Birthday Celebrations...

Allan's birthday celebrations that is....I meant for it to be plural because he had one heck of a birthday this year, as he should cause he's such an awesome guy. It all started with dinner at Jenny and Brad's a couple of weeks before his actual birthday. They made a lovely meal of steak and potatoes and other deliciousness. Then we went to Bruges for a little getaway as you saw by the previous post and pics, we celebrated with some more steak and potatoes and other loveliness. From there we had his actual birthday celebration back in London with a wonderful group of friends, this time for dinner we had, yep you guessed it! Steak! Noticing a theme here? He loves steak! Hehe. Then the final birthday dinner was done at his parent's house and it was a yummy roast pork dinner. I was kind of happy that it wasn't steak as I think I had had my fill of it. Here are some pics from his birthday dinner with friends. Hope everyone is well! x

A nice trip to Bruges

This past weekend Allan and I had a lovely little trip to Bruges. We went last year so went with the idea in mind that we would just relax. Relax we did and it was awesome! It was one of those trips that where everything just fell into place and was meant to be. We were able to go Business Premier to and from Bruges on Eurostar thanks to Allan's uncle, then we got upgraded to an even better room at our hotel and the cherry on top was getting to see Lauren and Justin on Sunday. Absolute great trip even if it did rain the majority of the time.

Finished the 28 day Challenge!

As the title states I did just that! Finished the 28 day challenge! It was hard but the results were worth it. I lost 10lbs and 19 inches! Now I am moving into phase 2 of my workout/diet/health plan and will be starting a different workout regime and tweaking my diet plan a little.  I just don't want my body to get used to the same thing and I hit a plateau. I've got a goal and I am getting closer to it. This summer I've managed to lose a total of 20lbs. I've got a ways to go but I am still really motivated and want to hit my goal.

I really encourage any of my friends and family that are considering starting a workout regiment or diet change to just take the plunge. Starting is the hardest part, believe me I know. I put off doing this for ages, I always had an excuse. Now that I have really been following through it's not as hard as the beginning was. It's my normal routine now. I know how hard starting or staying motivated can be, but just know that you can do it and find someone that will be your support through it, who won't let you stop.
