonbury this year! It's a long shot, where all I had to make was a quick 15 second instagram vid, however I'd love it if you guys would check it out, 5 people will be shortlisted with the fifth being voted in by the amount of views it receives on the internet! thats you lovely people!

Fourth and final change is that I am looking for a new job! The sad moment has finally happened where I am sick and tired of my life at the pub and all the  hassle that comes with it.  So I'm trying to find a small summer job to last me until August, a few hours a week and nice and easy.

SO.

That is the change occurring in my life at the moment! I'll try and get back to regular blogging :)

The Importance of Bra's, Sports Federation & Date night

I haven't really blogged in a while, I've had a bit of a busy few weeks so I'll start wight he low down into my life first & then actually move on to the topic of today!

I'm back 'home' in Weymouth at the moment, back at the pub and saving frantically for my new mac & updating my life savings. (sadly they diminish every single term but now i'm really aiming at budgeting and staying on top of things!) I used 'home' in little quotations because I'm not in my family home, nope i'm actually living with my OH at the moment. I've had the 'oh wait till your first fight' conversation repeated beaten into me by just about everyone i know but it hasn't happened yet! Wooo for being successful. 

Being back at the pub is interesting, I forgot how hard the hours can be on you, mentally and physically. I had to be actually woken up after this bank holiday at nearly 3pm, I haven't slept like that in what feels like years!!! However I have the positive of an (finally) updated key to management position and a pay rise which has been sweet as a fuuucccck. 

Now. 

I'm a rather curvy (chubby) lady, and that has come with the issue of big boobs! 

I went to Bravissimo in Covent Garden a month or so ago and my friend forced me into being fitted properly. I have no issues with being fitted or having other ladies copping a feel when it's for the benefit of my comfort, but I don't particularly like it because it's always been bad news. I was originally two years ago a C, got refitted and came out a DD. 

You can therefore imagine my surprise when I was remeasured that day and came out a 36FF. THIRTY SIX DOUBLE BLOODY F. This has left me in a pickle, many underwear shops don't actually fit us larger ladies. So i've had to shop online. 

Bravissimo & Boux Avenue are two of the best shops I have found, they fit all sizes and they are actually comfy nice bra's! It's amazing how good you can feel when you have the right support so GET YOURSELF MEASURED! 

I've been a busy bee as a whole, and had my climbing clubs sports federation event, despite being royally mugged off for a £35 round which only included two drinks & 10 sambuccas, it was an amazing night, I'd luckily found a little dress off of the internet and it suited me, admittedly i've been really bad with my eating recently so it wasn't perfect but i felt comfy which I think is the main thing! 

I won't bore you too much with the details but I did win a little certificate for my contribution to climbing this year which is a massive bonus! 

Finally. Date Night. 

I've never been with anyone who has ever really thought to 'treat me' or take me out, so tonight I have adequately named it date night. i have no idea where we are going or what we are doing in particular, however it's going to be adorable and with two days off hopefully we'll be doing some climbing in the next few days as well! still all positives and I'm a happy little bunny at the moment. P.s he's complained that i dont ahow him off enough; so lady and gentlemen for your eyes only...

AND. IVE FINISHED UNI FOR THE YEAR! WOOOOOO!!!

Year one, over and done with, will probably do a summary of my favourite moments and fingers crossed get a youtube video done at some point!
