Getting engaged has not helped with my goal of losing 15-20lbs and my weight has remained stagnant as i have become a bit of a Lazy Lizzy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
However that is about to change (i hope!!)</div>

This is going to be an exciting year. I can feel it in my bones!<br />
And with so many important events coming up, hen do's, my best friends wedding I know I need to get back on track with my fitness. <br />
Christmas really did a number on me and the scale jumped up back into a number I promised myself I would never see again.<br />
<br />
However I refuse to let that get me down so I have embarked on a free 90 day challenge called the bikini body mommy challenge, now obviously I am not a mommy so I have renamed mine the bikini body bridesmaid challenge instead!<br />
<br />
So my half year resolutions are as follows.<br />
Lose 15-20lbs<br />
Stick to the BBM challenge<br />
Eat as 'cleanly' as possible<br />
Enjoy my rest days and don't feel guilty for a cheat day now and again!<br />
<br />
Do you have any New Years fitness resolutions?<br />
<br />

I dislike running with a passion!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seriously the whole time I am running I am trying to convince my brain to keep my feet moving, I hate the way it makes my nose run, and my lungs hurt. I hate that my boobs are practically hitting me in the face every other step.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that being said, it would be safe for you to assume that I wouldn't have any desire to run, but you would be wrong. I long to love it, to be one of the many many Norwegians out at all hours of the day pounding the pavement. I want to be one of those annoying people who says "running is so relaxing" "running makes me feel free".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided the best way to force myself to become a runner would be to enter myself into a race!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have entered myself into the iFormLøp 2013 in Bergen. and I am excited as well as scared.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is 2 weekends away eek!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off thinking I could train on the treadmill and that would be enough, I completed my first test 5k in 44.58 minutes and was pretty pleased.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8lMUYcPVVrah8YsKS6FozcAR5WEvu2HAeGjSAc36vP2RN3SXnVpwmR9ZmYeZ_J481pKw6KGjwJkhsFsYgKFglxMyqZ5fG46zuqvEfy63wi-5hLoj3aC1nAbqIHenX-NwNm2GEI7LB6c/s1600/indoor+5k.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8lMUYcPVVrah8YsKS6FozcAR5WEvu2HAeGjSAc36vP2RN3SXnVpwmR9ZmYeZ_J481pKw6KGjwJkhsFsYgKFglxMyqZ5fG46zuqvEfy63wi-5hLoj3aC1nAbqIHenX-NwNm2GEI7LB6c/s400/indoor+5k.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then I started to get a niggling worry at the back of my head, <i>Would I really be able to do this outside? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got a lucky break and Norway decided, <i>enough with this winter sh*t!</i> and skipped right over spring into glorious summer weather!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took full advantage and yesterday got myself all ready for a jog around the lake near my apartment. I was going pretty well... until half way round the lake I suddenly felt like I was either going to throw up, pass out, or even worse BOTH!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz1dYyMylOd4phvLuii84tPvEs_lV3R4eXsT2nd8OWXww91M7-U2-LgsVcQMcLCxPBDJlFvsbeAC_rRNrmvDYvP6b02D__nuHHSCybCKqnzRy89G_e9ZCOahI-UD9g6ddjGC40cGhOmfc/s1600/outdoor+run+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz1dYyMylOd4phvLuii84tPvEs_lV3R4eXsT2nd8OWXww91M7-U2-LgsVcQMcLCxPBDJlFvsbeAC_rRNrmvDYvP6b02D__nuHHSCybCKqnzRy89G_e9ZCOahI-UD9g6ddjGC40cGhOmfc/s400/outdoor+run+1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The run ended there and I spent the rest of the time resting by the water and trying to find the strength to walk home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, In the past that would have been that! <i>okay I failed, end of that experiment</i>. But this morning as the sun shone through the curtains, I was determined to try again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Success!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally did it! I still don't enjoy running yet but at least at this pace I think I will be able to manage the 5k!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>no snazzy nike+ flag for my fastest 5k because the annoying gps crapped out and didn't log my run properly! thank God for Endemondo.</i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Despite a strong start at the beginning of the year, my weightloss came to a bit of a stall in April and I found myself losing and gaining the damn 5lbs over and over again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was hard and my motivation has not been forthcoming but i have finally pushed through and seem to be back on track.</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/401929_10151349677517805_1889951037_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/401929_10151349677517805_1889951037_n.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>January (200lbs) to May (173.6lbs)</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted this progress picture on my facebook the other day and I can't believe how much my body has changed in a matter of months.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May in Norway is a crazy time with public holidays left, right and centre which is great as it means lots of breaks from working and lots of time to chill out but it also means lots of sitting inside watching TV (seeing as its still raining rivers in Bergen) or lots of drinking/party time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so my main goal for this month is to enjoy the parties and celebrations on the long weekend, which includes the Norwegian national day, my dear friend Katharines birthday, my 25th birthday, and then the party for my birthday. and then get back down to business seeing as my holiday is now only <b>38 days away!!!!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So the big trip to the US is fast approaching and in a mere 39 days me, my boyfriend and my sister Alice will be hanging out in America!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am planning on doing a TON of shopping while I am there, and can't wait to buy some summery things, although I must remember that Bergen's summer tends to last only a day or two so I can't buy too many summer dresses ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That doesn't stop me thinking up loose flowing summer outfits for hanging out on the beaches of Southern California, like the one below!</div>

