Im Baaaack!

Finally. Im back in the mood for blogging. 

It has been a pretty tough few weeks for me, i wont go into too much detail

Firstly my mum, who has a serious illness, has been in hospital. Thankfully it was nothing too serious in the end and is now back out and on the mend.

Over the weekend it was the anniversary of my grandads death, i always find this a really tough time, even 11 years on. 

I have been feeling pretty ill over the weekend. I think its a combination of my Asthma and the crazy changes in the weather. One minute its really nice and sunny, on Thursday it was so warm. I thought summer had arrived early, but yesterday it was snowing again. Strange huh?

So today im feeling a little fragile and nursing a sore thoat and a snuffily toddler.

Now that she is happily napping away i thought id get out the laptop and catch up with the blogging.

I am back on my intense diet as of this morning. Im in 2 minds wether to get back on the soup diet or just have small protions and eat with everyone else. 

On the soup diet i lost some weight, but not as much as id liked. It does get pretty boring too. 

Im going to aim to do around 200 sit ups a day for a week, and then up it too 250, then 300 and so on untill im happy with the amount im doing and then maintain a steady number. At the moment i can do around 200 with out my stomach acheing like crazy. (FYI i dont do them all at once, i do 100 in the morning and 100 in the evening. It works for me) Im also going to be taking Amy out for walks now that the weather is looking much nicer. I have found a new little duck pond just a nice walk away from me so will be taking Amy there. 

As some of you may know i am coated in stretch marks. Some from my pregnancy and some from weight gain and weight loss. Lately, they have been getting me down so much and i am feeling very self consious, my confidence is rock bottom. I was tempted to speak to my doctor about them but i cant deal with the embarrasment of showing him. The only people who have seen them are Paul and my sister. The only people i can honsestly trust not to laugh at me. 

I have been doing some research on a new Johnsons Skin Perfecting Oil for Stretch Marks. It retails between £9.99 and £14.99. I have tried Bio-Oil and Palmers Stretch Mark Cream and found it made my skin red and itchy, i think i may have been allergic. So i am willing to try this product. It advertises that you can see visible results in just 4 weeks. I will do anything to see visible results in 4 weeks. I will be doing a weekly post on this if i ever find the damn product. 

I also have a few reviews for you and will be doing some OOTDs
