Big Smoke

Considering I'll be back in London in less than a month, I best get myself sorted. Got a lot of planning to do, house searching, money making and tick lists to complete! First off, location! Deciding on location is pretty damn hard, especially when your poor. All I'm asking for is a lovely 2 bedroom flat, spacious, clean, nice bathroom and kitchen, with a large living space and maybe parking ... is this too much to ask with £10 per month?! Just kidding. Well not about what would be ideal, as that would be perfect. However, I do require a safe area too, preferably in lovely west london with a balcony and pretty views, oh and close to a Wholefoods...OK now I'm definitely dreaming! Basically, what I want and what I can afford are obviously on two completely different scales, so I best get my thinking cap on (realistic one on too!) and get looking! Any wonderful suggestions??

So today I'm gyming it, that is once I've done everything else on my to-do list! I'm going to focus on upper body - chest, back and arms. Will fill you all in with my exercise routine in another post as considering I'm now a qualified personal trainer, I am definitely going to be posting more on exercise, health, nutrition and fitness! Just been sat here this morning reading the April issue of Health & Fitness, it's a really great read actually. This issue I really enjoyed - especially page 10 'Are We Too Vain?' article. It basically talks about the reasons people exercise and possibly that a lot of us begin exercise or do it for aesthetic reasons only. But, by changing the way you view exercise - you should see many more health benefits and gains, plus you're much more likely to stick with your exercise plans for life rather than as a short term fad. A little something, something to think about hey!

Enjoy your day

It's Simple Darling

So, it's been a while since I've blogged. But I'm back. So less of the worrying ;)

I am proud to say I am now a qualified Personal Trainer, Zumba Instructor and Fitness Professional. And I had my first ever job interview the other day, in fact I had two, and I can not believe I am saying this, but I got both jobs!! So the choice is mine. W-O-W. Not only are they wonderful job offers for my first job, and a fantastic place to start my career, the location is a dream as the job is in Covent Garden!

Celebrate your successes with parties, wine and lots and lots of laughter 

As I have not blogged in a long time, I decided to take a look at my older posts, and strangely enough one of my first posts called 'No.4' told about what I would love to do before I die. Slightly morbid I know. But then again, to look at it now, it's quite nice to know I am able to put a tick by some of those things! I had written:

To have been to drama school, kept a blog going, fall in love, have children, get married, work with incredible directors, be silly, learn from my mistakes, buy a house, decorate it (many a times), eat without a care in the world, improve my singing, become the best dancer I can be, watch more films, work with robert pattinson (have sex with robert pattinson), be in Spring Awakening, eat meat again, make more friends, travel the world, find inner peace...The list is endless, I promise.

Ok, I have not had children, gotten married or had sex with Robert Pattinson BUT...

I now eat meat

My blog, although had a little break, is still going

I have fallen in love, been in a relationship for 8 months now and life is good

I watch more films, laugh more and I can say I have learnt from some of my mistakes

So all in all, I am achieving my life long dreams slowly but surely. As some things have changed, I am going to write a new one.

Inside My Love

She's amazing.

SO. On Monday I begun my Personal Training course! It's Tuesday and I am dead. I think I am coming down with something & my muscles are seriously sore...I am waddling!! However...I LOVE it. The course, the people, the environment and the actual fact that I'm really engaging my brain and my pushing my physical fitness makes me so happy and motivated. 

Being an intensive course means I have a bloomin lot to learn in very little time, so I am extremely sleepy with a brain of mashed potatoes right now! I feel so inspired though, and the fact that I am making positive changes while doing such a healthy and positive course makes life that little bit more enjoyable and relaxed. 

I have goals. I have aims. I have routines. I have revision. I have homework. BUT. I have a social life. I have a love life. I have fun. I chill out.

I WORK HARD I PLAY HARD

and wow I feel good for it, finally getting that balance right I think!

I encourage you all to get the balance right, being healthy, happy, positive and challenged keeps you going I believe.

Smiles are so inviting.

I so agree with this. When I see someone so immaculately presented I kind of wonder how interesting of a person can they be! Sounds a little silly, and I'm not being judgemental here - I will give anyone a chance! But, what I mean is, it's nice to not be perfect. Perfection does not even exist! So instead of us all striving for something that is not accessible why don't we start enjoying our imperfect selfs and realising who we are is who we are and we should be proud of it.

I know, being the type of person I am, I have been there - wanting to be perfect - but now I work towards being the best I can be without killing myself doing that! You can't be amazing if you aren't healthy. People will find it hard to accept you if you don't accept yourself. So stop worrying about silly things and worry about your happiness.

 Smiles are so inviting.
