Gym Motivation

Looking for motivation to hit the gym? But you'd rather sit on the sofa re-watching Made in Chelsea from the very beginning wishing you had all the monies whilst eating a bag of haribo and about 973645 cupcakes? 

Yeah, me too! 

One of the best ways I motivate myself to go to the gym (or at least try) is with new gym gear and the total babes that are Sweaty Betty have a totally bangin' sale on RIGHT NOW! 

Below are some of the things I am lusting after from SB. 

All of these item are available form Sweaty Betty

This is my last attempt to get #beachbodready for my holiday to Cyprus in September which I am so excited about! I'm not bragging I'm just really, really excited to get some sun and a break from working 9-5 in a dark office that has bars on the window, it looks like a prison, eeeeek! 

When I do go the gym I like to either do a bit of running or the cross trainer (while watching YouTube videos obvz) and sometimes if I'm feeling fruity I'll do a bit of weight training although sometimes I'm not sure I'm doing it right but I'm a bit of a yolo gal and will do it anyway.

Annoyingly, I hurt both of my knees about a month ago and haven't been going to the gym at all and have lost all form of motivation! What are your tips for staying motivated for going to the gym and keeping fit?

Love,

 P.s You're all beautiful honeybuns and if you want to sit on the sofa eating 27375 donuts that's totally cool too!

Instagram Round Up - May

Instagram is easily my favourite social media platform. I love scrolling through my feed look at pretty pictures and getting inspiration! Recently I've really been loving posting pictures on Instagram so here is a round up of what I have posted in May. Remember you can follow me on Instagram here :) 

1. Last weekend my boyfriend and I took a road trip to House of Farnell. House of Farnell is a Danish Christmas shop but this year was the first time they were open in the Spring, selling lots of gorgeous Spring home wears.

2. Over the past few weeks I have noticed that the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom and I am loving seeing the pink flowers on every other tree on my walk to work.

3. These are flowers my mum bought me for my birthday which was on the 12th May. Peony are my favourite flower so I love when this time of year rolls round and can get them more easily.

4. On my birthday my boyfriend and I went to get cupcakes, my favourite was the lemon one. I love all things citrus.

5. This was my first attempt at making drunk bears with vodka and golden bears. They were good but so strong I could only eat a few.

6. My birthday evening was spent eating coconut and vanilla popcorn and reading Women's Health, not the most exciting way to spend the evening of your 23rd birthday but I enjoyed it (probably because I feel like I just turned 93 hahaha).

7. Recently I have been enjoying anything coconut. This is coconut yogurt with warm berries and nuts on top. I've had this for breakfast a few times, it's pretty tasty and healthy, bonus! Also adding some cinnamon on top is good too.

8. As it was my birthday I treated myself to some new gym clothes. This bra and leggings are both from Sweaty Betty. I love the colours so much! Mint is perfect for Spring/Summer as are the palm trees.

9. Lastly, how gorgeous was the sky one Spring evening? I love living up north as we are always guaranteed pretty pink sunsets in the evening.

What have you been Instagramming lately ?