I have seen so many different posts floating around Tumblr and Pinterest on how to make your own almond milk, but honestly I have never been a big milk drinker so I always just scrolled past and didn't pay a great deal of attention</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then this weekend I was suddenly hit with the desire to try almond milk and seeing as I had a bunch of almonds in my cupboard thought why not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't use a specific recipe to do this I just went with what I remembered from the posts I'd seen, so here's how I made it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I soaked about a cup of raw almonds in a cup and a half of water overnight in the fridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>note, in most of the recipes it says to use filtered water, but the water in Norway is pretty clean so I just used tap water.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning I threw the nuts and the water into the blender.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Okay, so since going back and looking at some of the recipes I did notice that it says to replace the water with new water, which I didn't do but mine turned out fine so I figure it's not biggie, and when I do my next batch I will use clean water to see if it really does make a difference.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then you blend it all up on a high speed.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I blended it until I couldn't really see many brown flecks from the skins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I used some clean thin cotton material to squeeze out the almond milk into a Kilner jar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Most recipes recommend using muslin or a nut bag (hehe)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be prepared this can be a messy job, I probably should have put down a tea towel first because I had almond milk everywhere!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once that Is done you are left with a jar full of yummy, creamy almond milk and a cloth full of almond mush, which can be used if you want, but I just binned mine seeing as all of the nutrients are in the milk anyways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To make mine vanilla flavoured, I used half a vanilla pod, and scraped out the seeds into the milk, before letting the pod steep in the milk, to give it an extra luscious vanillery flavour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are so many yummy thing you could flavour the milk with, I want to try cardamomme, cinnamon, dates, agave and honey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
YUM!!</div>

Now let me start off by saying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE MY SCALE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>even when it shows me a number I don't like</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for me stepping on the scale in the morning is the best way to get myself ready for the day. If it shows me a loss I feel fantastic, if it shows a gain, it reminds me to stay focused and to work my ass off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However sometimes it can be incredibly gratifying to find some NSV's or non scale victories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like this comparison picture</div>

