Healthy Start

My post pregnancy bod is starting to get me down so I am making a conscious effort to try and eat healthier and do more.

I was so scared when I fell pregnant that I would put on all the weight that I tried so hard to lose back in 2012-2013.  I had just go to the weight I wanted and was fitting into Zara clothes and top shop clothes for the first time ever which has really boosted my confidence.  At the end of the pregnancy my fears were realised as I weighed in at the biggest I have ever been.

It was hard work before and I was training for the marathon so that helped with the motivation, but this time around I know I can do it, and I know how the end goal feels!

I have signed up to some new mum baby classes up at the children's centre which started this week and have tried some new healthier food combinations.

Today I tried bagel with hummus, avacado and black pepper! Soooo tasty :!

I have lost 3 stone in the last 3 or 4 years and I've gone from being a size 18-20 to 14-16.  I'm definitely not where I want to be yet and I am still not happy with how I look, but sometimes I find outfits that I'm happy in and I feel confident in.

As a bigger person I don't really every truly feel comfortable going out and I never feel like outfits really sit as well as they would if I was smaller, but sometimes an outfit comes together that makes me happy when I go out.  (I don't know about you but if an outfit is wrong it can make me feel so uncomfortable that it will pretty much ruin almost any occasion).

It tends to be the plain outfits that actually end up looking the best.  This was a new cardigan that I saw and loved in Noa Noa and as it was in the sale I had to snap it up.  I love the neutral colours and the plain front and the back is just so different with the silk polka dot panel at the back.

I have found that plain tees work really well in hiding a multitude of sins that lie underneath.  Pair this with the right jeans that are right for your body shape, and this can be a really flattering look.

I paired these with some classic shoes and some delicate jewellery and it was a good outfit day.
