OK so the last post I actually wrote was about me getting in shape for America and this becoming my “fitness diary”. Now what actually happened is I did do it for a while and lost a load of weight (YAY me!). But then things changed, I met my amazing boyfriend and then in December last year (2016) I had a car crash…

Think totally flipped over, glass everywhere and you’ll be about right, my beautiful blue, 2014 reg, ford ka that I bought as soon as I started work and as soon as I could afford it with my own money went to the big scrapyard in the sky (I still have the memories of her)…

So funnily enough the exercise kind of stopped and I gain back the weight I had vowed to lose and keep off. A few months later and went on a diet and thought I would be motivated enough to start again with the running and pilates but that didn’t work out because now I have a back injury from the car accident that only lets me do tiny bits of exersise at a time. Which didn’t leave me enough time to lose the weight that I wanted to.

Anyway I’ve gone on long enough already so im gonna cut the story short and tell you the ending… I went to America as I was (11st bang on) and you know what? I didn’t care, I may not of been the smallest person on the beach but I certainly wasn’t the biggest. I was happy and confident and didn’t care that my cellulite was hanging out in my swimming costume, my boobs looked awesome! I’m happy with my body and it’s take a beating to get to where I am! So I’m happy - and here’s a selfie of me in a smokey yosemite national park to go with it!

Stay safe, Luce x

I'm Back With a Plan...

So after never really using this blog properly I'm using now as my personal fitness diary 💪💪 There's many many reasons why I've decided it's about time to get my fat ass of the sofa and finally do some exercise. The main reason being that I don't want to be the fat friend when I go on my American tour next year... But also because it's about time I stopped eating crap while sitting at my desk and time I stop making excuses and actually do something... So here's what I'm doing: 1) pilates - toning up so I can look acceptable in a bikini 2) the occasional run - I say occasional because sometimes I have the tendency not to get up early enough in the morning but you know what that's OK I'm starting slowly 3) not weighing myself - this is about how I perceive myself not a bunch of numbers on a screen 4) drinking a shit ton of water - it's time I finally gave up coke and drank something good for me instead as much as I will miss it! I'd like to take this time in saying - I'm just a normal 20 year old so I don't know much about fitness but I am determined and ill get there eventually. Ive just got to take it a day at a time 💪💪💪💪 ok so I have 12 months... Let's go

1. The friends you have at the beginning of the year can completely change by the end of it. People change, and if they aren’t improving your life in some way, it’s okay to drop them. 2. Take many pictures. Don’t let it take over your life, though. You don’t want to look back and see that you only captured your memories with your camera lens and not within your mind and heart. 3. Find your safe place. Whether it be in the arms of a certain person or on the balcony of Barnes and Nobles with a cup of soup, find it and don’t let it go. You can have more than one safe place. 4. Be nice to everyone. You honestly don’t know what skeletons people are hiding in their closets. Everyone has their skeleton. Every person on this earth has something in their life or past worth collapsing on the ground in uncontrollable sobs over. 5. Reading is so important. Highlight the things that you read that you find intriguing. Read a lot, it can only do good things for you. 6. Writing always helps. 7. The girl with anxiety has the deepest thoughts. The autistic boy has the kindest heart, and the schizophrenic has the ability to put a smile on your face in seconds. Do not judge character based on a mental illness. 8. Music has an indescribable ability to connect and heal. Let it do its thing. 9. Her prettiness doesn’t make your prettiness any less pretty. 10. Getting close and letting someone in is scary as hell. You know what else it is? Worth it. 11. The minute you feel your happiness being dictated by someone else, take a break from them. 12. Adventuring is a must. Sunsets always help the soul, showing that endings can be as beautiful as beginnings. 13. Spend more time with your parents doing things they enjoy. Later in life, you’ll be wishing you’d spent more time with them than on your Netflix account. 14. Home is not always a place, but whatever you love with your whole heart. I have many homes, and it’s okay if one home doesn’t feel like home anymore. 15. Making someone smile and feel genuinely happy has the ability to warm your heart from the inside out. No matter how much pain someone is going through, you made them forget about it for a few seconds. Isn’t that something? 16. Feel everything and let it hurt, but don’t go back to what broke you. 17. Don’t let fear hold you back from what you want. The view from the other side is spectacular. 18. Tell people how you feel. Even if you’re scared it’ll burn your life to the ground. You say it loud. 19. You find the most extraordinary things in the most ordinary places. 20. Swollen lips and sweaty “I want you’s” can make you feel again, but I don’t want to feel anything if it means having to sit there feeling like the wind is constantly being knocked out of me when he stops calling back. 21. Sometimes the way you think of someone isn’t the way they actually are. 22. Never underestimate the amount of joy the holiday season can bring you. Try and find ways to feel that way all year long. 23. Timing is never going to be perfect; if you care about something enough, you’ll make the time. It’s all about priorities. 24. If women used their words to build each other up instead of tearing each other down, our world would change drastically. 25. Recovery can take 2 weeks or 5 years. You aren’t any less of a person if it takes you longer to find a way to let go of what’s hurting your heart. 26. You only need yourself, but having people by your side trying to understand means a lot more than you might think. 27. You find your truest friends in your darkest hours. 28. You can feel the whole world in a month and nothing after 2 years. Time does not define love. 29. Always say yes to dessert. 30. Concerts make life worth living. So does yelling your favorite song along with your best friend in the car with your best friend with hands intertwined. These are things that show you that you don’t need to be on drugs to feel invincible. 31. So does kissing.

