The Flat Tummy Club

Hey guys this is just a quick one to tell you about this new book i have been reading which in turn has inspired me so much i am getting ready to walk an hour to work!

 in the cold and possible rain people!!? 

this book must be doing something rightt!

the blurb says:

Depressed by her expanding waistline, Kate Adams set out to lose weight - and keep it off for good. Six months later and over two stone lighter she decided to share her experiences and set up the Flat Tummy Club. 

Now you too can become a member by following the foolproof Flat Tummy Club Diet:

1. Do the Flat Tummy Inquisition to work out where exactly your spare tyre comes from.

2. Beat the bloat and shed up to 7lbs in a week with the 7-day Jump Start.

3. Swap in the Top 20 Flat Tummy Foods to keep you on the straight and narrow-waisted.

4. Keep your flat tummy forever with tips to help you maintain your willpower when stress, holidays and work start getting in the way.

I say:

I haven't finished this book so far as i have only read week 1 of the plan it includes but i cannot tell you how inspired i feel by the first chapters 

(not even including the plan its self) 

The author knows her stuff 

and better yet when i'm reading it i don't feel like its all sciency jargon i don't understand.

 She talks about the need to tailor make a diet and not to just blindly follow a crazy one. 

she also talks about looking at the root of our  unhealthy and unhappy habits. 

after reading the first half of this book i woke up this morning at 6:30 

(usually i drag myself out of bed at 8) 

and have decided that to save the bybane money 

(another of my resolutions was to get debt free by 24) 

I am going to set off an hour and 15 mins before work and walk all the way to work!

so call me crazy, call me weird but check out this book -

 i downloaded it to my kindle and LOVED IT <3

also there us a website if you guys want to look a bit further into it

The Flat Tummy Club

also i forgot to mention yesterday but many of you found me anyways i am on MFP too

It's that time of year again

Time to make a lot of goals that will most likely be forgotten in a few weeks

but

 not this year, 

this year i am setting myself some reachable (i hope) 

sensible (i think) 

goals to achieve by January 2013

 ... that is if we make it that far ;)

1. Start and finish a quilt

My wonderful aunt got me this book for Christmas

and i have already got started on something 

2. Do much more knitting
i am such an old lady ;)
3.  Take photos everyday

now that i have a brand new camera i want to make the most of it and really work on my photography skills
4. Get more focused with my blog writing
sometimes i feel like i really just write any old rubbish and then fill in the rest of the week with random link ups, which although i do love them i kind of want to add a bit more original writing too.
5. Lose weight, get fit and healthy
this is of course a standard in almost everyone's new years resolutions, this year i am completely serious in wanting to make a change.

I will be discussing my goals later this week as part of the above weekly link up thing (yeah i know i said not as many link ups but i didn't say none at all!)

6. Get (mostly) debt free before i am 24
discounting my student loans as they will probably haunt me forever! i plan to be debt free by May this year, that way i can really work on saving towards my future.

7. Train for a 5k
hopefully i will be completing one with a colleague later this year.

8. Work on appreciating who i am and how i look
kind of says it all above.



So there it is 8 reasonable goals to start of my 2012


Happy New Year!!!
