A Day in my Life - 05.08.2015

I often think about doing a day in the life post but always think that it won't be interesting and it's not worth writing about, but I thought I'd do one this week as I've had a relatively productive day... although they are not massive tasks, I got done what I needed to and that's always good.

First things first, I went for my run as part of the Couch to 5K programme. I am on week 2 after successfully completing week 1 wahooooooo! So this means the time you run for has slightly increased which makes it more difficult, but I managed it. The overall aim is to work your way up to running 5K comfortably and I'm determined to complete it, it goes on for 9 weeks I believe, providing I keep up with it I should be a little bit fitter for my holiday.

After my run I went into town with my Sister and met my boyfriend too as he was already there, and we all had lunch together at a Wetherspoons. I tried to go for something big as we didn't have much in for dinner, so needed something to fill me up and it's worked, still not that hungry and I last ate about 6 hours ago. The actual reason for going into town was to get my dads birthday present as it's his birthday tomorrow and we'd only got cards so far.. and we still were not very successful - sorry Dad! Hopefully you enjoy your meal and aren't too down about the lack of presents your 'extremely thoughtful' daughters have got you...

Once I got in from town, I sorted through all of my emails- they just mount up so quickly! I feel much better now that they are all cleared and my inbox says 0.

One very important email I received was from GoThinkBig and it was giving me the opportunity to apply for work experience at a well known magazine which is something I've been looking for,for so long, so I was really happy about that and spent ages on my application so am keeping everything crossed than I get accepted for it. Wish me luck!

Just thought I'd try something different today, I hope you don't mind,

Getting fit!

So, I have been exercising...yes you heard correctly the girl who never exercises has decided to do so - Why?

In all honesty I have never really been bothered by exercising or getting fit,it crosses my mind occasionally but never that much that I want to do anything about it. I'm quite petite anyway wearing size 8-10 clothes, I'm happy at this size so often don't feel the need to go all out on exercise as I'm happy the way I am. I'm not the healthiest eater on the planet but I do try (not that hard) to keep an eye on what foods I put into my body,more so now than I've ever done before.
Although, you try and take chocolate away from me,you have a battle on your hands.

So the main reason I have started to add some exercise into my life is to get myself toned. I'm happy with what I have,I just want it to be less... jiggly. (Bum and things,I'm talking to you).

Later this year I am going on holiday for the first time in about 6/7 years, and I thought this would be a good thing to aim to get fit-ish for. The last time I went away I was 13,so wasn't really that bothered about what I looked like on a beach,but this time round I will be more into what clothes I wear and how I look in bikinis etc, as I'm older and you obviously feel different about things from 13 -20. I'm not overall that bothered about what I do look like but I thought this would be a good incentive to help me make the little changes I would like, to my body.

So how am I doing it?

On YouTube,I have found a channel run by Lucy Wyndham-Read and have been really enjoying her workouts, they are shorts videos that usually combine 2 high intensity exercises that you alternate between and do it from about 5-7 minutes,so I may do 2-3 of them in a session. Alongside that I recently purchased Charlotte Crosby's workout DVD and just looking at her transformation on the front makes me want put in my DVD player and do it. I also really enjoy swimming and living locally to a pool helps. At the moment I'm only doing about half an hours worth of exercise, but will be gradually building it up. So with those three activities combined, I should be as fit as anything by September!

I'll keep you updated...

Mini Life Catch Up

Hi Everyone!

There are some new people following which is exciting , so hello to you :)

Today's post is just going to be a catch up style one .

So recently I have decided that I would like to create a Scrapbook for memories and stuff, you get the idea. I want to create something really amazing so that I have something worth looking back through,when I'm older. Obviously I will be adding to it as I go through life,so I suppose it could be seen as a diary in a way too. I really want to put a lot of effort in to this and make it an exciting project to do. 

Has anyone done one before?

In a previous post I mentioned wanting to start exercising and tone up and....I have!
I mean I haven't necessarily seen any defining results,but I have come up with a little routine that I have managed to do 1-2 times a week for the last month, nothing that intense but it's a start! So hopefully I might be able to see some changes soon providing I keep it up (she says eating a jam doughnut)
Abs by Saturday? Yeah sure...

I was lucky enough to to get a chance to see the poppies at The Tower of London. So amazing. When you look at them in real life it just hits you and you just think "Wow" I really felt the impact and you can get more of an idea of how many soldiers we lost fighting as each poppy represents one of them.

Lest We Forget.

Each time I post I might add a little thing like this at the end

This one sums me up perfectly...

Thanks for reading!

Love Demi

Trying to be healthy!

So let me state some facts.

I probably have vegetables once a week,
It is rare you will see me with fruit
It is also rare to see me drinking water
It is basically a given that you will never see me doing exercise.

I want to change this.



I have quite a small frame so I am not trying to lose weight as that would be unhealthy the opposite of what I am aiming to achieve.

I have always just brushed away the thought of doing exercise ,I like the idea but never ever do it. I used to think (maybe selfishly?) "Oh I'm small anyway I don't need to do anything". However now I realise that I do want to exercise to tone my body,not to lose weight.

I have started by doing some bike rides and swimming a couple of times a week. (This is only week two of the whole healthy thing,so not much has happened yet!) but I really do want to keep this routine up. Over time I would like to change up what I do but for now this is just fine. I really want to become stronger as well; not like body builder Jodie Marsh style - just fitter and stronger as I am quite a weakling I must admit. I've always liked the idea of yoga,I think it is a very me exercise ,nothing too instense, more gentle and relaxing.

I have slacked a little bit the last few days,but for 7 days straight I only drank water and fruit drinks, nothing fizzy, which for me is an achievement. I really got used to it and didn't feel like I wanted anything fizzy. I also wasn't wanting chocolate as much and that is very very unusual. I had a chocolate bar left on my desk for a whole week until I actually decided to eat it!

So at the moment I am being just that little bit more conscious of what I'm eating and drinking. It's not too bad, you just need to stick with it and persevere! If I can do it,you definitely can!

If you have any exercises you think I should try or healthy snacks and foods to try ,do not hesitate to help me out, it would be highly appreciated.

One thing though - I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY CHOCOLATE. That is all :)

I hope you enjoyed this post,

Lots of Love,