When I was originally putting together this picture I did not realise just how different I looked, and while the weights aren't hugely far apart it really shows me how much my body has changed!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
another NSV has been fitting into all three pairs of jeans that my mum bought me for Christmas,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I got them and tried them on I was gutted to realise that not one pair of them fit well, and I almost send them back but a mere two months later and they all fit perfectly!! (now they are even getting a little loose after being worn all day!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have a really sweet tooth and I often find myself giving in to sugar cravings. Which always results in me feeling terrible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I have been on the lookout for a good muffin recipe for a while, one which will fit into my diet plan of clean eating. Then in our farm box last week, we received around 20 small bananas which had started to go bad, because who can really eat that many bananas in a week!?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then it came to me! The internet!! The internet must have a clean eating recipe for banana muffins, and as usual it didn't disappoint. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This recipe is based on one I found <a href="http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-banana-muffins/">at The Gracious Pantry</a> but I ended up changing it quite a bit to fit to my needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>To make these all natural, no sugar, banana breakfast muffins you will need:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 cup wholemeal flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 cup rye flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon of baking soda</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon baking powder (this is only because I didn't have enough baking soda for 2 teaspoons)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 eggwhites</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup honey</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil (although i used Vita which is a blend)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 cup milk (i used lett melk, but the recipe says you can use any kind)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 applesauce (I used unsweetened apple and strawberry puree and probably added a little more than 1/4)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 ripe small bananas (the original recipe calls for 2, but mine are so small that i doubled it)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the topping i added a seed mix called Omega Mix which is a blend of pumpkin seeds, linseed, golden linseed, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. ( i also added a little sprinkle into the mix)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>To Make</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
preheat the oven to 190C</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
mash the bananas and mix in all of the other wet ingredients</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>the honey, milk, applesauce, eggwhites, oil</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then in a separate bowl sift all of the dry ingredients together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix together thoroughly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Spoon into muffin cases (about half way full) and then sprinkle with Omega Mix (or some yummy nuts of your choice)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pop them into the oven for 20 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
take them out and cool!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Enjoy them for breakfast, a snack or a perfect little sweet treat with a cup of herbal tea! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I came across the <a href="http://www.getfitbook.com/">Fitbook</a> on Amazon a while back while looking for a food journal of some sort, and was instantly attracted to it, especially because it functions as both an exercise and food journal. oh and it comes with a super cute little pen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic';">research shows that people who write down their goals are 75% more likely to achieve them. true - living a healthy, fit lifestyle takes discipline and hard work, but setting up yourself for success starts with jotting down your goals and making a realistic plan for achieving them.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; text-align: center;">
<i>introducing fitbook™ - the personalized, flexible and functional line of fitness + nutrition journals that offer a unique 12-week system to plan for success, track your progress, and reach your goals." - <a href="http://www.getfitbook.com/introducing-fitbook-s/35.htm">visit the fitbook website</a></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been using my fitbook for 6 weeks now and during that time I have lost over 10lbs, so I really wanted to share what it is like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the beginning of the book it gives you some sample pages to give you an idea of how to fill it in,</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51it1RmynPL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51it1RmynPL.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">borrowed from amazon</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it is time to get started yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up is setting yourself a 12 week plan, there are spaces for you to enter your current stats and your goals, and on the other side a 12 week exercise planner so you can figure out when you are going to get your workouts in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>as you can see I have not entirely filled in my plan yet as I always think of extra things as I go along.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQYSvTaayQbXlyfSSKqjH0hBhzaWL7P88I2dY2eTRfzqiiJQLM0NLN3y0gg4f7Ogb5Afg2Ph4LO4s7SbeCJgnO57tv55VxRkGz3_3dB4jg7eJ610bCO2vEPj0CPevk_Wo09ndKJe0SSyM/s1600/12+week+plan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="337" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQYSvTaayQbXlyfSSKqjH0hBhzaWL7P88I2dY2eTRfzqiiJQLM0NLN3y0gg4f7Ogb5Afg2Ph4LO4s7SbeCJgnO57tv55VxRkGz3_3dB4jg7eJ610bCO2vEPj0CPevk_Wo09ndKJe0SSyM/s640/12+week+plan.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then you can really get going </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each week starts off the same way with a weekly exercise and food planner on one page and a place to write down goals, rewards and notes on the next page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I really like this feature as I am a natural born planner with lists coming out of my ears, so sitting down on Sunday evening and planning the week ahead is very satisfying.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next you have your daily pages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an exercise log on one page</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I really like that it has separate spaces for strength training and cardio and also has a little section so you can jot down anything noteworthy from the day.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a food diary on the opposite</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Probably one of my favourite features of the whole book is the nutrient tracker and recommended servings next to it. It certainly helps me keep in mind what i SHOULD be eating during the day.</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the week it has a lovely little wrap up section where you can write down how well you followed your plan, you also get spaces to note down the good points from the week and the not so good, as well as a space to journal your thoughts and feelings from the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I especially enjoy the inspiration section on this page which helps me remember why I am working my ass off each week!</i></div>

