Firstly i think i should probably do a little health/fitness update... soo, for the whole month of june i think i was exceptionally good, i stuck to around 1200 cals a day and did about an hour and 20 mins of cardio 6 days a week, i think i lost about 10lb that month. However at the end of the month i ended a relationship that i had been in for over a year, from there things went a bit bad and i haven't really got back on track since. For the whole of July i more or less kept up my excercize but i didn't eat very healthy, and its starting to make me feel a bit rubbish, i said to myself that by the time i go back to uni in september i want to fit into my size 12 jeans, and although i can get them on and do them up now (something i hadn't been able to do for over a year) i still have a muffin top when i put them on. It's not only that but, i also don't think i enjoy being unhealthy and eating what i 'want' all the time, it gets boring, treats aren't really treats anymore, and im starting to not enjoy food, and i feel like i enjoyed it more when i was being stricter, i would look forward to every meal, every 40 calorie hot chocolate before bed, every meal out once in a while when i let myself have what i want, but now i'm eating whatever whenever and it's not special anymore. I feel like because i've been off track for so long its so hard to get back on, i say to myself every night that tommorow will be different but it never really is. I have about a month and a half before uni starts again and i want to get back to being healthy and happy like how i was for all of June. And with that hopefully i will be able to loose some more weight and reach my goal :) I want this so badly and i don't know whats stopping me, i guess nothing is, apart from me...
Anyway enough of that for now! Time for something fun. So yesterday my parents took me to Bicester Village in Oxford which is basically a designer shopping outlet and i think they have cheaper prices than the normal prices, at first i felt really out of place, not thin enough, not pretty enough, not good enough clothes to be in a place like that, but after a while i just thought i might aswell enjoy it, i love looking at all the clothes/shoes/bags/jewellrey, even if i can't really afford it, so i just looked around and it was so good! My Dad (very unexpectedly) said that as we were there we had to get something and asked if there was anything i liked, and i looked around all the shops and the only thing that stuck out to me was the bags in Michael Kors, i just love most of the bags in that shop, most of the styles i liked. So i chose the 'Hamilton' (i think thats what its called) and its the bigger size of the two that were availible, if my Dad was going to spend this much money on a bag i want it to be one i can use everyday for uni to fit folders in etc, and i just love bigger bags anyway! So here is my bag and also a little 'Whats in my Bag' :D
I don't my bag is actually a new bag that has come out recently i think it may be an older style, i tried to look for it online, and i found a similar one but it wasn't exactly the same! Anyway, my Dad paid £249.00 for the bag and it says the original price was £375.00, not sure how true that is, but i think it was worth the price and i love it, and i'm sure i'll be using it for years to come!
