Hey peeps

I went to Sydney for a few days with my sisters so sorry for the lack of posting. I guess you are used to it by now!
Anyway..update time I suppose.

Current Weight: 48.8kg
Goal Weight: 45kg

I have worked out that I will still be in the healthy weight range at 45kg so that’s my current plan. I am going to exercise for an hour a day and cut back carbs.
I posted my diet regime to you guys last week sometime so if you want to copy, feel free.

Some pics from Sydney

Woah! You are all still out there YAY!

I’m so sorry I havent been updating, I have been quite busy lately! You know..morgage/living out of home for the first time/trying to make money to all the bills! But I am definitely inspired to keep up the site now! I haven’t really been watching my weight too much lately either, I havent been to the gym in about 6 weeks!! It’s terrible I know!

I think I will start youtubing again too. I have brown hair now so you probably wont even recognise me! Yepppp what elseee

I have decided to not let my busy schedule stop me going to the gym. I have been using it as an excuse not to exercise but now I am feeling really unfit/lazy. Tomorrow is the first day of my new life! I am going to get up at 7:30am and go to the gym for an hour and a half! Who is with me? Don’t wait until the New Year to start your new diet, start now!

Here’s my new diet/exercise regime..if anybody wants to copy feel free!

Breakfast: All Bran + Soy Milk + 1/2 Banana
Lunch: Yogurt + Grapes
Dinner: Roast Vegetable Wrap
Snacks: Almonds between meals if I get hungry

Exercise: Burn 500 Calories On Treadmill/Elliptical/Bike + Weights

Melissas Diet Tips for 2010

• Fill bottles of water to keep in the fridge. Sometimes when we are dehydrated we eat when really all we need is some calorie free h20!
• Ration your servings out. I already have my cereal and milk for tomorrow morning measured out and ready to go.
• Sugarfree/Low Fat isnt always the way to go. I dont feel satisfied after a low fat/sugarfree yogurt and it sometimes leads to eating more. Now I go for a regular full fat yogurt instead. Way less preservatives too!
• Think of the reasons why you decided to go on a diet in the first place. Do they still apply? Now slowly back away from the block of chocolate
• Dont take life too seriously! If you eat one little bad thing just move on. Don’t get upset about it and end up eating your feelings!

Hey girlies

It feels like I haven’t updated this site in forever! Well here’s the rundown of whats been happening..

I started an offline business so I’ve been working pretty hard with that. That’s why I haven’t been able to post very much on here. But that is about to change! From now on I’ll be posting 5 new things everyday

Also…

I dyed my hair brown! Yep I love it, its my natural colour.

Here’s a pic from a couple of weeks ago, yes I am aware of the scary lady in the background wrecking the photo haha

I know this isn’t diet related but who cares, I’m going to post whatever I like. I’m going to tell you a little story about my makeup and how its affected my skin. All through highschool I never had any pimples. I swear I had three pimples throughout all of highschool. My skin isn’t the type to get them. Strangely..before my 21st birthday (worst possible time!) my skin started breaking out in heaps of pimples! I was quite stressed because this isn’t something I’ve had to deal with before and it was just before my party.

Anyway, ever since my 21st birthday there has been a battle between me and pimples. They are not incredibly noticeable, especially with makeup but they are there and very annoying. So for five months I’ve been trying to get rid of them but they haven’t been going away!

Then I decided to think about what might be causing them. Could it be my diet?
Not really..if anything my diet is healthier now than 5 months ago.

I realised something. When the pimples first started I went out and bought blue clearasil gel facewash. Before this I never used facewash. Could it be that my facewash was causing them?

I decided to go back to using water and see what would happen. I was pleased that they seemed to get a bit better. So now I have gone back to using water.

They still weren’t 100% better. I decided to change my makeup. I used to use Kryolan TV Paint Stick, which is a professional makeup so its quite heavy. I switched to a zinc based makeup and my skin improved again.

My skin had cleared up completely after switching makeup and using water to wash my face at night. I forgot about it and moved on with life. Then something happened the other day to confirm my suspicions about the makeup.

I had a dark spray tan so needed to use a darker foundation. I used my old makeup, the Kryolan. When I removed my makeup that night I noticed lots of pimples again! So I can confirm that it was my makeup causing the pimples.

I decided to share this story with you in case you too are having the same problem. We all want flawless skin now don’t we?

If you have any pimple stories then please share!

Love Mel

Ps: How nice is Natalie Portmans skin!
