Weekly Weigh In Week 8

I am so disappointed in myself I've gained 1lb this week it's not much but after 3 weeks of no change in weight is so annoying for it not to be a loss for me and my bmi went up to 31.55.

I've been able to go to the gym more often this week I've been eating better apart from last night which was a cheat night. I just am really wanting to lose weight faster than this and because I'm not it's beginning to make me lose interest. 

In my self I see no physical change to me even in photos I've taken but my family say they can which is nice to here. 

I realise I'm not someone who can go to the gym and just lose it like I thought it was going to be. My weight is just up and down and I don't know what to do.

The gym I go to isn't very big in the machines it has and when you compare it to other gyms you can really tell it doesn't have much there. I've started using other machines by myself but I'm a bit more worried to start with the weights because it's always busy in that part of the gym and I don't want to look stupid and be the only girl in there. I would really like to start using them but I will definitely need to be shown how to use them so I do it properly without hurting my self. 

After so long of saying I want to start measuring my self I'm finally doing it so this will be the first week for that and then I'm not sure whether I will do it monthly or weekly for it. Maybe even every 2 weeks I'll do it and check.

Left arm - 31cm
Right arm - 31cm
Left leg - 62cm
Right leg - 62cm
Stomach - 99cm
Bust - 109cm
Chest - 93cm

I have no idea if that's what I'm supposed to measure but that's what I'll stick to for now till I found out what I am supposed to do and I've decided I'll measure again in 2 weeks time so on my 10th week il update and fingers crossed this will help me realise going to the gym is making a difference in the way I look even if it's the smallest measurement. 

Thanks for reading leave a comment let me know if I've missed any measurements or measured the wrong thing knowing myself there's a good chance of that.

Primark Haul August

Hello me again with another primark haul it's harder for me to get to primark now as I live away from town after moving. 

I probably now only go in there once every two/three months I think.

Let's just go on to what I got.

Lace foot socks for work and you get 2 in a pack for £2.50.

Beauty blenders I do have a real techniques one bit I'm hoping these are a cheaper version I can use they do feel quite nice and I can't wait to give them a try. This was £1.50.

Foot cushions which I got for work which I will use for my new shoes when I start wearing them I picked up 2 packs so I can use them for the pair after as well. They where £2 each.

Needed some extra ones I got these last time and I just love them perfect to leave them in the bathroom and take on holiday without getting anything else wet in my bag. The idea of them I just really like it. It was 80p

Pack of false nails I really wanted to get the ps pro range for these but they had none in so I picked these hopefully they'll be ok. It was only £1.

False lashes I also wanted these in the ps pro range but again they had none. This was £1.

A navy blue towel to take with me to the gym as all I have at the minute is a pink one. This was £2.80.


Gym leggings the band is a bit more brighter than it is in the picture. It's basically mainly black with a bead print down the side and then covers the bottom. This was £8.


Workout vest to match the leggings it's a cross strap along the back with like a bead print along the front and down centre down the back it was £6.

Pink gym top and it really is quite a bright pink colour. I have the exact same top but in purple. This was £4.


Leggings for the gym still not sure what I think of these but they fit me ok. They have a white strip all the way down the side of the leg and then as you get to just below the knee it has a mesh triangle piece that goes to the bottom which I like and they where £8.

Weekly Weigh In Week 7

This week I've lost weight but again it hasn't been enough to make it go down a pound.

The only thing that's changed is my bmi so last week my bmi was 31.43 and this week it's 31.34 better than nothing I guess.

I really need to start measuring myself to actually hopefully realise I'm achieving more that way than in weighing because that would be really nice to see even if it's  centimetres I'd be really happy and it will probably motivate more to do it.

I've not been able to get in the gym as much again as I've done 6 hour shifts again and it's pretty much a workout at work anyway and when I do go I've forgotten to eat something so I become tired more quickly which means I can't stay there for as long as I want to.

Still would like to continue my goal of losing 2lb for next week as I didn't get to do it this week. 

Thanks for reading leave a comment on how your journey is going whether you're doing better than me or are stuck like me where you can only lose a little bit at a time and even then it really is a little bit.

Boots Haul August

Before I start saying what I got in boots I did go in to peacocks and pick up two things so I'm quickly going to do that first and then I will continue with boots.


Picked up a sports bra basically needed another one as I only have about 3 of them at the minute. This was £5 which is a great price as sometimes they can be a bit expensive. It's black with silver sparkly lines all the way across but you can't really tell on the photo. Then on the back it crosses over with the 2 straps which I really like. 

I had to get one of these everyone literally seems to have one and I felt so left out but I now have one it was £3 and looks massive on my keys. 

On to what I got from boots. I pre ordered this lot so all I had to do was go in and collect it, I'd recommend this service to everyone just means you don't have to hunt around in store if you're on a time limit. 


I got 2 mascara a from rimmel London as it was buy one get one half price so I got wonderfull which I've used before and then a new one accelerator endless which looks really nice. They where both £7.99 but I saved £3.99 with the offer. 

Nailene ultra quick nail glue which I'm going to use for false nails so hopefully they'll turn out ok. This was £2.80.

Duo eyelash glue this was £4.99.

Yes to tomatoes daily balancing moisturiser for combination skin this was £7.99 down from £11.99.

Travel spray bottle which for now I'm going to use it to put water in and use it on my beauty blender instead of going to the bathroom to make it damp. This was £1.39.

Pack of shower caps I was expecting these to be nicer, I do want a proper one bit for now these will just have to do. They where only £1 so at least it's not to expensive.


These came free with my purchases so I got a garnier micellar cleansing water which is a small travel size bottle really and a free sample of Hugo boss the scent for her in the book it comes in it says 'an irresistible fragrance, unforgettable like a savoured seduction. Exquisite notes of honeyed peach, delicate freesia bloom, captivating osmanthus flower and intensely roasted cocoa, seduce the senses.' I can smell the peach and it don't seem that strong but the flowery sweet smell is quite strong I do like it but maybe for me not a first choice at the moment. I mean if someone got me this as a present I would still like it and use it.

Have you got any of this or any ideas of what I might like from this haul let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading.
