Little Update!

4/5 months slightly over due but I have finally organised myself into a routine to get back into what I do best and that is blogging! The past 4/5 months have been super full on with uni and a ton of other stuff which I know is no excuse to have such a long ‘break’ from blogging.

Now work load is starting to calm down with at uni I will have a lot more time to focus on the content of my blog and improving my communications with my audience.

In the essence of health and fitness, I plucked up the courage to join Coventry Uni Hockey Club and couldn’t be happier with the pals I have gained as well as being part of a team of crazy and ever so slightly alcoholic girls. Training every Monday helps to keep on top of my fitness as well as going to the gym throughout the week. I am glad I have kept to an active regime and not just packed it in since moving back to uni.

On the other hand I am not being as strict as I was over the summer with my diet. I am a lot more lenient with what I eat, not in the sense of stuffing my face with shitty foods but after spending the months from April 2015 to September 2015 with no carbohydrates or very little, I have reintroduced certain carbohydrates into my diet these include; whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread and the usual sweet potato that I love, I had to do this due to training for hockey and playing matches, I needed to re think my diet for energy levels in sport.

I still go to the gym when I can each week which is usually 2-3 times because it helps a lot with letting out stress from uni work as well as keeping the weight I have worked hard to lose, off.

I have a whole list of blog posts that I want to write each week to keep my blog active for my audience and keep my motivations going on my own journey to improving and maintaining my health and fitness. 

London Calling!

So I decided to spontaneously jump on the train to London for the day on my own to go exploring! it was super fun and could not resist going on a hunt for a supermarket called 'WholeFoods' that I had been told about before. Now anyone that knows me, knows if I could live off green juices and smoothies for the rest of my days I totally would! So I found it and walked into WholeFoods to find in front of me, a whole sections of fresh juices and smoothies. Heaven. The supermarket I would say specialises in raw, organic, and super healthy foods ranging from creating your own salads to raw protein bars! Although it is slightly on the pricey side due to the really good quality of the food and drinks they sell it is definitely my new favourite supermarket, however student life 'n' all means I'm definitely not rich enough to get my shopping regularly from there! I picked up two different green juices and a raw raspberry snack bar.

There aren't many Stores in the UK as it is originally an American Store but I really hope they open some more in the UK! Check out their website for more info about them!

I then on my way home probably stupidly decided to walk down Oxford Street, not realising that there was fab Nike store that I caught a glimpse of  and then was drawn into!
I know I have said in a previous blog about being a student and not needing the best branded clothing for working out and I still 100% stick by that, but it is always nice to treat yourself now and again, I didn't go crazy and had to find a lot of will power not to spend a ton of money because I LOVED it all. I did pick up a new top and new leggings to add to my ever growing workout clothes collection. The top was £18 and the leggings were £30 and for Nike that's a pretty good find, looking online for Nike leggings, a lot of them come up with prices ranging from £60-£80 so I was pretty pleased with my finds and the quality of the clothes is super good!
