Hello again

20 posts?! Really just 20... Scarlet for my Ma. At the time, I really thought that I had more dedication to the blog. Second time for everything I guess. Lets Fast forward 21 months, I've changed jobs and gotten older,  that's about the height of it.

My relationship with food and with myself has remained pretty consistent. Nutrition wise, I am still trying to walk the tight-rope between "healthy, healthy, healthy" and  "all of the delicious food". I have always used food to coped with stress and life, which isn't ideal when you're on the old side of 25. I'm over that, I have decided to have a more forgiving, more sustainable outlook. As far as exercise goes things have been pretty similar to my food situation, I am either completely on it or completely off it, which not really forgiving or maintainable. I am absolutely going to address this, I can easily make the time for a few quick workouts during the week.

My new job is going really well, I say new job, but I've been there for almost a year.The working world is still sometimes stressful, I think it always will be, but hey it keeps me on my toes. I usually work three weekdays and every second weekend. On weekdays I finish up at 8 pm after a long 11 hours, this was leading to me being ravenous and scoffing dinner at 9 pm. This obviously ins't ideal. So I am toying with changing up my mealtimes.

Round two has officially kicked off, I hope to blog about health and lifestyle with some beauty and fashion thrown in for good measure.

This basically sums up my life...

Gym recap and this weeks plan

Ah , so last weeks plan was to work out Monday, Tuesday and Wednsday or Thursday and Friday. Monday was a wash, I was passing the gym at. 8.40 and I just wasn't feeling it that late at night, but I went on Tuesdays for a proper cardio and strength session, Wednsday was a lovely short swim and sauna, I also went on Friday and Saturday for similar cardio and strength work outs. 

I try to do about 30 mins cardio and 20-25 mins strength. For strength I normally pick two upper body, two lower body and two ab exercises and rotate them. 

This week is a little tricky because I'm going to visit the parentals waaaaaay down in the sticks this weekend, which rules out the gym on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sooo, my aim is gym it on Monday, Wednsday and Thursday, then I'll go for a good walk on Saturday, possibly Sunday aswell depending on the week. I'm going to see 12 years a slave on Tuesday and might go to a work meal on Thursday so I'm not 100% this week will work out as planned. 

I didn't manage to get in even one meditation session, I think I really could have used a couple though. Yesterday and today I found myself stress eating for sure, I know it's emotional when I'm eating junk food I don't even normally want! Such a waste of food to be honest, I get no enjoyment out of it and it's a waste of time. But look, it's okay it wasn't a major blow out or anything just totally unnecessary. This week again is tricky, Wednsday I'll get a quick session in and Saturday but I really think that might be it. 

I know that the relaxation is key, but I just can seem to "find the time"!
