Weight Loss Update – Summer Body Ready??

Posted on July 15, 2020July 15, 2020 by Lucy

It’s been a good few weeks since my last weight loss update, so I thought it was time to share my progress. As some of you know, I started my journey in January 2020 using Exante meal replacements. I used mostly the milkshakes, which I really enjoyed and also tried some of the bars too….

Living La Vida Lockdown!

Posted on July 5, 2020July 5, 2020 by Lucy

I know you’re probably all fed up of hearing about lockdown, I know I am! We’ve reached day 105 and it’s still officially not over.  Although places are starting to open their doors again, it’s not going to be the same as before this happened. If you’re like me and have been at home trying…

My Weight Loss Begins Now – Week 6

Posted on February 27, 2020 by Lucy

I’ve not written about my diet story for a few weeks, so I thought I’d give you all an update.  I’m now into week 6, and my losses have been really minimal.  I’m following the Exante diet, which is mainly a meal replacement system.  There’s a few different paths to follow but I mostly stick…

Valentine’s Day……. Love it or hate it??

Posted on February 13, 2020 by Lucy

Whenever I ask people what they think about Valentine’s Day, I’m always met with mixed reviews. Usually it’s along the lines of, it’s just another way of making us spend money or it’s far too commercialised. However, for me I like the whole lovey-dovey stuff that comes with it! Why Bother? It’s Just A Manufactured…

My Weight Loss Begins Now – Week 3

Posted on February 4, 2020 by Lucy

Week 3 of my diet has now been completed, and I’m impressed that I’ve not yet caved and given up.  Me and diets usually have a lot of commitment issues, and I find going our separate ways is usually the happiest outcome!  My love for takeaways hasn’t diminished but I haven’t had one so far. …

What To Feed Picky Eaters?

Posted on February 2, 2020February 2, 2020 by Lucy

The title image of this post appeared on my Facebook timeline this week, and it made me smile. Just recently I’ve become the (slightly frustrated)  owner of a couple of picky eaters myself, and it really limits the meals I can cook! If you have any recipes or advice please feel free to add comments!…

My Weight Loss Begins Now – Week 2

Posted on January 28, 2020 by Lucy

I’ve managed to stick to my diet for a second week, and it’s not gone too badly.  I’m following the Exante diet plan, which means I’m only consuming 800-1000 calories a day.  I thought that hunger would be a problem, being on such a low calorie daily allowance but I’m surprised to say it hasn’t…

Pin-spiration, My Latest Sewing Challenge!

Posted on January 26, 2020January 26, 2020 by Lucy

I’ve recently started to use Pintrest to look for clothing ideas and styles.  A few things have caught my eye and I started thinking that maybe I could sew something to recreate the look that I’m after.  So, using Pintrest as my “Pin-spiration”, let me tell you about my first challenge. I spotted this off…

I’m Definitely Not Staying In The UK Next January!

Posted on January 17, 2020January 17, 2020 by Lucy

I know I’m not alone in feeling some January blues, but it feels worse this time as last year we went abroad.  I do remember being slightly stressed about going on holiday so quickly after Christmas, but now in hindsight it was definitely nicer than spending time in the UK! We went to Lanzarote, and…
