Healthy snacks and fitness!

Hello lovely readers, 

Recently my eating habits have been ridiculous and I think I try to blame my job but really I should be blaming myself. I work as a waitress and if you're a waitress you'll know the struggle to try not to eat the bad food that is sold! Another thing is sometimes I don't finish work till around 11-12pm and by that time the last thing I want to do is cook a meal, so I'll pick up something from mcdonalds or kfc. I realised that this is making me feel horrible physically and emotionally. 

Eating healthy and exercising DOES make you feel happy. Last year I had a membership for virgin active gym and I went at least 4 times a week, I was also eating proper meals and nowhere near as much bad food as I eat now. Although I have limited time to exercise as I do work full time and the hours are long and tiring I want to try and make time to go for a few runs or even do my own home workouts!

Something I think that is really helpful if you want to do something like this is having someone to do it with you to motivate you. My boyfriend is this person. We are starting to eat healthy together and this is really going to keep us committed.

Here are some healthy snacks I bought for times I'm feeling peckish in-between meals or at work..

Another thing helping me to keep the healthy eating up is an app I used to use and redownloaded "my fitness pal". This app is ridiculously good if you're trying to "diet" or just keep track of what you're eating. It asks you your desired weight and you put in your current weight and it will tell you how many calories you should eat a day! Even if you don't want to lose weight this app is great for just keeping track of what you're eating and how good it is for you. You can also put in exercises which will allow you to get given extra calories to eat. I love this app and will be using it a lot.

This was me last year in april. I want to get back to this by this coming April, I haven't gained a ridiculous amount of weight since this however I need to do some serious toning up because that is what I am lacking. If you're wondering what I did at the gym to achieve this..
