Update on 6 week challenge!

Hello ma'lovelys, sorry this post is a bit late but I have been helping my boyfriend move house and have not had any access to the internet until today.

This is my update for my 6 week challenge!

So first of all I will show you my development logs for last week.

So for an overview, my calorie counting was far more difficult than I thought it would be. Its hard to find the right balance of food to eat during each day. My goal for eating was to have 1500 calories a day, however I went over my limit quite a few times. 

As for exercise I managed to do a little more than I expected to do. My goal for exercise was to do 25 minutes a day, however on my first day my boyfriend sneakily got me to do 35 mins by him monitoring me with a timer. This proved to myself that I was cable of doing more exercises than I thought. I did struggle with the motivation to start doing exercise each day, however when I was a few minutes in I was fine and able to push myself to do more.

New purchases!

Hello ma'lovelys, In this post I will be showing some new items I have got recently.

This first item is a gorgeous black top with a golden flowery pattern. 

This top is a black top with a colourful bird and flower on the front. It has a loose ruched neck line, and is quite slim fitting.

A simple pair of navy blue jeggings.

My boyfriend Chris brought me these gorgeous boots. The are calve length with a slight heel. Black leather with two buckles. These beauties were from New Look at £34.99.

Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush. This lip scrub is absolutely gorgeous, it smells like bubblegum and is sugar particles which you buff into your lips to make them lovely and smooth. Best Lip Scrub ever!  

This is Blemish Mud face mask. It has Aloe Vera & Willow in the ingredients. I can not wait to try this face mask and will do a review soon.

I recently signed up with a website called 'Latest in Beauty' and they sent me a few products. 

First is the Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave in Conditioner Split Remedy from TRESemmé.

I used all three samples, the shampoo and conditioner were good and I did notice my split ends looked reduced. However the leave in conditioner was not as good as I thought it was going to be. I left my hair feeling quite weighed down and sticky. 

Next is the perfume by Kim Kardashian. It is a sweet light smelling fragrance and I would wear it on a day to day bases as I love a fruit smell during the day.

Last is this Lavera face cream. It is quite a thick cream but only needs a small about to cover your whole face. It left my skin feeling lovely and soft.

Thank You for reading, if you have any comments leave them below :)

Thanks girls :)

My 6 week challenge!

Hello ma'lovelies, In this post I will be explaining and starting my 6 week challenge. I am being really brave to do this post as it is something I tend not to really think about and it is something personal to me. 

This 6 week challenge is to help me keep fit and have a healthy lifestyle. I have got development logs and will be writing in them each day to monitor my progress. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first part of my challenge is the declaration for exercise. 

To begin my healthy lifestyle, I Charlotte , commit to cycling/stretch exercises for 25 minutes on: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday . 

I plan to do my exercise in the following location: My home 

My Goal - Total Minutes Per week minimum

Week 1 - 175 mins 

Week 2 - 175 mins 

Week 3 - 175 mins 

Week 4 - 210 mins 

Week 5 - 210 mins 

Week 6 - 210 mins

***

The second part of my challenge is healthy eating. I will be recording everything I eat and drink each day for 6 weeks. This way I will be able to monitor how much I intake and check my eating patterns. I calculated my age, sex, height and BMI and in conclusion I need to have 1500 calories a day. 

Age - 18

Sex - Female

Height - 5ft

BMI - 27.34

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My 6 week challenge was a little bit harder than I expected. I had never calorie counted before and didn't think it would be that difficult. However after each meal I counted the calories and realised I need to eat slightly less and also food with less calories in them.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks	Total
Monday	1213(cal)	260(cal)	350(cal)	96(cal)	1919(cal)
Tuesday	350(cal)	500(cal)	500(cal)	276(cal)	1626(cal)
Wednesday	146(cal)	500(cal)	450(cal)	414(cal)	1520(cal)
Thursday	Had a lie in! (hehe)	500(cal)	350(cal)	116(cal)	966(cal)
Friday	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)
Saturday	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)
Sunday	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)	(cal)

The meal that let me down was breakfast. I thought that because you need a lot of energy for the day, I should have a big hearty breakfast. BIG mistake, I need to have food that will fill me up for longer and give me the energy that I need with less calories.

As for exercise, I did my workout quite late at night which is not all that brilliant for you, but as I was very busy I made sure that I squeezed it in. Well normally I hate exercise and give up halfway through, however this time I had Chris with me. This motivated me to finish my workout and without realising doing 35 mins instead of the targeted 25 mins. Thank god for boyfriends hehe.
