MyFitnessPal!
Yep, I'm on the myfitnesspal kick! I've been really good, logged everything for 14 days in a row! You literally put in every single thing you eat or drink and it keeps a track of your calorie intake, fat, carbs, sugar...etc etc. It's so so useful if you want to lose weight and watch what you eat because you think ooh...if I eat that I might go over my target...and then you don't eat it! Or at least I don't!
I've found the best way to do it is log your main meals for the day first, so it helps if you plan what to have for lunch and dinner, then you can see how many calories you have left for snacks and things during the day. When you first sign up it asks you for your weight and then your goal. You get the option to control how many pounds you want to lose a week and it recommends the right amount for you. So if you don't weigh too much to start with it will tell you not to try and lose 2.5lbs a week! Then it'll calculate how many calories you should be having a day. For women the GDA is 2000, but this doesn't help you to lose weight, just maintain it, the app cuts this amount down to the right number for you and tells you the percentage that should be fat, carbs and protein too. You can add in exercise for the day, whether it's walking upstairs, pushing a pram (brilliant for when I was working in a nursery!) or actually playing a sport. There's even a water consumption section! Then at the end of the day you end the diary and the tracker tells you what you would weigh in 5 weeks time if you ate in the same way everyday. For me this is really motivating since it gets me thinking hmm...if I carry on eating under my calorie goal everyday for a few weeks I could actually see results! Setting realistic goals is a breeze with this app, and the best part is...it isn't just an app! There's a website so if you don't have your phone, or you don't have an apple product or anything similiar you can still use it online.
I'd recommend it for anyone! I've lost 2lbs this week and I'm thrilled...I can't wait to see the tracker start to move more! I've added it onto my main blog page so if you want to keep up to date with me this is the way to do it...thanks everyone!

University
It's not a tag!! Woohoo...party party and all that jazz.
I'm off to university in a few weeks and so I thought I'd show you some of the bits and pieces I've got together so far!
I got this bedding from ASDA...snazzy ;) It's a really nice natural colour with a vintage champagne label design on it.
This cushion is from ASDA too...you can see it on the picture of the bedding as well! It just fits the Paris theme too well!
I would've preferred a lighter colour but the beige looked more like a khaki to me. It's so so soft!
I haven't got this exact one since I'm just taking my dads but this is the closest I found! And I'd have probably gone for this one if I had to.
These were for my desk but the wrong colour was sent so they've had to go back :( I'm definitely going to get some more from somewhere though...to go with the next item...
These are water beads! I heard about them a while ago but you basically get a 10g pack of tiny beads (about the size of million sweets!) and add 1l of water before leaving them for 24 hours. They soak it all up and expand to look like the picture! It's so so cool! I got a gold glitter but you can get a lot of different colours. Oh and then you put them in a vase with flowers by the way :)
I needed to get a hairdryer since I share with my mum! This was quite cheap from Argos so it's a win win :)
This is a babyliss curling wand/tong/iron thingy!
A boring thing! A four plug, surge protection extension lead! It's just needed.
I love this umbrella! It comes in a load of colours but I just went with yellow because it looked nice and cheery for rainy days :)
I got this raincoat in the top left colour! If they had black polka dot I'd have had that but they don't :( And the pink was a bit too much for me!
Right that's about all! Except for the reallllly dull stuff like plastic boxes and kitchen stuff!
