Look and feel great

I was posed a very interesting question last week,” how do I stay trim and toned while eating so much chocolate, some people have all the luck”. 
Well I defiantly say it’s not luck, so what is my trick, well I exercise every day, 3 days hard and in between toning, I don’t drink a lot of alcohol (empty calories) and eat healthily except for the chocolate which is my treat.  I would rather be bigger and toned than skinny and saggy, so take pride in myself, smile and walk up straight  and that combined with the below is my trick to feeling and looking great.  

1.        Whether you like it not you have to exercise, start with a brisk walk for the legs.  Don’t stand still whether it be brushing you are brushing your teeth or drying your hair incorporate some exercise.

2.       For the tummy trying the “puking” cat, stand on all fall, breath out and then pull your tummy button in and hold for a count of 10 repeat 12 times. 

3.       To help get rid of the love handles, take some weights and while watching TV, hold the weigh in one hand and lean down to the side and then up again. 

4.       Sit up straight and walk tall, don’t slouch, you will be surprised at the difference it makes and you will also ooze with this confidence you did not know you had.

5.       Eat properly and at a table sitting up straight, you’ll make sure your food is digested properly.

6.        Never go to sleep with your make up on, your skin will be so grateful. Put a 5 minutes mask on once a week normally while making lunch for the next day.

7.       Moisturise every morning and evening from toe to chin.  Use a firming cream to help tone up.

8.       Never forget your SPF and stay out of the sun!!!!

9.       Limit the coffee and other junk and yes alcohol, despite all the jokes we make wine is not the answer to everything. 

10.   Make sure your bra fits properly, this will enable your clothes to fit even better and you will look great. 
Now happy moisturising and remember 1, 2 , 3 - 1, 2, 3 and you'll be toned up in no time. 
And to get going for the summer, this lovely off the shoulder New Look 6173 summer dress, the material I used is really stretchy so no zip needed.
