Weight Loss Wednesday

I am forever missing weeks with my weight loss Wednesdays posts recently! I'm terrible I know but life is crazy busy and sometimes things have to give for a little while...I'm sorrrrry! 

But aside from the apologies these past two weeks have been ultra motivated and I've been hitting goals left right and centre! I've taken up more exercise, wahoo for me, drank tonnes more water and even lost a pound! So altogether I'm super motivated now to carry on!

These past two weeks my motivation has come from realisation as to how close my holiday is; 14 weeks to go, eeek! I know it sounds like ages away but its really not! I read a post this week on instagram about how it takes about a month (If I remember correctly because I can't find the post now!) for you to notice changes in your own body, around 2 months for your family and close friends to notice changes and then 12 weeks for others to notice!  This just made me realise that I need to knuckle down and get living an even healthier lifestyle because it doesn't just happen over night! I've also purchased a very very pretty bikini for my holiday and at the moment don't feel confident to wear it but my goal is to be able to feel at least 70% confident in wearing it for my holiday! 

I'm also changing up how I 'diet', if that's what you call what I do. I've decided to cut carbs and increase exercise, both cardio and strength. I'm already enjoying Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD, which I've been doing on and off for about 3 weeks (As well as her Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism DVD), so I'm going to carry on doing those. I'm a huge apple product lover and always have my iphone with me and my ipad's always around when I'm at home. So I've downloaded a couple of apps to help me do some extra mini workouts and toning exercises; I've gone with an App called '7M workout' which does exactly as its name would suggest and another called 'six pack' which has loads of short set toning exercises. Plus it sends a notification to remind you to work out, which is really handy! And they're both free!

So that's what I'm going to be doing for the next 14 weeks! Well I'm going to use the next two weeks as a bit of an introduction as my mum's on holiday and wants to do it with me but as soon as she arrives home we'll be hitting the new plan hard, for 12 solid weeks before we go away! I'm super excited!!

Thanks for reading, I hope everyone's still doing well and enjoying whatever they're doing to stay healthy, leave me your links and I'll check your posts out, I love reading other peoples tips and stories!
