Sunday Walk

I fancied wearing a dress today I thought we were just going shopping but we ended up on a little walk around a lake. 

 
My Outfit:

Black Dress £12.99 Store 21

Tan Boots £30 Reduced from £70 in sale early this year 

Tan/Black leopard print Scarf (Unknown) but I'm stocking similar designs on my page Kelly's Box. 

Could have done with a jacket as it was freezing walking round a blimin lake brrrrrr!

Christmas Jumpers

 

Christmas jumper day is 12th December and I'm actually pretty tempted to join in after seeing this fabulous Holly Jumper at Asda George for £14 and a donation goes towards Save the Children.

Teamed with jeggings or simple black leggings it would look fab with red lips on the big day aswell.






Love these also from Asda for the kids aswell how cute are they from £8.

Others that have caught my eye are Peacock's red Christmas Tree jumper £18 and another Asda Jumper which is £10.

  

Can't wait until Christmas now.

Weight Tracks Weeks 21-24

Week 21: No weigh in

Having a week in Cornwall this week, Yay Holiday.

Started off tracking and avoiding bad food but by Tuesday I gave in. I did go swimming and walked plenty but I can feel I've put some weight on after indulging on cake, chips, pasty, biscuits and wine :( 

Week 22: 2.5lb Gain 

Holiday was extended slightly as stayed with friends in Bristol at the weekend who suggested all you can eat breakfast eek! I also had ice cream. 

I tracked on Monday and was doing well until I ate a whole bag of revels. Need motivation as I got some size 12 trousers and the zip keeps coming undone. 

Days have started well but ended badly with wine and chocolate. I hope after weigh in I will see the damage and get on track again as this week it just aint happing.

Well I gained less than I thought which is great but I feel heavier :/

Week 23: 0.5lb Lose

New week so I need to lose that gain. 

Had a bad beginning to the week as went over on Saturday. Had a meal out with a friend on Wednesday which ended up being higher points that expected plus  had dessert and wine eek! 

Thursday started a new 7 minute exercise and also a BuggyFit session so that may have saved me. I'm glad I'm at least going in the right direction this week though.

Week 24: 0.5lb Gain

Not a great start to the week by Monday I used all 49 weeklies. Feeling a bit un-motivated especially after at my Saturday meeting being told to leave as my kids were too noisy. It was embarrassing as it was in front of everyone which has made me feel reluctant to go to meetings now. I'm only 9lb away from goal so how can I stop now.

Keep eating this week don't know what is wrong with me. I've exercised everyday and had one buggyfit class aswell as walking to make up for the food intake.

Sale Wants

Loads of sales again my first pick is this fabulous dress by Asda George just £15 was £35. 

This bright bag from Select in black and lime is now £9.99 down from £16.

Oh love this shirt from River Island now just £10 originally £25.

Loving the Berry / Wine colours about at the moment but not found much in the sales as yet. I'm also on the lookout for some navy boots which aren't easy to find without a huge price tag. 

Night Out Outfit

I've been wanted to start outfit posts for a while so after having a long awaited night out with a friend last week It was the perfect opportunity especially being 24lb lighter I felt pretty good. 

My Outfit 

Kimono £18 Peacocks 

Red Cami £5.99 Select

Skinny Jeans £7 Primark

Owl Necklace £4 Peacocks

Wedge Boots (present last christmas)

Love dressing up can't wait to do it again :)

Winter Coats

It's that time again when you start thinking of coats. My last year coats are now too big (yay!) so I'm on the lookout for something new. 

Love these toggle coats in Asda at only £20. The grey and burgundy are my favourites. 

In Select sale I've found this long Parker which is practical for the rainy cold days just £15.

So many out there to choose from. I bought a lovely red coat just after my second child which is actually nearly two years ago it was in House of Fraser for over £100 but it was reduced in the January sale for £25 so I got it thinking I would fit in it later that year (didn't happen) but this year it fits :)

High Street Fashion

Loving high street store Select I often go and have a browse but loving these at the moment. 

On trend wine / berry leggings £7.99. Gingham chiffon shirt £8 in sale.

This bag catches my eye every time I go in store and now its just £3.99 in the sale.

Love Colbalt blue its one of my favourite colours. Cami vest just £4 in sale. Double layer vest just £5.99 in sale. 

New in is this eyelash heart jumper £15.99.

