Summer Lover!

Wow so far this summer has been amazing! British people are still complaining though - Its too hot blah blah. I do complain but only when its cold as I hate it! Because I haven't posted in a while I will do a run up of what I've been up to up until now.
1st June was a friends birthday and we all went to Essex for a night out to celebrate.

Bec, Tori, me, Lydia and Amy.
For most of the night it was good but I don't think it is somewhere I'd go out again, a bit disappointing.

Then it was my Beautiful God-daughter Maizie's 1st birthday where Lydia threw a little party for her which was good. I really can't believe she is 1 already - it has gone so fast!

Maizie Louise
Kathleen also came down for Maizies birthday and she came out into town with Amy and I - I drove obviously, I am boring like that :)

We went go-karting with Amy and her new 'friend' It was a great day out and so much fun. 



My training has been going really well and I am happy to say I have picked it up hugely this last 2 months. I have done a bit of a 6 week plan on exercises and I am slowly getting there with my diet! I have been practicing my push ups lots and am really trying on my chin ups/pull ups which I suck at but am trying by assisting myself up and lowering.

one day...
Ryan and I went on a lovely bike ride to Cardiff Bay with his mom and dad which was great - again another very sunny day and we ended up having a couple of drinks and sharing a burger at the bay. Another one of my favourite things to do!

This Summer weather has been the best I ever remember in this country and really has made the year so far for me. Next time I will be seeing sun like this will be in South Africa in January so I am really making the most of it! With lots of sunbathing and a few trips to the beach. 3 weekends ago Ryan, 3 of his friends and myself went to Barry Island Beach - first time I have been and I was pleasantly surprised as I have heard horrible tales aout it - turned out to be quite nice!
Lots of sunbathing

So far so good. We spent a great weekend in Bristol last weekend but that's for another post - I'm off to bed!

Beginning of fitness journey

Bit of insight into where my interest in fitness started ... As far back as I can remember I have always had insecurities about my weight, this probably stems from my darling brother! I was a chubby baby/child I guess, but he very kindly nicknamed me Oros - In South Africa, Oros is the name of the mascot for an orange squash. Although I was never overweight or fat in any way, it stuck with me that I was the chubby one - my sisters and brother are all skinny! I was a pretty average achiever. I always wanted to do more where athletics/sports team etc were concerned but was never great enough to stand out. I was the one that always went to practice but wasn't noticed, I preferred to mold into the back ground if I wasn't outstanding. I once did a race in primary school, the whole school was there to watch, I think I was coming like 3rd from the back and I didn't like it so pretended I hurt my foot so I didn't need to finish! Naughty naughty! I'm on the lef...

Ladies day in Bath, Taff trail ride to Cardiff Bay, Back day

On Friday 19th it was a good friend of mine, Tori's 22nd birthday. For Tori's 21st 5 of us went to Paris, her mom, her moms friend Sue, Bec, Tori and myself. So as an anniversary to that we all spent the day in Bath for shopping and Lunch. Eiffel Tower last year We had an amazing time in Paris, so many laughs and I saw so much, would never have been able to go there if it wasn't for Tori's mom Liz. We went to the Lido, took a tour bus around Paris and I had the BEST Meal I've ever eaten in a retaurant called the 'Music Hall' Its a club really but you sit down and eat, the most beautiful waiters/waitresses serve you and the food was incredible - especially the white chocolate mouse pudding!! The 5 of us at the Lido Anyway, so we went to Bath on the train on Friday. As classy as it gets with mini bottles of Champagne to hand - I didn't drink as I was driving to Ryan's that evening so I stuck to good old water. Bec and Sandra (liz'z ...

Drinking 3 litres of water challenge

So if you read my previous blog you will see that I am doing a year long challenge of trying to develop healthy habits. Every 21 days I will be picking a new habit and doing my best to stick with it in order to become a healthier person. I started this journey on 1st September and the first habit I attempted was drinking a minimum of three litres of water everyday. At the same time I started a YouTube channel as i hoped I could document the journey a bit better. I am so incredibly rusty on video though and don't think I really get across the true nature of what I am trying to achieve and hope the blog will help do just that. YouTube- drinking 3 litres I chose this habit as I know there are numerous benefits to drinking lots of water and find that it isn't a hard habit to get into but once you've got it it is easy to maintain. Although I'm not the worst at maintaining my hydration levels, I did find it took conscious effort to drink so much every single day...
