Life Detox?

(Me before I went for a jog with my little brother)

Hi! I've been having a bit of a health kick lately which was definitely much needed. Of course in no way do I think I'm overweight and I know some people will give me the "you're slim, why are you doing this?" lecture but in my opinion, there is no harm in keeping your body the healthiest it can be - particularly if it makes you happy. And for me it does, there's such a sense of satisfaction knowing you're looking after yourself. Does anyone else get that? It's also nice to see a difference in your body and general health. I haven't been exercising long enough to see a difference in that just yet but I have noticed a huge difference in my skin. I've always drank a lot of water as I'm just not a fan of any fizzy drinks or juices but the change in my diet has really had a huge impact on my skin and for the first time in a while I'm actually very happy with it. Yay! 

Up until a few weeks ago I was literally sleeping and eating crap on repeat every single day. Although this was fun, I did start to feel guilty every time I ate 3 packets of crisps in one sitting and sort of felt like I was sleeping my life away. Don't get me wrong, I still sleep a lot, I can't function without an afternoon nap but it's nothing compared to what it was and I find I'm actually getting things done for once! (I mean, two blog posts in two days is impressive for me.) 

I used to skip breakfast pretty much every single day and then turn into a little cereal fiend at night time but lately I've really been enjoying breakfast. My favourite at the moment is a mixed fruit smoothie - mainly banana, berries and kiwi with some coconut milk and natural yoghurt (see photos above). I do lose motivation and creativity by dinner time so if anyone has any ideas for healthy but super tasty meals please let me know in the comments! But yeah, I've pretty much just been focusing on myself a lot lately and doing the things that make me happy rather than thinking about what everyone else would want me to do. There's nothing wrong with being a bit selfish every now and again.
