So, I had to mentally prepare myself to start today. I don’t think anyone is ever successful at anything in life unless they’re in the right mindset to do it. No more fizzy drink, no more junk food, no more treat days everyday. We did it once, so we know we can do it again. There’s no goal this time, we just want to feel healthier and better within ourselves. A lil detox cleanse I guess, but more of a lifestyle change. Today is going to be super hard, but we’ll do it, and I know by documenting our journey here on this blog, it’ll help us stay accountable and on track.

Breakfast – 200 calories + coffee. 
I’ve missed our porridge in the morning! Made with coconut milk & topped with granola and frozen berries. We love this breakfast! 💗
1 litre of water
Lunch – Shake & a cortado ☕️💕 204 calories. What would I even do without costa?!
1 litre of water
Afternoon snack – Tesco cereal bar & mini bag of popcorn – altogether – 133 calories.
Dinner – 440 calories.
1 litre of water

Ending today on 987 calories, although the plan is to have a cuppa tea & snack later on this evening, which will be a mini packet of chocolate animals at under 100 calories. We find having a snack in the evening really helpful, & the gap between dinner and going to bed doesn’t feel too long or daunting.
I’ve had so many lovely messages today from people on Instagram, loads of really lovely meal ideas & recipes, so I’m feeling super motivated and positive about our new lifestyle.
If you’re currently healthy eating, or changing your lifestyle habits & want daily motivation or support, or even if you just want to stay up to date with our progress, make sure you click on either of my links below, I use both twitter and Instagram all of the time & constantly posting! 💗

We booked a night away, & went out for a Chinese tonight, it’s been so lovely. 
We’re currently back in our hotel room, in bed, watching love island. Of course. We’ve eaten M&S red & black wine gums, & salted chocolate pretzels.. all of our lovely friends & family have sent us such sweet messages today, which has meant the world to us.
Lots of love, 
I absolutely love it. It’s so on trend, and the colours, I feel will go really nicely with the walls and furniture that we have ordered. This bedding set is from NEXT but I’ve also seen it available in a few other places online too. Asda also have some really gorgeous on trend bedding sets at the moment, so there’s a high chance I may end up purchasing a back up duvet just in case. I love this one though & I’m really excited to get it on our bed & see what it looks like once we’ve decorated.
(yep that’s the same cup as they have in Love Island, but I had it first!)
Dinner was suuuuuuper late this evening. It was a quick and easy dinner, chicken nuggets, salad and new potatoes. Simple and SO good! 
As I write this blog post now, we’re currently watching Love Island (of course!) with our evening snack of a mini pack of chocolate digestives at under 100 calories per bag. Can I just say, Michael is a toooooootal dick. I think the whole nation are laughing at him now. I can’t stand amber anyway but..
We are currently watching an episode of my 600 pound life, and eating strawberry jelly. We’re off to buy paint tomorrow to start decorating on Thursday! Ordered new things for our bedroom today too, I can’t wait for it to all be done.
Very yummy! And so filling too.
it’s my absolute favourite thing to do. These three albums are all full now & I still have about 100 photos needing albums to be homed in! I’m going to fill more and more, creating memories is special, but documenting them and keeping them forever is everything.
So today, is day one. Although I’m not sure I’m going to count each day this time round.. we don’t really have a goal, obviously we want to lose what we gained whilst we were off plan, & by Christmas we’d love to have lost a significant amount of weight just so that we feel really good about ourselves, but there’s no goal, no numbers, no deadlines or targets. We just want to continue living our best lives, with a healthy mindset and all the energy! Diets – healthy eating plans, definitely should always start on a Monday! Who agrees?
I’m still to get through my first litre of water of the day, but I’m aiming for 3 litres per day. A fourth litre will be a bonus (Tazmyn always manages more water than me!) & of course, many, many cortado’s from costa! What would we even do without costa?! We haven’t meal planned yet this week, but we’ll do that at some stage, & try to keep our meals this week all pretty basic, and low calorie so we know where we are. Tonight, we’re having red lentil pasta, with chicken and reduced fat red pesto. I add loads of spinach and peas to it as well to bulk it out & it’s really filling.
I hope you’re all well!
For pudding I had a choux bun filled with mascarpone and strawberries and my tummy is still so full, but it was amazing. You opened the car door for me & kept telling me how pretty I looked all night. 
I adore you.