Now for my April Goals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Lose another 10lbs! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Summer is creeping ever closer and those bikinis are calling my name</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Change up my Cardio routines to reflect the weather</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Hiking, Running outside (fear zone) Swimming along with the usual Spinning and Treadmill</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Get back on the Yoga train</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Now that I am losing weight at a fairly rapid pace, I think I need some Yoga to help avoid too much saggy skin!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Beat my PB on the Treadmill</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Currently I am able to run for about 15 straight minutes on the Treadmill, I want to get to 20</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Keep logging food in my FitBook and eating healthily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Self explanatory.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise I am going to try super hard to not make my next post a recap of my April goals and instead attempt to actually publish a variety of posts this month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the meantime let me know <b>what<span style="font-size: large;"> YOUR goals for April are?? </span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I purchased it at the beginning of February and instantly loved that it could show me not only my heart rate but also calories burned while working out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It was perfect for spinning because it has helped me see how effective my workouts are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also just recently realised that it kept track of all of my workout data so i am able to see how many hours i have worked out and calories i have burned since getting it!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am super proud of how hard I have worked so far! and I am hoping to have at least doubled the amount of sessions by the end of April!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am completely in LOVE with my polar watch! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are thinking of getting one and you are not sure you really want to commit to buying a top of the line expensive one then this is definitely for you as it only cost me £52 which is pretty cheap compared to some of the others!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do any of you use a heart rate monitor to improve your workouts?</div>

In January i made myself some goals, not all of them were fitness related but most, so i wanted to address them and add a few more :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goals were..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">1. cut out junk food and anything that is overly processed</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
I did pretty good on this one, i certainly cut waay down on the junk food and my general diet now consists of healthy proteins and vegetables so a definite tick for that!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">2. home cook as many meals as possible and try and blog new recipes</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">
This i did really well! i think in the past two months i have home cooked around 90% of my meals, its not always easy and i do find myself eating a lot of the same meals again and again, so i think i need to get on pinterest and find some new healthy meals to try.</div>

Often when a new year starts we all jump feet first into one fad diet after another and after maybe 3 weeks of barely eating the cravings overwhelm us and we end up gorging on junk food until we are right back at square one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this picture on Tumblr and it really stuck with me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/45703440/tumblr_menfw0VwKM1rmct1no1_400_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/45703440/tumblr_menfw0VwKM1rmct1no1_400_large.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes so much sense really when you think about it, neither of the extremes of eating can ever really be good for our bodies and what is the point of food if you can't enjoy what you're eating along the way?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This links nicely to one of my <a href="http://www.wolfandthefox.com/2013/01/2013-goals-promises-and-new-starts.html">January</a> goals which was to home cook as many meals as possible. I have decided that instead of ordering a pizza when i get the craving, to try and make one at home instead, that way i can control what goes into it, omitting any unhealthy preservatives and still enjoy some tomato-ey cheesy goodness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have already started this idea, i found the inspiration on pinterest here</div>

okay so it doesn't look amazing but it tasted fantastic and i made every aspect of it apart from growing the veg myself so i think it was a pretty good start to home cooking my meals.</div>

I am definitely lusting over a pair of sensible heels for the colder months to pair with skinnies and sweaters.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also pretty excited that both of these jeans are in plus sizes, I have never bought plus size jeans from H&M or Forever 21 so it would be cool to see how they fit.</div>

I am unusually excited for autumn this year, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even with all the rain that's about to hit the rainiest place in Europe I am still feeling really enthusiastic about the change of the seasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This last week definitely started to feel like fall as the temperatures dropped so was the perfect excuse to start layering up with sweaters.</div>

I was recently contacted by a company called <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/">Firmoo</a> who offered to send me a free pair of glasses in return for a review. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I jumped at the chance and let me show you why...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fnVs1J88TAM/UDDfrwEjZhI/AAAAAAAAA5o/gMpt3vNXsIQ/s1600/IMG_2479.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fnVs1J88TAM/UDDfrwEjZhI/AAAAAAAAA5o/gMpt3vNXsIQ/s640/IMG_2479.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these are the glasses i have had for the last four years and as you can see they were on their last legs, lenses popping out and the colour so worn off it looked like i permanently had make up smudged on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KdezyRGimHA/UDDfJQOzo1I/AAAAAAAAA4M/LPyXgeMCFqM/s1600/IMG_2491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KdezyRGimHA/UDDfJQOzo1I/AAAAAAAAA4M/LPyXgeMCFqM/s640/IMG_2491.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://firmoo.com/">Firmoo</a> 's motto is <i>"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: italic;">Vision and Fashion the Frugal </span><wbr style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"></wbr></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><i>Way" </i> and you can certainly see why when you visit their site they </span>have a huge range of glasses to choose from with such low prices it was hard to choose one pair.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I umm ed and ah ed over the site for a few weeks until i narrowed it down to the following.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-1963.html"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.firmoo.com/frame-images/extra/201207/VJcd9sOPWV.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the matte black ones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And eventually i decided to go for....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vto3sIYOqFs/UDDougmntEI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/cNsS7YSK2Uw/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vto3sIYOqFs/UDDougmntEI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/cNsS7YSK2Uw/s640/photo.jpg" width="586" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last ones!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I must tell you I am so impressed by the <b>quality</b> of them, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was expecting them to maybe feel a little cheap in the materials or maybe they wouldn't look as good as they do online, but I was so wrong. they feel sturdy and durable and they fit fantastically!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are made of memory plastic which means when i inevitably sit on them by accident they just bounce right back into place and don't end up getting all wonky it is fantastic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/">Firmoo</a> is offering you guys the chance to bag yourself some FREE glasses too! just click <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-1336.html"><b>here</b></a>, choose your glasses (they do fashion glasses for those of you blessed with perfect eyesight) and then all you have to do is pay for shipping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so go go go! go and get yourself some brand new glasses for freee! (they ship all over the world so no excuses!) and let me know if you end up getting a pair so i can see what they look like!</div>

