Another Few Days I

Hey guys!

This weeks post is going to be a random little update.

1. I  started knitting yesterday! Woohoo! I've had the needles and yarn for a while now but only got around to using them yesterday so there's no "masterpiece" to show as of yet.

2. My little sister is obsessed with candles and incense sticks. Any opportunity she gets to use them so she does. Not that it's a bad thing! I wouldn't say the smell is soothing or  anything but the presence of a candle/ incense stick is...

I'm sorry this post is so short! I feel like I don't have much to talk about but I didn't want to go another week without posting anything: Can't disappoint my millions of readers :P

Take care,

New Look Haul

Hello guys!

This week's post is going to be on my recent New Look haul. The majority of the items here I bought online with a couple of items that I bought in store. I haven't actually worn anything yet so I can't really review it... It's basically going to be a list of my purchases.

So let's jump right in!

-Dress- I bought the dress for £19.99 in New Look only last week. It was a spur of the moment purchase which is pretty unusual for me. However the dress was too pretty to leave behind!

-Earrings- These were purchased at £3.99 when I went to collect my online order in store. It was the really small blacks studs that swayed me.

-Loafers- I got these for £7.00 online (thank the sales!) and they are now the first pair of coloured shoes I own.

-Socks- I bought shoes so I can't not buy socks right? I got these for 50p each. They're originally £1.99 per pair so I was pretty happy with the bargain.

-Snood- My sisters both have snoods and wear them all the time in winter so I thought it was about time I got myself one as well. It was in the sale section of New Look too and only cost me £1.00.

-Beanie- I bought the beanie in the hope that I could pull it off but sadly I can't. It was also £1.00 online so I guess I didn't lose too much money by buying it.

-Jumper- I've wanted a cowl neck jumper for a while now and seeing this on the New Look website for £10.00 was really a beautiful sight. Needless to say, it was the quickest to go in the basket.

And that's all peeps!

Weight Loss Progress

Hello again guys!

Now this post is one I have intended to write for a while but I've just never got around to doing so. 

I've always been a chubby kid and that's affected me since I can remember in terms of my self confidence. It wasn't as bad when I was in primary school or at the beginning of secondary school. Maybe my naivety as a child helped me overlook my weight but as I got older I found it harder to stop my weight stopping me from little things I wanted to do: like wearing things I wanted to or doing certain activities. 

No one ever made mean comments about my weight or anything (for which I'm grateful) but I would (still do sometimes) find myself feeling paranoid that people are probably talking about my weight behind my back.

Now, I've always gone through phases where I was really keen to lose weight and get fit, but not seeing results fast enough had me feeling demotivated and ended in me giving up.

This was til around a year and a bit ago...

After sixth form, something in me switched on and I was making changes, albeit small, for the best. From cutting out little unhealthy snacks to working out on a regularly basis. The results since then have been great! 

I am yet to reach my "ideal body/weight" and I still find myself losing motivation and gaining a few pounds now and then. However, I'm proud of how far I've come and I hope to see more changes over the year.

Now the verbal diarrhea is out of the way, the numbers:

Height: 156cm

HW: 70.4kg

CW: 58.3kg

Weight tracked in 2014

This post is meant to be the introduction if you like to my weight loss story and I hope to update my weight loss progress every now and then.

Thank you for reading!

Take care,

Santhiya