Worth checking out the sale online at www.selectfashion.co.uk 

Trainer Choices

I would like to get back into running at some point so I need some trainers since going up a size but I can't decide on which pair. I've narrowed it down to these two both are women's running Adidas trainers and are pretty similar.

I like plain black with a hint of colour and both of these do the trick but still not sure. Today Adidas have 25% off using the code 'Friends' so its worth doing. 

I do like colour as well and love all these. Two are Adidas and two are supermarket brand but all just as nice to look at. 

Can Feet Really Change

I've been having trouble with shoes at the moment as my feet size / shape had changed. I've always been a size 6 but after my second child my size 6s where too tight as I'd crept up to a size 7 so I sold a lot of my shoes so I could replace them but then during summer I had a pair of size 7 sandals that all of a sudden seemed too big. What I'd just sold my size 6's to get 7's but now I'm in between somewhere so trying to find 6.5 but then that doesn't always work urgh! How can feet change so much? 

Anyway I wanted some new ankle boots and went for a 7 as no 6.5 available they have plenty of room so I'm hoping that will make them comfortable. 

Loving the brogue look at the moment so what do you think to my new boots. I got them 30% off at Peacocks. Can't wait to wear them with a dress and tights. 

I'm selling a load of shoes that are lovely but just don't fit right its so frustrating and you can't tell until you try them first so I'm gaining quite a collection uh oh! 

Let me know if you are interested in any :)

Weight Track Weeks 17-20

Week 17: 1lb lost

This week I'm following the Wendie plan that has been all over Facebook basically it distributes your daily and weekly pro points so some days you have more and couple days you stick to 26. Most people trying this have lost so we shall see.

I've also started the 30 day ab challenge this week to get toning.

I hoped for a bigger lose but at least I did this week.

Week 18: 1lb lost

Had a couple of outings this week so have had cake and couple of meals out but not overloading. Still doing the ab challenge. Monday I felt very tired and irritable and wanted to eat lots of yummies I only had weight watchers bars but more than one. 

4th Sept I started my Clean 9 detox for 9 days. First two days were tough as no food so I hoped for a good lose but only 1lb off is disappointing.
See my Clean 9 diary.

Week 19: 3lb lost

I'm on Clean 9 for the whole week but days 3-9 you add a 600 calorie meal so hopefully I will have a better lose this week. I am back to BuggyFit this week which is an hour of exercise on top of the 30 day ab challenge I am doing.

Really thought I'd have lost more on the detox so unsure it worked for me. But I've now reached 10stone 7lb which was my pre-pregnancy weight with my first child so now I'm fitting in all my old clothes. 

Week 20: No Weigh In 

Did weigh 66kg at dr's (10st 5.5lb) 1.5lb lose Last week before holiday so I'm glad I've reached 10.5 stone as hopefully I will feel okay in my costume. I won't be having a weight watchers weigh in this week but I will still be tracking and being good (Hopefully).

Already had cake though as celebrated three birthdays at the weekend but kept the slices small. Craving sweets and chocolate this week but maybe that's because I denied myself last week with Clean 9.

Been a bit free with food this week but still exercising. I weighed myself at the dr surgery and it went 66kg which means I'm at 10stone 5.5lb that 1.5lb lose this week which is a little shocking. That means I've lost 2 stone woohoo! 
After doing the clean 9 my measurements have gone up slightly but 6 inches off my waist in 20 weeks is pretty good if I must say.

TOTAL LOST 

******   2 stone 0.5 lb ******

Measurement Lose to date:

Waist lost: 6"

Hips lost: 3"

Thigh lost: 2.5"

Upper arm: 1.5"

Feeling Inspired

I love clothes and accessories of all kinds which is why back in January I added accessories to my Facebook Shop Kelly's Box. I love scarves, bags and statement jewellery in all colours. 
I have previously put together outfits of my own and Blogged about them which was really fun to do. 

Previous Posts:
Outfits Under £20
Outfits under £50

I haven't done this in so long but after coming across another blog http://www.rachelthehat.com/ again today I feel inspired as this lady shops at high street and supermarkets plus has her own online accessories shop Yosa. 
She has created what I like to do on a bigger scale so it's making me want to get back into outfit blogging and expanding Kelly's Box.

Keep an eye out at Kelly's Box for more colourful and funcky accessories coming soon.

I also have handmade products which can be found at Kelly's Box and at Etsy
