Practical....

This is my new hand blender for only £5

This is my new Tupperware set for only £4.

Serious about healthy eating ^-^. The blender is mainly for smoothies and soups but today I made banana ice cream, where you just blend a chopped frozen banana into a smooth paste it was so delicious. I got the Tupperware for holding weekly soups or just leftovers to freeze or refrigerate.

Also proper on a health kick, lost 2% body fat in a week feeling much better and totally guzzling water which is helping my skin really well. My immune system is also improving but I'm still on allergy pills.

Recipe: Turkey Mozzarella burgers

Turkey Mozzarella Burgers

-Turkey mince

-Mozzarella

-mixed herbs

-Salt and pepper

What to do:

Mix mince in a bowl with herbs and salt and pepper to taste.

Make into patties double the amount you're serving as half will make a topping.

Place a mozzarella piece in the middle, Top with a pattie.

Fry for 20-30 mins, check inside if cooked flipping several times.

These were delicious even my boyfriend liked them and he doesn't like healthy things usually. After this I had half an apple and two go yoghurt bars and I've almost drank a litre and a half of water which is so good.

Busy day

This was the view from the street when I was walking, it reminds me of silent hill.

Anyway yesterday was a really busy day, early in the morning I had a doctors appointment to sort this cold I've had for 5 months. That's not natural, so now I'm on anti-biotics, allergy pills and I have nasal spray too. Then I had my presentation for my dissertation which went a lot better than expected, after that I had to go to the clinic for my contraception where basically they told me I had only lost a kilogram which got me down this weight is becoming harder to shift but its hard to get back into a routine again for exercise but healthy eating is fine.

Lately the weather has been horrible but my new jumper is keeping me warm and I got some new boots which are like army style with studs I can't wait to wear them. Tonight I'm going to try and make turkey burgers which hopefully will go well.

Fitness

So this is the workout I did this morning, I can tell you it absolutely killed me. I can tell you lovelies now that I have never sweated from working out, apart from when I was 14 and we had to do P.E. compulsory. I usually do yoga, pilates and about 200 sit ups a day, so to get the rest of my body working I thought this would be good even though it included dreaded running, which I ran on the spot.

The jumping jacks killed me due to not having a sports bra, but I managed just like we used to in school. The crunches didn't bother me as I usually do them and the squats didn't bother me since I've included them in workouts before. The leg lifts were a little difficult as I was trying to keep my balance and then running for 10 minutes was the killer, I went in thinking okay 10 minutes not that long, after 5 minutes I was flagging, my boyfriend kept me motivated by counting down the clock but still by the end of it I was sweating which is what a good workout should do.

I eat healthy anyway so this isn't a problem but I have been avoiding temptations such as chocolate as its what my boyfriend always eats in front of me. But tonight since its chinese new year we're having a chinese takeaway to celebrate, I will try to pick the healthiest dish and avoid fried things apart from spring rolls I love them but we'll see what other starters they have. I also do a lot of cleaning round the house so that's helping me lose weight without realising, I don't use scales but last time I did which was just after christmas/new year I was 158lbs /71 kg when I used to be 145lbs/66Kg, I usually get my weight checked when I do my contraception and the next time that will be is February so we will see if my effort has paid off.

Anyway have to go, I have to start writing my dissertation whilst my boyfriend is out so I've got no distractions.

Sickness and Health

So recently i caught a stomach bug, which was last week. I actually thought i was going to die it was that bad, i caught it wednesday and decided to take thursday off from university just incase i could have passed it onto anyone else. I thought i was better friday but I started feeling really faint but i went to my lecture and tried my best.
From this sickness i lost some weight and i want to keep it off so i can get closer to my goal of 8st 12 although i will be quite sad if my curves disappear, i remember being 12 and always wanting hips so i could wear hipster jeans. So today i spent an hour on the wii fit, 30 mins doing general aerobic and muscle exercise and the other 30 mins doing yoga which is something i really love doing. I also went to the supermarket made a meal plan and got everything i needed for this week along with some christmas presents.

I have some exciting things coming up soon anyway so you might get some pictures of this, I am going to see dita von teese perform at the erotica 2010 in london this weekend which is like a dream for me as she encapsulates the sex appeal i want. And the weekend after i have a date with a guy i met at hed kandi we've been texting for over a week now since we met, which makes me get my hopes up a little but its meant to be a light hearted just see where it goes. In case any of you are wondering the previous guy i was with [my housemate] we figured it wasn't working and that we were just really close friends.

This has turned into a really long post, i'm sorry if any of you manage to read this i will be impressed though.
