Hell has frozen over…

Anyone that knows me or has read my blog before will know I absolutely LOVE food. In particular junk food. I have tried and failed on numerous occasions to curb my eating habits. Although I am 5’2 at 9 stone I have put on a lot of weight fast and I am incredibly unhealthy. I have a terrible lifestyle. I drink, when I drink I smoke, my exercise is limited and my food intake is a disgrace.

However over the last two weeks I have been eating healthy. I no longer snack between meals. I eat an altogether more healthy and balanced diet. I eat three healthy meals a day. I drink only water, smoothies or herbal tea. If I do drink alcohol I drink gin and soda I allow myself the odd days off but I still try not to eat to excess.

I am now actually enjoy eating healthy which I never thought I would say. I had a McDonalds as a treat this weekend and I DIDN’T enjoy it. I donated half of the burger and most of the fries to my boyfriend. My trouble has always been having eyes bigger than my belly and now it seems I am starting to learn from those past mistakes.

I am combining this new diet with exercise and over the past few weeks I have been doing the Davina DVD usually with extra toning exercises  a day too, which is great for me. At first it wasn’t too pretty and I was sweating like a dog for the most part but only after a short time I am finding it a lot easier and I feel so much better for it already.

I have a variety of new favourite foods and drink, which allow me to eat well whilst enjoying my food.

Happy New Year.

So this year hasn’t been the best but after last year there has been a slight improvement. I am looking forward to 2013 because of how bad I have found the later end of 2012. Moving away from home has been a much less pleasant experience than I had hoped. The grass isn’t always greener apparently.

I am looking forward to going home, spending time with my family, getting drunk with friends and preparing for the year yet to come. Like diets, I never stick to my New Year Resolutions but this year it is important that I do.

1) I need to start enjoying Southampton.

2) Stay on top of my work and maintain a job

3) Get on the Davina, as much as I resent her face of pure fucking joy as she finishes her 400th squat, whilst I am melting.

4) Get healthy; if it smells good I am not allowed to eat it. End of.

5) Go to more places. I am either in Southampton or Birmingham. I need to change that up.

6) Save… Vile, but it has to be done.

There is probably more shit I need to do but it’ll come later…
