Over the last two weeks I’ve been cleaning up my diet after starting to eat whatever I wanted and neglecting the gym. I soon felt the effects as my skin was becoming spottier, my cravings for sweet things were becoming constant, I was feeling sluggish and worst of all- I gained half a stone!! I didn’t think I was eating that badly as my main meals were still pretty healthy, but I was saying yes to all the tempting treats in the office and pigging out at the weekends with my boyfriend. Bit by bit they all took effect and I decided to stop two weeks ago.
I haven’t eaten as great as I could have. There have been far too many carbs for one, however I have been going to the gym and I already feel much better than I did two weeks ago. I’m not as bloated as I was, my stomach is almost perfectly flat again. My clean eating is definitely here to stay so watch this space!
I really need to start photographing my food again! It definitely helps to keep me on track!! Looks like you did really well!! Much better than my eating this week!! haha

I find it so motivating- plus knowing that I’ll be posting the pics on here and Instagram are enough to keep me on track! Thank you hun :) x
Plllllllease share that brownie recipe?
I love Cliff bars – I find they are one of the very few bar’s that actually keep me full..I know some people snarl at the calories but they are delish and I love the high protein too! :) x
I will do, I promise! I love the taste of them but I’ve found I’ve been eating them as snacks too often and they aren’t really- they’re more like a meal! So I’m going to cut down on them from now on x
Welcome back to the healthy side :) Everyone has periods where they fall off the wagon – I had the same recently too but I’m back blogging and looking after my health again. Well done for not beating yourself up about it!

Thank you so much, that’s such a lovely comment! x
I’ve been the same lately, giving in to more treats then my body needs (or even wants)… I blame the weather.
Good idea to track your weekly eats on your blog though – I’ll be trying the same next week to get me back on track!
