AHOY MATEYS! Back to blogging...

After an amaaaaaaazing week in AYIA F**KING NAPA i am back on home ground, tanned, little burnt and motivated as ever!!!! (and i think i may have brought a bit of the nice weather back! :D)


Would have blogged the first day i got back but i had a ton of sleep to catch up on, celebrated my birthday with my gorgeous boyfriend and been back to work! Holiday mode is officially over!
Can't express what an amaazing time i had, was fantastic! Went on bar crawls, Beach party, some amazing nights out; never drank so much alcohol, so i am on one hell of a detox! we wont get into the food i ate either... but i had a pretty lovely surprise! i weighed myself yesterday, and i have only put on 1lb!!!!!!!! 
I was incredibly shocked! There is no exaggeration, i ate and drank a ridiculous amount! but i also danced my ass off for houuurs; not getting home most nights till 6am! 
But i am definitely motivated to lose the lbs, boost my self-esteem and not feel so self conscious the next time i go on holiday!
Another lovely surprise i had when i got home was a bunch of flowers from my boyfriend (who i really missed)... trust me, this is an amazing surprise. i have a wonderful boyfriend but he has never ever ever brought me flowers. not in the 5 years of knowing eachother. the closest i got, was an orchid (i love orchids) because he had p**sed me off, and it was brought out of guilt! But these were beautiful flowers! Just what i needed. I celebrated my birthday while i was in Ayia Napa, so when i got home i opened my Birthday cards from my mum, boyfriend, Auntie, Cousin, Friends... and the one i had been dreading. From my Grandad. My nan was always the card writer... Soon as i opened it, i sobbed. It felt like my world had been turned on its head all over again, even though i always new she wouldn't be writing it this year, it was still hard. I am not much of an emotional person, maybe thats my downfall, because when i do finally cry, i just cant stop. I miss her terribly, but i know she will be glad i had a lovely holiday. 
I got another lovely surprise too on the Monday Evening... there was a knock on the door and another gorgeous bunch of flowers from Chris, with a card with him telling me how much he has missed me! bless him! neither of us are great with words, but i can safely say we are getting better :) We are planning a trip to Birmingham on Sunday night to visit my family, go out for a meal with them for my birthday; its hard being so far away from them, especially when i have  family as amazing as mine; but it means i get to celebrate my birthday a few different times with them, Chris, friends etc... Chris is going to buy me a Pandora for my Birthday present, which i am so excited about. My mum is going to buy me a charm, so is my sister, dad and Chris :) and when i get paid, i am going to buy myself one. As well as all this for my Birthday, I am also about to order The Big Bang Theory Box Set! I love this series! and last night watched the last in Series 5, where Howard and Bernadette finally got married, and he went to space! Sheldon is my favourite character by far, and i think the acting and script are genius! BAZINGA!


Anyway, after all my rambling.... Day one, new day, new me! ( i am sure i have said this 1000000 times, but now my holiday is out the way, i have nothing to take me off track! ) I have started the day with some porridge and an Actimel... although these aren't actual actimel! they are the new Morrisons own owes- much cheaper and lush! I had a blueberry and blackberry one this morning, and its yum! Just deciding what to have for lunch, but i am considering a jacket sweet potato with chicken, beetroot salad and salad! then i am off to work, where i will be taking a Weight Watchers ready meal! I have decided i will go back to Weight Watchers in the next 4-8 weeks, i would just like to try and lose some lbs on my own first :)!


Anyway, as always, im welcome to your support, advice and a good old chit chat!
Ill blog again tomorrow :) (and the day after... and the day after that...)
