In sickness and in health

So since my holiday I have come down with a nasty cold and cough so thought I’d share my experience of what I do when sickness hits. Honestly it depends on how I feel... a lot of people say that you should sweat it out and work through it, maybe they are right? My opinion is that if I can’t breath due to being all blocked up or if I start coughing from simply walking then I probably shouldn’t be pushing myself! If I am not at least 75% of myself then I’ll be staying at home and focusing on rest and relaxation. My theory is that if you’re working out and your not feeling yourself then your form won’t be great and you’re more likely to injure yourself so it’s better two take a day or two to get over what you have than to go at it with poor form and risk injury. When it comes to eating I find that although I crave crap food when feeling poorly it’s better to stick to food with maximum nutrition, lots of vegetables to help build up energy and fight off the bugs. Luckily after two d...

Let me start with by telling you a little about myself and why I am starting this Blog 'The fat girl guide to getting fit' I am Rhiannon, I am 27 and for the last 10 years of my life I have been a little on the large side.

When I hit 15 I stopped working out, got a boyfriend and I assumed that I could continue to eat to my hearts content, boy was I wrong! I have a great love of food (My parents are chefs), I also have a massive sweet tooth and could sit and demolish a 24 box of jaffa cakes in one sitting and then reach for a cadburys cream egg or 4. Before I knew it I was 23 years old, almost 18 stone and a size 22. The realisation that I couldn't continue the way I was came in 2013 when shopping for a Birthday dress. Not being able to shop in the "Normal" clothes shops left me feeling deflated and unhappy. I searched and se...

Divine Divas

I guess what they preach is true, when you think positively about yourself your whole perspective changes. After the success of fitting into my bridesmaids dress I was riding the wave, feeling positive, feeling beautiful and most of all I was feeling confident in my own skin for the first time in a while.  This was the first time I actually thought fuck it and wore whatever I wanted including closes that are not usually worn by 'larger women' such as high waist jeans.  I decided to take this journey of confidence one step further and after months and months of thinking about it and putting it off I bit the bullet and booked a boudoir shot. I'd been tempted to book it back in October when my self esteem and moral was at an all time low due to a tough breakup but I really wasn't feeling very sexy, especially after finding out my Ex had been messaging other women behind my back. That really gives you a knock in the confidence department.  Luckily a childhood fr...
