Getting My Life Together

Hello,

So back in March I hit 25, which now means I need to get myself together. With my BMI being high and me being so tired all the time and demotivated with anything in life I decided this is the year I will change and become the healthier version of myself.

I started by doing a HITT workout along with strength training right in my own home. I follow Lucy Wyndham Read on social media and I follow her workouts each day on Youtube.
Click HERE to see her channel as I would highly recommend her !, if your in doubt just read her story HERE and I can assure you will want to become a strong Lucy Squad Member.

I have also started my cleaner eating as I have suffered with IBS for years now and i feel great im losing the weight I feel energized and i'm even getting up at 5am to exercise before work ..... I Know Right :)

I will be doing a connected blog post on my transformation once I get o my goal weight and size but there is a transformation page over on Lucy's website :)

Hope your all well

Love

IBS and Anxiety

Hello,

I have been dealing with IBS and Anxiety for a good couple of years now and I know that alot of social media, Bloggers and Youtubers have come out and made content on the subject. I'm really happy that now more people are coming to terms with mental illness and not brushing the subject off.

I wanted to go through my story in case I can help anyone at all out there that's going through the same thing which is the most important part of this "Your Not Alone"

It started back in around 2012 when on nights out I would start to get a nervous stomach and use to think everyone was staring at me and the room always use to feel as if it was closing in.
I always thought it was just me or the alcohol I was drinking, but over time it seems to be I become nervous when I know I have an event or need to get somewhere new.

Although my IBS goes hand in hand with my Anxiety as I always feel nervous traveling or being in public and feeling like I need to rush to the loo to put it lightly, which then puts me in a anxiety state.

Back in 2014 I was diagnosed with IBS and I have struggled ever since, a girl who loves food being told to only eat certain foods was hard.
They told me to diet or follow a FodMap Diet and I always try my best but everyone has slip ups right ?

Tips for IBS

1. Always drink plenty of water to flush through your digestive system

2. Peppermint Oil tablets work wonders on wind and for any ingestion you can get from having IBS

3. Buscpan is amazing for bloating and cramps

4. Not eating over 8pm has helped me alot for each morning I get up now

Tips for Anxiety

1. Never just think of the negatives in the situation your nervous for (you can always make out it will be 10 times worse and that's not always the case)

2. I listen to calming apps on my i-phone when im traveling to calm me and take my mind off my IBS

3. If things become worse - take yourself away from the situation for 5-10 minutes (for example when I was out in a pub or club I would just sit outside or in the toilets and gather my thoughts before continuing)

4. I have now found out Netflix have a download bit so you can watch on the go so I will download a film and watch it on the way to work and back to take my mind off IBS symptoms

If you are struggling with any mental health or illness please see someone and talk to someone, easier said than done I know but its truly the best way to get it off your chest and get help for easier day to day life.

Thinking On Your Own ..... Positive Post

Hello Everyone,
( Sorry if people find this blog post soppy but all below is my opinion)
So I always end up drifting off when ever im sat alone in quiet or commuting to work every day. I know this blog post has maybe been done 100 times and yet I think its important to always inject this subject to social media and I will be happy if this helps at least 1 person that stumbles across my blog.

More than half the population sit there doubting themselves and not happy with some part of their life or the way they look.

I can honestly say I have done this many of times and recently as I get older I start to wonder why we all do it ?

I think its very important to love yourself before committing to anything in life. Weather this be in your self or your self motivation.

If you look at this way your born as you are, you can not change this and no one else is born the same so you should expect this and life your life. Try to become the best version of your self.

I'm working on myself at the moment as I have sat there and got stuck in the dark on how I feel about everything.
First I suffer with IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) and this effects many aspects of my life. I will be doing a full blog post on this soon.
Second I get stuck in a rut with what direction im taking in life career wise as if always been into the social/beauty/fashion/wedding industry and yet I have a 9-5 job.
So im taking steps even if they are baby steps its something right ?

I will be experimenting with different diets to see what suits me and makes me feel amazing.
I have signed up to the body shop at home so I get involved in my own business and the industry I've always wanted to get into.
I  have started blogging again so I can have my own creative corner back.

I just want to say just right down somewhere private the things that have been playing on your mind and see if there's substitutes to focus on and things you can improve to make you feel good.
Theres things in life that we can not control so take each day as it comes (coming from me that has organised every second of her life).

Please take care of yourselves and surround your self with positive people/thoughts.

Have a Great day 

Love

Becky
