Update

Well....I haven't been on here for a long time. Sorry about that. Been a very busy girl. But I thought I would pop back on here and give an update of my progress so far.

So I have been doing Slimming World for about 14 weeks now, to date I have lost 1 Stone. I have also had some losses followed buy some gains. I let my sweet tooth run free with me for a while, but I'm fully on the band wagon again!

I have also started doing pilates classes every week and wait for it....I went to MetaFit!

METAFIT - 30 Mins of sheer hell followed by 6 days of agony. It was intense! I used to do Insanity and even started Jillian Michael's Body revolution and I have to be honest, Metafit killed me. It probably doesn't help I forgot my water bottle in the car and half way through I had to run away to the bathroom and drink from the tap. Yep I was shattered!

I then spent 6 days whimpering at every little movement.

Now last week I had a gain. I had a bad week of sugar filled goodies and letting myself go a little and it followed with a gain. I then decided I needed a good pick up the butt to get me back in gear. I have done a week of 'SP' Slimming world this week. It is basically meals filled with speed food and protein. No carbs and pretty much no dairy. It is hard and for anyone wanting to give it a go, I would suggest planning every meal down to the last bit. The advantages of SP is that you get one healthy Extra A choice and two B choices. 

I tried making oat cookies...they are a bit chewy though. Girls gotta get her sugar someway.

I have noticed that this week I have struggled with tiredness. I am lacking in energy and needing naps to keep myself going throughout the day. Right now all I want to do is sleep.

Tomorrow is weigh in day. I will keep you updated with my progress.

Amy's Attic

Happy New Year! So 2016 has begun and many of us have started our New Year's resolutions. Mine started a while back. I plan on sewing/crafting more, because everyone has their outlets that relaxes them, crafts are my outlet. Now we are going to flash back a few week ago *Imagine T.A.R.D.I.S sounds here*. A friend and I were spending the day being ladies of leisure at the local Spa and Hotel, I felt so posh, when I began discussing my recent creative projects. Well after a glass of champagne, pampering and the heat of the hot tub, my friend had said how she found it odd I hadn't started a blog, documenting my projects. Now in the weeks to follow this thought had lingered and after a New Years Bucket List discussion my friends set me the goal of setting up a blog, thus Amy's Attic was born! The inspiration for Amy's Attic began months ago when I got sick, or rather my mother got sick, of me using her dining room table as a sewing/craft space. I then ran an idea passed...

12 weeks of this? Will I survive?

What do you do when you know you are in the right place but then being a grown up and the need for income gets in the way? I'm embarking on a new journey in my life and I'm taking the huge step back into teaching. I weighed up my options and realised the best way for me to get back into teaching was through a return to teaching course. Now I don't know if you've ever wandered the lonely halls of Google but there aren't that many return to teaching courses out there, especially ones that don't involve teaching in London...slight distance for me to travel from the North East and...well....you know it costs an arm and a leg to rent down in London so that was never going to happen. I had to weigh up whether I would get the experience I needed through general day to day supply (since I waiting 5 years to start my NQT year I can now only do HLTA or TA work so that kind of limits my chances) or if by some miracle I could get a course that allowed me chance to t...

This is what having a life looks like!

So I've been complaining recently that I have no life. My life consists of waking up, going to work, getting in late, eat, sleep and repeat. Now I know, I know, most peoples lives are like this but I've never worked so much that my social life and general wellbeing has gone down the pan and my trip to London was the start of me seeing there is more to life than working. London was truly AMAZING! I love cities and I love London! The busy streets, the hustle and bustle of people shopping, commuting and touring. The truly amazing food from both lavish places and the quaint cafe's. The beautiful scenery and attractions. The list goes on. It is times like these that I realise how much I miss teaching abroad and having these types of experiences on my doorstep. My amazing time started with taking my mother down to London for her 50th birthday. We enjoyed a relaxed train journey, slightly stressful underground journey (my mother doesn't do crowds). When the room wasn...
