I’ve decided to move across to somewhere new and continue this blog. I’ve moved all my content so please take a look at www.thefatgirlguide.com to keep following my journey!
So last weekend I celebrated my best friends Hen do. I've been planning for it for months so I knew the weekend would be a write off for food. What I didn't anticipate however is how much fitness we'd fit into the weekend. Firstly we did Go Ape which is a tree top adventure and involved climbing ladders and cargo nets, I am now covered in bruises and may or may not have developed frost bite in my fingers and toes. Then after a few drinks we decided it would be a great idea to take on some of the fitness challenges that we'd seen on youtube. Of course I filmed these... Below you will find the Cha Cha slide Plank challenge and the Sally up Squat Challenge, as you will see, my form is terrible for both but I will blame this on the alcohol. It was a hen do after all! The whole weekend was a barrel of laughs, I ate my weight in bad food and a fair bit of alcohol was consumed but I still managed to get in some fitness, even if it was silly fitness. 4 weeks unt...
Everyone needs to enjoy life and the way I choose to do that is by going on holiday. Usually for everyone, apart from those people that base their holiday around gym facilities, a holiday means taking a step back from your race to get fit and eat healthy and it means a few days (sometimes longer) to really pig out and enjoy yourself. I live by this rule but since starting this journey I've started adding a few new rules in to do some damage limitation when enjoying yourself on Holiday. My Top Tips Don't say no to treats while you are on holiday, you've paid to enjoy yourself and if you're going to the home of Pizza and Gelato then it wouldn't be right to avoid those foods. Just make sure you have an understanding of the food contents and that will help you make conscious menu choices where you can. Look for opportunities to be more active, what better way to take in the real vibe from a City than to explore it on foot. Buses and Metros are great for tho...
Its safe to say that unless you've been hiding under a rock, you'll be aware that this weekend the UK was hit with a big dusting of the white stuff. So how did the snow affect me and my mission to become fit? Well... honestly, it threw me off the waggon a bit. Being snowed in and off work means eating everything in sight. I managed to get to work on Thursday before the snow hit and because it was cold I sought comfort in the Big yellow M and tucked in to some chicken nuggets. I decided that I'd rather be stranded with my friend if I was going to be snowed in rather than being at home so I got some supplies, not your normal milk and bread, I opted for diet coke, strawberries, bacon and yoghurt then I headed off to Emily's when the snow started. We'd planned a healthy dinner of Honey mustard chicken, vegetables and sweet potato followed by some protein pancakes and fruit it was lovely and definitely 6 pack friendly but then somehow I'd also managed to scoff an ...
