Chernobyl

~ I've always been mildly fascinated by the Chernobyl Disaster. Obviously it was an extremely sad event but the deserted places have a strange peacefulness to them and I love how nature is starting to take over again ~

Fitness and Weight Loss

I've finally started to do something about my body. I know they say that exercise is only a small percentage of actual weight loss, but I've been doing a lot alongside my healthier eating. I'm home from school now, but at school we had a gym I could use every day which was handy, and of course eating less at school is much easier as there aren't any snacks around to tempt you. Being at home now will be more of a challenge, but I'm starting to see the effects so hopefully I'll be able to keep going. I'm planning on doing one of those before/after photos once the results are very noticeable.

These are some workouts I'm planning on using this summer:

Healthy eating is the key!

Some inspirational bodies. Because I'm a sports player, I won't be able to have a stick skinny body as I need the muscles. That's why I find photos like these great, because they show such healthy bodies that don't have a 'thigh gap' or no curves at all. That's just my opinion though. Obviously that very skinny look works for a lot of people and they look great; just not me.

~ he's so gorgeous I can't deal. I have so much love for the Arctic Monkeys too, no idea what my favourite song is though. There's too many to chose from ~

Lip Piercing

For a while now I've been thinking about a new piercing to get and I've finally decided which one. It'll look like one of these three (lip not smiley) but I can't choose which one. I think I like the bottom photo most, then the top then the middle. Oh, and I'll be getting it on the left side of my lip.

I can't do it right now as my school would go crazy because of their piercing policies which all suck, but this time next year I'll be going on study leave for my A-levels so that will be the best time to do it.

My dad is fine with this since he believes it's my body so I should be allowed to do what I want, but my mum is completely against any piercings and tattoos. It's kind of irritating that she's so close-minded about it but I don't care because as soon as I'm 18 she won't have any control over it.
The only problem I have is if it affects any jobs I try and get. To be honest though, any job which would reject me simply because I have a lip piercing is not a job I want. I suppose I could get something less conspicuous like my friend who will be getting her smiley done (see above for that). I have a year to decide though so I won't be making any set in stone decisions yet.

South of France Take Two

So we went to a slightly different place this time, but it was still beautiful, maybe more so. We visited all the old towns and castles which looked like something out of a fairy tale. The weather was lovely (as you can see from my sunbathing photo). The food was great too, and I think I ate way too many crepes. I don't have any names of the places we went, sorry, but I'll try and find out as I want to know the name of the castle above as it was truly beautiful. Also, more photos will be coming as they are on my camera and these were just taken with my phone, so watch this space.