After my last trip home to Leicester I decided on a whim to use the majority of my baggage allowance lugging my old sewing machine back to Bergen!<br /><br /><br />Thankfully it managed to make it back almost in once piece, unfortunately I broke a tiny little clip that joined the extension table to it which now rattles around inside the machine, but all I'm all it works pretty well.<br /><br />I literally cannot fully express how many ideas I have sketched out in my head to make but luckily I can show you some of my most recent creations!</div>
<div class="bloggerplus_image_section">

<br />
<div align="center" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;">
One of the first things I attempted was this cute little roll up tote bag,<br />I found a fantastic tutorial <a href="http://stumblesandstitches.blogspot.com/2011/09/tutorial-roll-up-tote-bag.html" target="_blank">here</a><br /><br />It was super simple to make although I feel the bag itself is a little too small so I am working on changing up the design a little to help it accommodate all the stuff I like to lug around all day!</div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;">
The second thing I made, I made from entirely my own design,stupidly not writing down the measurements and completely messing up the copy I tried to make for my sister, woops live and learn.<br /><br />This baby now looks after my lovely new iPad, a fantastic gift from my mother!<br /><br />I definitely plan on making a bunch more of these once I can figure out the exact measurements again and hopefully put a few cuties up in the shop!</div>

<div align="center" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;">
Next up I used laminated cotton to make a handy sewing machine cover which has come in really useful because my apartment is apparently the spiritual home of dust (read, it's covered I'm it, no matter how much I dust!)<br /> And it will look super cute in my new craft corner in the new apartment which hopefully when I return to Bergen (I am currently on a plane heading for England where I will be for 5 weeks!!)</div>
<div align="center" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;">

The summer dress I made! I am seriously so proud of this baby, because despite a few minor issues this thing is actually good, I have worn it out to parties and on the beach in Nice and I felt so good!<br />Made out of jersey it is super light and can be worn without the sash for a looser dress (not entirely flattering on my frame but perfect over a bikini on the beach)<br />I definitely have plans to make some more clothes after the success of this one!</div>
<div align="center" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;">
And then last but not least I have been doing some refashioning of clothes I already own, like turning a pair of chinos with legs that were way to wide into a skinnier and more comfortable pair!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">It's pretty embarrassing really, neither of us have a complete recollection of how it all happened but here's the bits we can remember! One of my besties was visiting me and it was her last night so she of course wanted to go out but i was so tired that i said i didn't feel like going, luckily one of the girls who lived in the same student housing as me offered to accompany my friend to the student bar downstairs as long as they could pre drink in my room, they started drinking and the peer pressure kicked in, next thing i know i am downing the gin and getting my glad rags on, the bar was alright and we all got pretty hammered and then my friend got sick! :( so being the lovely best friend i am i let her have my bed and said i would give her a while to get some sleep before i came home, next thing i know i am at a floor party and making drunk eyes at the tall dark and handsome man.then it all goes blank! luckily the next morning (and nooo we didn't do that!!) he was super lovely and made me breakfast and asked for my number which i gave to him thinking yeah this isn't going to happen, but then he text me later that day and asked me to go on a date. so there it is not so romantic! we have already decided that we need to make up a better one to tell the grand kids </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">one day.</span></span></div>
