I have been a bit quiet on the blog front. I have been struggling for inspiration. Well I've found some!
I found a challenge. A summer weight loss challenge.
I've been keeping up with different blogs on bloglovin and have been drawn to fitness and weight loss blogs. I have long struggled with my weight and always seem to be wanting to lose weight but never actually doing it!
But I joined a slimming group, and for the past 10 weeks I've weighing in. My progress has been slow but mainly because I've had a lack of focus. I've been weighing in, and kinda watching what I'm eating but not really putting in a great deal of effort. I've been selling myself short. Soo ......
Challenge Accepted.
Every Friday Caitlin over at Weights and Measure will post three new mini challenges. I try to complete the challenges and do a post about my week.
I think this is a great way for me to put in the effort and to stay accountable.
The challenge will run for 12 weeks - which takes us right up to the day before my holidays! What perfect motivation.
This week the challenges are
1. Identify three weight loss goals I would like to achieve or work towards over the next 12 weeks
- I'm nearly there with my goals but I think they deserve a post on their own - stay tuned!
2. Drink 2L of water per day - gonna be a tough one for me, especially with my diet coke addiction!
3. Get active - 30mins of activity per day - sure Bailey will help me out with this one.
Caitlin's been so organised there is even a hashtag! #12wkssummerchallenge so I will be tweeting along as well.

The little things
Hello! Long time, no speak.
I am not going to ramble on about being away or coming back, all I will say is that today I feel ready to write.
Today feels like a turning point, feels like I've been able to stop & take stock. Focus on the little things.
I seem to have glossed over the little things that keep me going. I have been missing my zumba, my hair was in terrible need of a colour & cut, my skin was screaming out for a facial and my computer had been gathering dust. The little things that make me feel "me" have been neglected.
Today I noticed that things were beginning to slip. I was able to see what I needed to do!
I got my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish from the back of the cabinet & gave my skin a freshen up. The difference is incredible, my skin feels smooth & nourished.
Then I found a sample of shampoo & conditioner I have carted from the flat to here but had left it hiding in a drawer, probably never to be used!
But today I fancied a change, a pick me up. My hair deserved it, my hair needed it! So Tresemme Split Remedy to the rescue. My hair feels silky smooth, it smells divine & looks much healthier.
And I feel stronger, fresher & more together. It's the little things that can make a big difference.
Love Mrs Brown xx
