Diet Time!!

           So it is the summer and I am living back at home in rainy Fleetwood, and I have decided that what is there better to do than try and get in shape for when I go back to Savannah.
Therefore I am following the diet plan of the Dukan diet, my mum previously did it and lost a lot of weight. If anyone knows me they know that my food is my weakness as all I ever do is eat what I want so this could be difficult.
          I am also going to increase my fitness, although the weather has not permitted me to go running yet I am going to take full advantage of the dry weather with no rain when it comes. I have to get running again, I want to run the Rock and Roll Marathon in Savannah in November so it is time to get training for that.
         I am going to try and kill two birds with one stone as they say by getting in shape, losing weight and being ready to run the marathon in November. I haven't decided yet whether or not to raise money for charity or just run it for fun. And I have no idea what charity to raise it for. I guess I think about that later on but for now, Day 1 of training starts tomorrow.

Here's a plan of the first step of the Dukan Diet:
Only allowed to eat specialized Dukan Oat Bran for breakfast
(1 and half table spoon with milk)
Only allowed to eat protein
Drink Water or Diet Sodas
This should last for maximum of 2 weeks or as long as you can do it..
This is going to be my eating style for the next two weeks.


          


  My exercise is going to be to try and run 3 miles every other day, whilst doing a core work out with push ups every night..Plus stretching to increase flexibility.
This should help me reach my goal weight by losing 15 pounds..But I guess we will see how it goes...

I will let you all know. There should be more blogs about what Ive been up to soon enough...

P.s. If anyone knows of any charities I should raise money for, let me know!!!!

From One Side of the Atlantic to the Other

           So I have finally arrived home after what feels like travelling for a year. And I arrived home and of course it is raining, and its cold. I have no idea how I am going to cope, considering my suitcase is full of jean shorts and shirts I have no clothing to wear whilst it is only 50F. Also I have no clothes that are suitable to wear at golf practice, as I only have skorts and sleeveless shirts so this could be an interesting summer. And quite possible a really cold one.
Me and Justin heading to a pool
party at his neighbourhood.
          My final days in America were spent with my boyfriend and his family in Charlotte. Considering we went to spend a couple of days there and actually stayed for 11 days shows how much fun that we had. I love spending time with his family it is just like being at my house with my family. I feel just so relaxed and it is hard to get that feeling when your not near your family for a long period of time. We got to do loads of fun stuff, we went to the theme park where we got a caricature drawn of both of us. We ate at my favorite restaurant, P.F.Chang. We also just got to hang out and chill which was quite possible the greatest thing, and also got to watch Tiger Woods produce a great comeback during the Memorial.
       Then we left Charlotte and went back to Hilton Head, where my baby treated me to taking me jet-skiing. It was amazing, we went super fast and then I got to drive although I did throw us of. But Justin just laughed at me, and was not super mad which is the best thing about him. He never seems to get fed up of my childish ways. Anyway whilst we were out in the ocean a group of dolphins swam past us. That is quite possibly the greatest memory that I have ever had and I am never going to forget it.
        Now I am going to try and spend the next two months having as much fun as possible with my family and friends and try not to miss the people in Savannah too much. It's difficult when you live in two places, but Fleetwood will always be my home.
Jet-skiing. A memory of a lifetime.
        My goals for the summer though is that I really want to get into shape before I go back, my plan is to lose weight and to get some muscles in the places that I need them. If I can do this I feel like it will give me a great advantage when I get back to Savannah ready to play golf. Golf wise, I am going to keep up the putting drills and try and get better, and also just to have some fun. My other goals is that I want to try and save as much money as possible for when I go back and also I want to start to study Spanish again as I'm taking the class next semester.
      This summer is going to be a great summer I can feel it with the way that it has started. I'll be sure to let everyone know how I'm doing and what I'm doing...