do you ever just smell an old perfume, or hear an old song, or pass an old hangout spot and kinda break inside for a couple minutes

No.2 England Rubgy Hoodie 22/03/15

So after returning to scotland yesterday this hoodie was sat round a neighbours house waiting for me to go and get it.

Ever since I was little I have been taken on a sunday morning to watch my brother play rugby and being little I only went for the Bacon Cob (roll/bap/whatever you want to call it) though it wasnt long before I found my self not only enjoying the bacon cob but also the game that I was being made to watch…

This lead to many years of watching my brother play, nottingham rugby (local team) and international matches that were always on in our house (depending on how england did would set the mood for the rest of the week).

Rugby is definalty one just of those things people dont expect me to know anything about…

Just because I didn’t beg for you doesn’t mean I didn’t want you to stay.

I Didn’t Let You Go Without a Fight (#689: October 7, 2014)

[lucesdream]

So im really bad at remembering to write something on here, so i’m going to try a different tactic. I will be taking a picture everyday and explaining what the story is behind the picture and where it was taken. So here is no1. Lossiemouth, Scotland. So this was taken a day or two ago while i was on holiday up in scotland. I really really needed this holiday. Just to get away from work for a week has been amazing… It really is worth the 9 hour drive to get up there if not just for the beaches. I didn’t think that this picture would be up to much but i was wrong and it didnt turn out all that bad in the end. Luce x

Day Three: pound pubs...

So while working in a town know for real ale you get used to seeing lots of pubs about that charge over the odds for a pint or a glass of wine. However a new pub has just opened, Pound Pub. Yes that does means that you can get half a pint for £1 and a full pint for £1.50… I really worry for the person who thought this was a good idea. The town I work in isn’t know for the nicest of people living there but seriously they have a licence that means they can be open from 9am and yes I have seen quite a few people in there at that time… Your not gonna get the nicest people in there… I think the might have a direct phone line through to the police station soon

(I promise it will be more interesting tomorrow)

Ciao, Luce x

Day Two: Failed Already

Ok so on the second day I failed miserably and missed posting. But in my defence I was re watching game of thrones so. Then when I was gonna post some documentary on the marines basic training, which had me, my brother and my parents in stitches, came on and I completely forgot. But seriously it's halrious and you should watch it if you live in the UK I was gonna say how my day was but seriously it was pretty average and boring. And I have nothing more to say really. Ciao x

Day One: Getting to Know You (or Me)

So, this is new to me. I’m defiantly not expecting anyone to read what I’m putting but hey that’s how life goes. It’s just nice knowing that I have somewhere to put all my rants and ramblings on about trivial things that hopefully some people can relate to. I think there are a few things that people should know about me so they have some background when reading this and future posts. 

1. I’m an 18 year old girl living in Nottinghamshire, England.

2. I live with my parent, dog and have an older brother in the army and another who I never see

3. I’m happy with the way my life is turning out. I currently doing a apprenticeship, studying for a degree and hoping for a permanent job at the end of the apprenticeship.

4. I love the maine, photography, dancing, rugby and travelling.

The stuff I post may some times be controversial and offend some people but honestly I don’t mean to offend just hear me out and if anything still offends you then send me a message and I will try and explain my reasoning as best I can.
