My 87th Academy Awards Predictions (Oscars)

As well as my love for fitness and health my biggest passion is for the performing arts and the film industry. You may have seen my previous review on the beautiful film The Theory Of Everything so I thought why not try and predict the results of the upcoming 87th Academy Awards.

I know I haven't done all of the award predictions but there was so many and I am not clued up on foreign language films or documentary's so I thought I would just stick to the things feature films I have seen and know about. if you would like to take a look at the nominations or predict them yourself then head over to www.oscar.go.com

little haul including Nike and Bank

I must be a little late on the news as I had no idea Bank Fashion had gone into administration until I went to the Leeds store today. I have always being a fan of Bank as it stocks some great brands so I will be sad to see it go. So whilst having a cheeky little look at the sale items I came across this cute playsuit by the brand Hearts and Bows. I feel like I was destined to get this playsuit today actually as I saw it a while back but they didn't have it in my size so I just forgot about it. However it's now in my possession and ready to be worn on my holiday. It's was originally £32.00 and I purchased it today for £9.60. Unfortunately we can't save Bank by going and re-homing all there sale items however you can go treat yourself and make a few cheeky purchases. 

After I was side tracked by the sale at Bank I got onto my main focus of buying a really decent pair of running/work out trainers.  I usually run in my cheer shoes which are okay and support my ankle however there not suppose to be worn outside. I also sometimes naughtily run in my Converse which is the worst idea ever as there not running shoes, have no support on the ankle and are flat. No wonder I currently have a painful ankle. After looking around a few shops and comparing online I picked up a pair of Nike Downshifter 6. There black which I wanted with a neon pink tick so they can be visible if running at night. I have never decided faster on a pair of shoes in my life before. I only tried one on and was like these are so comfy and supportive I will take them. These beauties were also on sale for £32.99. So today was a good day for bargains and I can't wait to put these through the test with all the working out I have being doing lately.

My second Aliexpress Haul!

After seeing different YouTtube videos of Aliexpress hauls and being impressed with my previous purchase of the Celine style bag ( review can be found on my previous post) I decided to go a head and purchase a new bikini for my holiday. With my weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey I decided to get a neoprene one. Neoprene is the diving suit material and is used by the Bikini brand Triangl.
The product was delivered in under a month and yet again I am very impressed with the quality. It seems very durable and will last a long time. The colour is also bright and complimentary. It cost me around £9.00 including shipping which is amazing since it's made of neoprene. My tip regarding ordering this bikini is to measure yourself before hand. The company allows you to mix and match sizes you just leave the sizes you require when ordering.
I look forward to wearing it on my holiday and hopefully grab a few snaps in it.

My Diet!

A lot of people start on a weight loss journey but give up because there not seeing any results. Most people believe exercise is enough but it's not! You have to eat clean. Nutrients are key for the body to function and protein gives you energy whilst helping to re-build your muscles stronger. I flick through the weight loss and healthy eating hashtags on Instagram and see things like chocolate, baked beans on white bread and a bowls of cereal. these are certainly not healthy nor full of key nutrients for the body.  I never used to eat healthy, I'd eat what I want when I want. Luckily I have never being a big portion eater and usually eat little and often.

1. My first tip for eating better and losing weight is eat smaller portions (unless you already do). Make sure your having breakfast, lunch and dinner and no more than a couple of snacks a day. 
2. Cut out sugary drinks like pop or soda and Juice drinks as there usually full of sugar. Stick to water and tea. I also recommend lemon detox water.
3. Cut out sugary and fattening snacks like chocolate and crisps. Replace them with fresh fruit which can be frozen so they don't go off, peanut/cereal bars, and yoghurts.
4. Swap your white bread for brown.
5. Eat more eggs as there a great source of protein.
6. Swap cereal for porridge and top with frozen or fresh fruit and a teaspoon of Nutella or pea nut butter.

My daily food intake is around 1200 calories sometimes 

maybe less. I start the morning off by having my Protein World Slender Blend which usually takes me up till lunch time. For lunch I will usually have something like egg and soldiers or salmon on crackers and then a yoghurt, humus 

with fresh veg and fruit, or meat and salad. In the evening I like to have a normal cooked meal such as chicken in sauce with brown rice, quinoa paella, or homemade sweet potato fish pie.  

Changing your eating habits is not hard and I recommend it to everyone! I feel so much happier and healthier and the weight is coming off.
