#gymlass

Hey guys, It’s been a while (there’s no 2 ways about that).

I lost my motivation with the stress of exams immediately followed by a french holiday filled with wine, bread and cheese.

During my exams I went to the gym as much as I could but I wasn’t making progress anymore and it made me want to go less and less.

Now, I’ve been back from my holiday for 2 days and each day i’ve been back i’ve been slowly reducing the amount of crap in my diet to get back to a better lifestyle. I’m still not back where I was but I’m better.

Tomorrow, I will hit the gym full force for the first time in a very long time. I know I will have regressed and it will get me down but I will just have to stick with it and stay motivated.

For the future of this blog:

I think my main focus of this blog will be ‘HEALTH ON A BUDGET’ as I currently am holding down 2 minimum wage jobs (1 of which I hate and isn’t worth it so am quitting) and will potentially be going to uni this summer.

I find that it becomes so easy to eat unhealthily purely due to cost. A pack of 4 donuts is a pound whereas as a pack of 3 passionfruits is £1.25. This makes staying healthy incredibly difficult when you have a limited budget, a lack of time and love to snack.

If you have plenty of time then cooking meals from scratch is cheaper than buying jars of sauce etc. but if you will be leading a busy life (such as mine will be at uni in september) then that really isn’t ideal. 

Also, I constantly snack. Usually snacks are the things that cost more if they’re healthy.

Therefore,

On this blog my main goal will now be to hunt down cheap and quick healthy alternatives for food options because I don’t want to live on expensive ready meals or the same pasta dish over and over in the coming year.

I will still be reposting aesthetically pleasing fitness pictures and motivational stuff but my main goal is to clean up my diet because I always had more issues with that than getting myself to the gym.

Much more to come!!
