Detox

keeping my room oxygenated! 

It has been nearly two weeks since my last blog post and Lord knows I have been busy. The first week at Uni is almost over (not worked too hard though, seeing as I had Tuesday and yesterday off) and that means there is only two months until we break up for Easter! What am I paying for again? 

I've been on a mad one over these past two weeks, consuming nearly 3500 calories a day, thanks to a ridiculous amount of exercise I've ben doing. My flat mates are getting slightly peeved at me leaving the house at 8am to do a 5k run before they've even woken up and they are definitely getting annoyed at my telling them how many calories I have burned using my Nike+ Fuelband - get one, you won't stop moving (to the S club beat... sorry.). I have been making/drinking/eating in some cases a lot of smoothies - buy fruit and freeze it in bags (that way your food doesn't go off) ready to blitz with milk/oj and a spoon of peanut butter for a protein kick! Every morning I've had porridge with a whole banana and a spoon of peanut butter and a mug of Dr Stuart's Detox tea - beauty from within and all that jazz! 

A slightly fuzzy 5k in under 30 minutes -
not bad after 4 hours kip

So it has been an exciting two weeks, I have so much more energy and am falling asleep at 10:30pm and waking up fresh as the daffodils on my desk at 8am - perfect time for a morning run! - watch the ice though, we almost had an A&E trip on our hands the other day! - things are getting rather chilly (thats if you're up North by the way, if you're in the South, then enjoy your tropical climate and think of us polar bear skating whilst we run). 

Although I'm eating a lot, don't think it is all healthy! Last night I devoured a whole pizza (which I added healthy-ish toppings to) and then had lots of chocolates to finish the night off. Our flat (and the President of the JCR) won the quiz! cha-ching! so we all had a bottle of wine each which we all drank last night - or not, we went to bed at 9:30pm - such grannies. 

That is what I've been up to the past two weeks, but I have noticed, whilst I have been not on here that my views have creeped past 12,000! which is fantastic news and makes me very motivated to write more. 

Have a good day my lovely llamas!

Wednesday 31st July: complete and nutter honesty

Its August tomorrow, 

my new, short hair, in Pizza Express

AUGUST. A month away from starting University, 2 months will Hallowe'en, 3 months till bonfire night and 4 months till my birthday, who cares about Christmas? 

Tonight, I did something crazy, 
I must have been having a young-life crisis (although those that know me know that I am far too organised to have a crisis!) because I (my hairdresser) cut about 4 inches off my long hair. 

Don't cry for me Argentina, 

Its ok, it needed it. But, nevertheless, its gone. 
I just got home and I look like Ollie Locke's twin. That wasn't something I'm allowing you to laugh at. 
But its that perfect length! 
Its ok though, the sun will make it grow, like a plant. 

To make the situation better I had my haircut paid for me, thanks mum. 
BUT then I took HER to Pizza Express (sacrilege!) 

Its gone up a league (Pizza Express), there's a new menu, loads more starters including a mushroom Bruschetta, but of course, to nurse my lul I had dough balls. 

We had a glass of wine each (I had a Merlot Rosé, of course, not cheap at £4.50 though!) 

Toffee Glory

I had an Four Seasons pizza - it had Anchovies on it. 
mm. Now if you haven't had them, you need to! they're smaller than sardines and are very salty but taste so good - they're not fishy at all. 

Then, 
I can barely say it, 
THEN we had a "Toffee Glory" 
It was huge. Like, massive - Ice cream (sorry - Gelato), toffee pieces, wafer, toffee sauce, ice cream, wafer, toffee pieces, toffee sauce, toffee sauce, ice cream, toffee sauce and then chocolate dusting. 
Its my 'bad' day.

Moving on... 

There was a couple in there that had me thinking. 

She was undoubtedly gorgeous, he was rough around the edges had a ridiculous amount of festival bands on his wrist - show off - she had salad. 

Salad - who has salad at Pizza Express?!

thats like going to a brothel for a hug - bless her, she clearly wanted to make a good impression, she definitely salivated when our dessert came. 

They were very cute though, they had to eat using only a fork because they were too busy holding each other's hands - and playing footsie (theres no table cloths silly!) 

I don't know if I could be affectionate in public - everyone looks and then try to show they weren't looking, just creeps me out. 

More madness

Theres this boy, I call him Panda (he'll kill me just for saying that), he's a very close friend of the family and he's on a date (gwarn son!), whist his sister sends me Snapchats of her and her mum sat at home. 

So I was thinking, I'm sure he's like 15?! No, he's 18 and has suddenly become a cross between a made in chelsea actor (looks wise) and a Jack Wills model and he used to be a chunky monkey. How they grow up.

Tomorrow is a new day 

Tomorrow, I'm planning a post on fitness, because I'm a fitness instructor and have concrete abs. (Ha, ahhh I'm hilarious) 

No but really, I have some great tips! 

I'm going to reduce my calorie intake, as today's food could have kept an African child going for a month. 

I'm going to practise my piano and somehow find a way to tell mum I've broken a string on my violin. 

Mozart,
