Did you know it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

If you are like me, I didn’t know!

I am probably like many young women, who live very busy lives and seem to forget how important it is to check our breasts.

As I was going to the Doctors surgery today, I thought I will pick some leaflets up with regards Breast Cancer, This is a area I like so many do not really know how or what I should do to check my breasts.

Being that I am very lucky (some may say!) to have a big bosom, this can be harder as there is so much of them to check (oh and remember the armpit area too!!!).

Things run through your mind before you check them “How about if I feel something?” or “How about if I miss a spot and there is a lump!!!!”

All these and much, much more haunt our thoughts.

The scary thing is Cancer is everywhere and we all must make sure we are on top of our game, and be brave, take a deep breath and check!

I am now going to get into a regular pattern of doing this, I am 27 years old and have already lost my Mum to Lung Cancer, so I know how evil this disease can be, but on a plus point a very dear friend of mine survived breast cancer!

Breast cancer is very curable now and survivle rates are on the up.

So ladies, lets all together start checking those breasts!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to end my latest blog, why not do what I do and give a few pounds to Cancer Research each month! With one in three of us now getting touched by cancer, i think  £3 a month is worth it to help them keep beating this!

Well hello there guys!

Long time no Blog!

With my Mum, Christmas and moving house I sadly have not been giving my Blog the full attention I should be giving it!

So I am back, and ready to keep you guys updated of my crazy life and trying to loose weight.

So on Monday 11th January my new diet starts (again)

I weigh a hefty 13 and half stone, and all I want is to get down to 10 and half stone to be a nice size UK  12 – 14!

So today I am trying the amazing Slimfast diet.

I wanted to do Lighterlife, the starvation diet which you live on 500kcals a day and you put your body into Ketosis to burn all that fat instead of those carbs!
Sadly at over £90 a week I can’t really afford to do that. And also I know people who have turned into monsters on the diet, well starving yourself would drive you crazy!

So the cheapest option is the lovely Slimfast, similar in the way you live on shakes and stuff, but different in a way you can get one proper meal a day, yes I said it right a PROPER MEAL.

So my breakfast and lunch has consisted of a banana Slimfast and plenty of fruit and low fat snacks.

The game plan is to have a shake and then a snack every two hours.

I have to admit I have felt light headed with a slight headache (a bit like i am drunk!) and quite tired.

But my first week has been good, I surprisingly felt full through the day, and only really hungry the last couple of hours before my dinner.

I did visit my doctor, on Wednesday who informed me that Slimfast is only ok to do for a few weeks, but I thought hey, if I am not bored and it keeps me feeling full why not give it the whole month!

So of course, I may of abandoned you for a while, but I am back on track to keep you updated with how this goes!
