LIFESTYLE: WHAT I EAT WHEN I'M BEING HEALTHY



I've jumped back on that healthy eating bandwagon, it's probably abit late to get that fit summer body but I want to loose abit of weight and just eat abit healthier. I feel abit rubbish right now and I find that my diet can sometimes affect how i'm feeling. I have done slimming world in the past and lost over 2 stone so I know this works for me. Since being pregnant with Amelia I have just eaten whatever I want but really want to start making healthier choices and eating better. I thought i'd share a few ideas of the types of foods that I eat when i'm being healthy as I feel this can really help people.  I do have a Slimming World instagram which I share most of my meals on. I like using Instagram to get ideas for healthy meal ideas and I follow loads of Slimming World accounts again to get lots of new ideas.

For breakfast I like having Oaty Pancakes, you can see a recipe on my blog here, they are so tasty! I love having them with banana and nutella.
If i'm not having pancakes then I might do a fry up using FryLight and lean bacon, a low fat sausages.
Another breakfast favourite is a fruity smoothie, i'll pop some Banana, Strawberry, Oats and sometimes Yoghurt and honey in a blender like one from My Juicer UK for a yummy tasty refreshing smoothie in the morning.

For lunch my fave is Jacket Potato, beans and salad. I really like the Sweet Potato Jackets, they are really tasty! I tend to cook them in the morning and then just pop them in the microwave at lunch time for a few minutes.

I also like just having a nice tasty salad especially in the summer. I like to have some low fat coleslaw. On slimming world you can have pasta so sometimes i'll add a little pasta to my salad.

You can find loads of low syn snacks, you can buy packets of chicken or a fruit bag which would be syn free. I find that finding the syns for things and writing it on a sticky note onto the product helps when your watching what you eat. This can stop you from eating that extra mini roll in the office at lunch.

I find dinner really easy some of my favourites are hunters chicken with Slimming World Chips, if you chop potatos into chips and pop them in the oven using FryLight you can get some yummy low fat chips.
Another fave is bolognaise, I tend to make extra and have the left-overs the next day on a Jacket Potato for lunch.

I find sweet treats the hardest as I have a sweet tooth, I think the main thing for me is if I want something i'll eat it, rather than getting depressed about being on a diet on not being able to eat what I want. I think by making good food choices most of the time you can loose weight and feel better. I want to get back into my exercise too but right now it's just a brisk walk with Amelia, especially in this heat!

REVIEW: CHARLOTTE'S 3 MINUTE BELLY BLITZ



As you may or may not know i've been trying to loose some weight, I was really asked if i'd be interested in reviewing Charlottes 3 Minute Belly Blitz, I was so excited as i'd heard some great things about this DVD and really wanted to try it for myself. 

Charlotte is famous for being part of reality tv show Geordie Shore. She has apparently lost 3 stone from this workout so of course I was really excited to try it. 

I've been going to the gym and started walking more, i've also been eating healthily aswell as doing this fitness dvd a few nights a week. 

First of all I've found the dvd really easy to follow, there's a warm up and a cool down aswell as 12 3 minute workouts. These consist of about 4 moves that you repeat. The first time I did the dvd I did about 3 or 4 of the workouts and I was so hot! I could feel it working and the next day I was aching. 
I can do more of the workouts now and i'm finding it abit easier to do the workouts. 

You can pick to do the whole workout or pick individual workouts to do. This makes its great because you can do a little here and there. You can decide what you want to do. 
There's different levels aswell so there's a beginners level which you can follow if your not feeling the normal level, this makes the moves a little easier. 

It's such an easy to follow step by step dvd, I could feel it working and my abs felt firmer. As I said i'm going to the gym and eating healthy so it's not just the dvd but i've been wearing my polar hear rate monitor and I feel the workouts are good, i'm working out at a good heart rate and burning lots of calories by following the routines. 

I was going to buy this dvd myself, I have recommended it to my friends. I think its really good. 
Its great that you can work out from home, its great to have this handy when you have a little time to pop it on. I like to do it when i've been at work and I don't feel like going to the gym. 

Thanks to Cash Generator for sending me this DVD to try.
