I love sushi!

Hi guys,

This week I put on 2lbs- was expected though. Not been for a couple of weeks with the hen party etc. This week is a detox week. It's not one of those hardcore ones but it's having lots of juice, soup and not many carbs.

This mornings breakfast was a pear, apple, orange and ginger jiuce. Yummy! Really tasted nice. Loved the ginger in it.

Me and my mum (below) went to Milton Keynes today so I could buy some fabric in John Lewis and to have lunch at !Yo Sushi. OMG I love it there! Can't wait to go back. So delish.

They had a beach in the shopping centre!!!

This afternoon I had some cupcakes to do and then I did some admin/PR work for my dad. As I don't have a job at the mo he's paying me to do some bits for him. Here's a cupcake pic:-) My website is www.jessicascupcakes.com

Dinner was a chicken and veg stirfry. Really nice and filling and just seasoned with soy sauce. Nice and simple.

Right it's late so I need to go to bed. See ya tomorrow guys.

Sorry!

So sorry for lack of blogging this week. I've been busy looking for a job and a house. Plus I've had loads of cupcake orders to do this week.

Found the perfect house! I cannot wait to move in on Sept 10th! Something to look forward to!!!

Just need a job now....

Anyway sorry for not posting. Normal blooging will resume tomorrow along with a bit of a detox week from Zest's Bikini body made easy.

Hen Do!

Hi guys, hope you all had a good weekend. I went to Nottingham for my best friends Hen do. We had a blast. I've put a couple of pics below.

I'm not going to talk about what I ate while I was away as it's NOT healthy. But back on track tomorrow!!!

Anyway here is a pic of the group

And a pic of us dressed as Gangsters for our night out

Willy straws!

And me.. being me!

For some reason randoms pictures are showing up on my blog from the site I got my background template. Trying to sort it as it's very annoying!!!

I think from next week i'm going to do Zest's Bikini Body Made Easy. It's a 6 week diet and exercise plan that is tailor-made for your body type. The first week is a detox week which involves a lot of juices, nuts, seeds, fruit, fish and veg.

I got a juicer today! Wanted one for a long time and tody in Argos they had one half price at £9.99 and it works fab. So bring on the juices!!!

Exercise today was 30 minutes on the cross trainer on fat burn programme then 10 minutes of weights and resistance.

Nearly the weekend!!

I'm super excited as tomorrow I'm going on Cat's Hen weekend!! We are off tomorrow lunchtime to Nottingham for 2 nights. A meal out on the Friday night, a daytime activity on Saturday and the main night out Sat night- dressed as gangsters! So I have so much stuff to get ready for tomorrow so this will be a quick update!

Breakie this morning was a 1 egg and 2 egg white omelette with mushrooms.

I then had a cupcake order to do....

Lunch was prawn and buckwheat noodle broth- yum. not had it for a while!

Then did lots of boring things that needed to be done and then did 30 mins on the cross trainer.

Dinner was a bit of a treat- Fajita's! Lush!!!

I then fancied something sweet before bed so had a bowl of cornflakes. I lurve cornflakes.

Right I'm sorry it's such a short boring post but I need to get ready for tomorrow :-)

Rainy days

Evening! Today it was building up to a massive rainstorm. You could feel it in the air and tonight it chucked it down big time! At least I don't need to water the veggies tomorrow!

Breakfast this morning was power toast (wholemeal toast with peanut butter and mixed seeds on top).

Then our landlord came round with an estate agent to measure up the house and value it. Can't believe we are going to have to move :-( I hope we find somewhere suitable in our price range.

I then went to pick my mum up and she treated me to lunch. It was a thai buffet. I couldn't take any pics as the restaurant was quite intimate and would have looked a bit of an idiot setting my flash off!!!

I then popped to see Lydia as she has a chest infection. Then I grabbed a few bits from the supermarket.

For an afternoon pep up I had a Starbucks chilled latte

Once home I made some homemade peanut butter cups as Phil requested them. He loves them!!!! Idea of which I got from HEABs. I never need to buy them again! However I must must limit the intake of them! Today I had 2. Not good!!!!!!

Dinner was trout fillet seasoned and with a squeeze of lemon, a jacket potato with a smidge of cheese and kale with garlic and chilli.

Me and Phil watched the last 2 episodes of season 10 CSI:Crime Scene Investigation. Fab season!

I then did 40 minutes of yoga followed by a 20 minute guided meditation. So now I'm nice and chilled.

Need to start sorting out my clothes and things I need for this weekend! Hen Weekend baby. Can't wait!

Here is a clip of the Ministry of Sound Pump it Up workout DVD I got yesterday. I'll post one of the Clubland one in a later post. It's great fun and hard work. But I'm finding the dance moves difficult to learn- maybe with doing a few times I'll get better!

What are your plans this weekend?

Happy Tuesday

Hi guys, hope you've had a fab day. Today I had an interview! I think it went well. I won't find out for a couple of weeks if I've got through to the 3rd interview which will be a presentation. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Breakfast was 2 yummy eggs on wholemeal toast. Was feeling super hungry this morning.

After my interview I popped in to see my nan and it got to 3pm and I was starving for lunch so she made me a lean beef and salad sandwich in poppyseed wholemeal bread. Was such a nice sarnie!! Thanks Nan xx

Then I went back home and did the Pump up DVD for the 1st time. My god I got sweaty! It was very hard as the dance moves are very quick and quite hard to get so I did a lot of jogging on the spot or knee lifts when I lost track. I'm hoping with practice I'll get better. Also as I lose weight I hope I can move with a bit more grace as the dancers make it look so sexy and me stomping around is not!!! lol. Tomorrow the Clubland workout should arrive. I may try it tomorrow or may do my yoga DVD but will let you know once I try clubland.

Phil had football tonight so that meant having dinner later and I was really hungry so I did an egg puff a`la Fitnessista. It was yum- I put a few drops of tabasco on.

I then mooched around reading my Zest magazine and watched Eastenders then Phil got home so was time for dinner! A yummy chicken and courgette pesto pasta with some kale on the side. I mixed some chilli, garlic and lemon juice through the kale and it worked really well with the pesto.

Here is a cutie Daisy having a snooze!

Right I'm off to get ready for bed! Catch ya later.

Jealous of my American friends!

Everyone is talking about Turbo Fire. It's a new workout from Chalene Johnson and it looks awesome, very hard but awesome! But it only seems to be available in the USA. I'm hoping they release it here!

But to keep me happy I've got 2 more workout DVDs as I only have 2 and they aren't really that hard. So I have got Ministry of Sound: The Ultimate Dance Workout Pump it Up and Clubland: The Workout of your Life. I've just had a quick look at the Pump it Up DVD and it looks fab. Great songs and workouts. Just hope I can do them! My coordination isn't the best!

Today for breakie I had a slice of wholemeal toast with a poached egg and bacon with all fat removed. Nice :-)

I then did a 30 min cardio workout from my Move More dvd. It was fab :-)

Lunch was a 3 egg white omelette with a sprinkle of paprika and a coconut water.

For a snack later I was a bit naughty and had one of my homemade Lemon and Poppy seed muffins with a cuppa. Was glorious though!!!

I then made some cupcakes for an order tomorrow and made some phone calls and boring stuff like paperwork!

Dinner was pad thai. I luuurve pad thai and I managed to find some brown pad thai noodles which was fab. I chucked in some chicken, prawns, spring onions, chilli, carrot etc. Yumness.

Tomorrow I have an interview. So need to do some prep for that! Fingers crossed!!!
