Hey! Remember me... Im the girl who once upon a time used to blog!

First of all how are we already in the middle of March?? Someone explain that chunk of crazy to me! Everyone kept saying to me once Christmas was out of the way that the wedding would be here before we know it! Well guess what! Its coming thick and fast! Its officially less than 100 days (95 to be exact) and my dress is now hanging up in the shop waiting for my fitting instead of just on order! Shit getting real!

Ive missed my little corner of the internet! I have in no way fallen out of love with blogging at all. I still read blogs every day however I think I just got to the point where I wondered did I have anything of value to say? And was anyone listening anyway? Blogging has become so popular over the last few years and I have been blogging 5 years this year.. I think sometimes you can become a little bit lost wondering where you fit in to the puzzle when actually there is no puzzle to fit into! Blogging is about you!

So I have decided. This blog is going to be what I want it to be. I am not going to ramble and follow what everyone thinks I should be doing or saying. If I want to blog about it I will. I never intended for this blog to be about falling into one category. I want it to be a bit of everything. After all life is made up of everything.

Right.. What have I been up to you ask.. Well in the last month.

Probably the most exciting thing to happen was Adam won a holiday to Mexico! Seriously! 5 Star all inclusive spa resort! I won't go into mega detail but the company he works for (signet) put on an incentive so in May we are jetting off for 7 nights in the sun! Perfect timing for a wedding tan!

To be honest, as excitement, thats about it. Adam and I have been making good use of our Cineworld Unlimited Cards which I am going to review separately. Obviously there have been lots of wedding bits going on too - suit fittings, dress fittings, shoes sorting, table plans, meetings with people.. its all coming together now :)

I hope you are all well. Catch me up with all your gossip!

I mentioned briefly in my last couple of posts that me and Adam completed the Clean 9. Me and Adam started our business with Forever Living last year and straight away we both wanted to complete the Clean 9 so we both decided along with one of my friends at work that we would start on the 4th January - the 1st Monday of the new year.

For those of you who don't know, the Clean 9 is a 9 day detox. The first 2 days of the detox are the most difficult but actually were not as hard as I thought they were going to be.

On days 1 and 2 you don't eat anything. There are special tablets you take (one to speed your metabolism) and you can have a shake for your lunch and you have to drink a heck of a lot of the Aloe Vera Gel (seen in the yellow bottle above) which is an acquired taste - you either love it or hate it - it completely didn't bother me as I was already taking the gel for my IBS.
On days 3 - 9 you can have a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch and a 600 calorie meal for evening meal (which surprisingly goes a long way). The beauty is there is a free food list you can snack from too (fruits and veg's)

Overall on the 9 day detox I lost a total of 10 pounds but even more impressively I lost 28 inches! Adam lost 1 stone 2 pounds - not sure about his inches.

Not only did we loose the weight and inches we also learnt so much about our eating habits. Adam is a big snacker and often leads me astray and I snack quite a bit when I am sat at work. We also noticed that we were seriously over eating as like I say, 600 calories goes a long way. We brought this Hairy Bikers book which has loads of meal ideas in it and they often share 4 however previously Adam and I had been eating such meals between 2 of us. Needless to say our freezer is well stocked up with meals too now.

I have to say it was defiantly worth doing and I would seriously consider doing it again.
