A quiet night in

Whilst most other people my age are probably out drinking, doing things they'll regret in the morning - if they can even remember what they were up to, I've stayed home doing more productive things.. Like cooking dinner, working out and now watching The Holiday again..

Ok, so watching a film might not be all that prouctive, but I would much rather do that than stumbling around town - it's been a long week! Now I'm surrounded by candles, drinking tea and having a few bites of chocolate as a little treat.. TGIF!

Have a good night!

Just in time

Like millions of other people, I've decided to excercise more in 2013.. Not that I didn't in 2012, but I want to be more active this year - more walks, and more excercise in general throughout the week.. Now that I have a car, it's even more important to make a conscious effort as I used to walk a fair bit!

So as a little motivational booster, I ordered some new fitness clothing - which arrived on Monday.. Just in time for the New Year! Talk about timing.. I also got a free mug -safe to say I was well excited!

All from Sports Direct..

And it only cost me £11 - combined!! God, I love a bargain.. So much so that I have placed another order for kettlebells, new dumbells and a new pair of tights..

Happy New Year!

Cheers, I'll drink to that

What a productive day!

I bounced out of bed at 9am this morning, and just knew that it was going to be a good day.. I left the house less than an hour later and headed into town for a haircut.. Although I was told that my hair was shot to hell, the lovely lady was able to work miracles and I feel like a new person!

I also feel like the cold is finally ready to say bye for now, so I'm all smiles.. To celebrate I finished my first workout in weeks.. Although I thought I was about to be sick at one point,  and think I'm about to cough up my guts, I'm feeling pretty good!! Gotta love those endorphins..

Hope you're all having a happy, healthy Friday :)

Moose Coffee

Evening all :)

How's your weekend been?

I've had a lovely couple of days, but have also struggled with the old "temple" which is not on my team these days! Achey..

Anyways, thought I would share a tip with you; If you like a big breakfast - American/Canadian style and you're ever in Liverpool, you simply have to go to Moose Coffee... The portions are sooo big and the food is amazing :)

My favourite has to be their pancakes with maple sirup and smoked, streaky bacon.. Yeah buddy!

Check out their website here.

We also made it through the second season of Boardwalk Empire today and as I don't have Sky, my life is pretty empty.. Guess we have to wait for the third season to come out on dvd.. What to watch in the meantime??!

Oh well, for now I guess I'll keep myself busy with a workout..

Btw can you believe it's October tomorrow already? New week, new month - new opportunities!

I promise there will be more fashion this week, so stay tuned..

Laters!

Just do it

If I'm lucky enough to get some cash for my birthday I've decided to get some new fitness clothing :) Whilst I would reserve most for boring things like food and bills, I would definitely treat myself to some new gear in order to boost my motivation.. But to be honest, I'll probably get it anyways.. Money well spent! As I love Nike, I was thinking something like this...

New week, new opportunities - get your sporty on!

Eye of the tiger

Good morning all!

I feel like a regular Rocky Balboa today. Only my Apollo Creed is a cold. Like Rocky, though - I can win!

Last night was spent like this...

Whilst this morning I conquered the urge to stay in bed just a little bit longer and got to it. No raw eggs, but it still did the trick.. Yeah buddy!

Now I'm a little bundle of energy :) Be sure to stop by later for Bargain Tuesday!

See you later!

Easy does it

Good morning! I can't believe it's finally Friday :)

Last night I went back to the park and got so excited that I actually started running without even realising at first. I don't run.. Ever.. Not because I don't want to, but because my knees won't allow it.. I might give it another whirl though, as I felt amazing afterwards!

When I got home, I made myself a strawberry/blueberry smoothie to celebrate my good effort..

Then I had a whole bowl of popcorn whilst watching 2 Broke Girls... Ooops

Sporty spice

I reckon what you wear - even when you're working out - has a big impact on how you feel.

To boost my motivation, I want these little gems :)

Top - Nike // Shoes - Reebok // Sports tights - H&M

Just looking at sportswear has got me in the mood for a workout. Depending on what the weather is like when I get home, I might go for another walk in the park. The good thing about it being quite dodgy is that I'll have to move quicker! Win-win..
