February weigh in
So I missed a week of blogging but I wanted to give up an update of how everything was going.
I did a weigh in this morning, as I didn't get a chance the last couple of days.
These were my results:
Weight- 84.1kg (-3kg)
BMI- 32.9 (-1.18)
Body fat%- 47 (-2.8)
Body water %-39.6 (+1.7)
That's nearly half a stone in a month!
I'm feeling the difference already, I am feeling more energetic and the choices I am making are becoming a lot easier to do.

2014
Well it is safe to say that I was terrible at blogging in 2013.
In fact I pretty much forgot I had a blog, which is quite an impressive thing to do.
I am not going to promise any miracles for 2014, but I am going to try and blog possibly once a week, minimum, with an update on how I am doing on my fitness journey.
I am also looking for some fitness blogs to follow, so if you are a writer or know of a good blog please send them to me. I would love to check them out.
For Christmas I got a new set of scales, I've never been much of a 'weight watcher' as I feel there are a multitude of ways to see physical changes in the body not just weight, but these scales are amazing.
They measure weight, BMI, body fat percentage and body water percentage.
You enter your height, for me 5'3 (160 cm), and your gender (female) and age (21) and then stand barefoot on the metal plates.
As of last Tuesday these were my measurements;
Weight -87.1kg
BMI- 34.08
Body fat %- 49.8
Body water % - 37.9
As you can see these really aren't ideal, but we all have to start somewhere.
I have set myself goals to reach, my ideal measurements will be as follows;
Weight - 60kg
BMI - 23.5
Body fat % - 25
Body water %- 50
I haven't set myself a time limit for this, I'm just going to make smaller more obtainable goals along the way. As I am not training for a specific event, just wanting to make the best me possible.

Chocolate protein coconut bites.
I'm working the long shifts this weekend so I have baked myself some little each to make treats to help me cope.
Here's how I made them.
Chocolate protein coconut bites recipe.
Ingredients.
250g of descant coconut
4 eggs
Two scoops of chocolate protein powder
A few handfuls of dried fruit (I went with raisins and cinnamon cranberry's)
Dark chocolate
(You may add sugar or sweetner if you desire)
Recipe.
Combine the eggs, coconut, protein powder, dried fruit and sugar (if you're using it) in a bowl.
Shape into small balls, around 1-2 inches in size and place on baking paper.
Bake in the oven at gas mark 4/180C for around 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Melt the dark chocolate and coat the coconut balls however you feel. Drizzle, dunk or spoon it on.
Enjoy.
Set backs.
I have had a few bad days now.
It started with a rough long shift at work that got me comfort eating and then a few days of not finding time to workout and eating whatever I felt like.
I almost forgot how far I had come and how much I didn't want to stop.
Today I am back on track.
I killed my workout today and feel so much better for doing it too.
What a good time to be reminded that, just like an arrow, when we are being pulled backwards it only means we are about to be launched forward. So stay focused keep your eyes on the target.
