Hello you! Amber here, well, it’s not gonna be anybody else, is it?!
So, today’s post is about me becoming healthier in myself, and the steps I will be taking to do soβ¨
So, I’ve noticed that lately, I’ve not been doing as much exercise as I should be doing, and it’s causing me to be lazy, which is not a good habit to get into! So, here are some of the things I’m doing, and my mum is being really supportive about it, she’s finding healthy recipes for snack bars, nutritious dinners π So, thanks mum π
1. Exercising at least once a week
I will be exercising at least once a week, whether that is going on a walk with my mum, going swimming, or doing a work-out on a fitness app (getting on to that subject can anybody recommend any free fitness apps? ππ»ββοΈ)
2. Eating healthier
I am now being aware of what I’m eating, as I want to feel healthy in myself, and I can’t if I’m shovelling un-nutritious food in my mouth (I’m not mocking you – I’m still doing it π) For after school snacks, me and my mum are going to make these lovely snack bars that look really good.
3. Eat more fruit and veg
Yep, I’m not veg’s number one fan – who is though?! But I need to get over it and eat them because they are good for me and if I want to be healthy, I need to suffer some of the down-sides.
4. Get more sleep
Yes, I literally am always tired, and it’s really not good for my general health. I need to make sure I get 9-10 hours of sleep (don’t judge, I love sleep π΄). Fun Fact, you know you spend half your life in bed? Just food for thought π
5. Take my vitamins
I suffer with a basically, crap immune system π It’s so bad I’ve donated a whole page of my bullet journal to tracking when I get ill so I can see if the vitamins are helping. If you ask my friends, they’ll tell you that I’m ill a lot. I’ve missed a lot of school, I need to get control of it before it gets worse π€
Well, who thinks that I’m going to be able to get healthier?
Do you believe in me?
Are you suffering from potato syndrome (Bayance, I’ve got to quit potato club π)

I too suffer from this. Your goals are very realistic which I love. Iβll definitely try to exercise much more regularly. Starting with once a week.
Great tips π
Donβt worry then, your not the only one suffering from it! Thank you, I try to aim small (kinda) and then aim higher, but Iβm all about baby steps π Yasss! Thatβs a great star, Eva, once a week is a realistic goal that Iβm sure youβll manage to achieve π Iβm exercising once a week aswell! And itβs (surprisingly) working out for me!!
Thank you for checking out my lilβ blog,
Amber x
ps Iβll defo be checking out your blog!
Starting and staying on is the biggest challenge. I don’t know why exercising is such a chore for me. I can diet but exercising is such a challenge.
Small and steady wins the race:)
Wow! Well done! Keep it up Amber!!! ππ
Thanks Hannah, Iβve slipped up a bit, but over-all Iβve tried, and I think thatβs what counts β¨ Thanks for reading π
Totally!
We have a lot in common lol! I really should sleep more too, Iβm just never tired at night! Sorry Iβve been missing your posts, Iβve been away!
Yep, itβs good to know Iβm not the only person struggling with fitness and sleep-struggles π Yeah, itβs really difficult. Iβm tired when I wake up, but not (always) when itβs night time β¨ Iβm pretty sure thatβs why they invented binge-watching π or binge-reading (me).
No worries! π I wondered where youβd gone, but I thought that everybody needs to take a break from blogging and you were probs away! π Great to have you back!

I can definitely relate to this Amber! β¨ Honestly the amount of times Iβve decided to go for a run & the amount of times itβs not actually happened is too many times to count! π I donβt use any fitness apps but maybe I should get one for the purpose of more self motivation, who knows? And, I try to get around 8-9 hours of sleep each night, so Iβm not judging you! π€ Some of my friendβs stay up & watch Netflix until midnight, and I seriously cannot do that, otherwise Iβd literally be a walking zombie! π Sorry for the little anecdote there! Great post as usual Amber! π Autumn x
Yep, itβs good to know Iβm not the only potato in this world π (Iβm not calling you a potato btw, just saying itβs good to know Iβm the only one who struggles to get motivated to get out and go for a run! ((Dinβt want you taking that the wrong way…)) )
Self-motivation is definitely something I lack when it comes to fitness. If I find any apps, I will be letting you know! β¨ Thatβs really good! π 8-9 is roughly what I (am trying) to get but I think if I get a couple more hours, I will be a bright ray of sunshine! βοΈ Same here, Iβm just like βHow did you get out of bed in the morning?!β, I donβt think I would be able to get out of bed… π΄π No worries π
Thanks Autumn, thank you for the lovely, relatable comment π

Forget *
Iβm definitely a person with potato syndrome.πͺ Sad to say this though.
How I wish to eat a little healthier and get into exercising for good! But the only exercise I do is in my head. π€ͺ And needless to say Iβm a proclaimed foodie. So when I get to eat an extra cheese burger or anything thats tempting, I literally forgot about eating healthy. π€¦ββοΈ
Anyways, good luck with your goals girl! ππ
Join the club girl! π I know, itβs not a club that Iβm proud of.
Tell me about, food is the way of life, but I think I eat too much of whatβs not good for me than what is, which is not good. Itβs great to enjoy food and have the n-healthy stuff, because believe me, Iβm not going to stop eating my body-weight in chips and burgers, just maybe reduce it π Yep, all that matters is that delicious burger… π
Thanks Minnu! Same to you on your goals β¨

Thanks, Priyasha! π Heh, same here! Theyβre just too good… π
I DEFINITEY have potato syndrome XD. I’m also trying to get more sleep and eat healthier! Good luck with your goals!! π
Lolz, join the group girl! π Yep, itβs definitely good things to try in the habit of π Thanks, you too! π
I definitely suffer from potato syndrome π. I keep telling myself that I will start exercising once iβm done with this never-ending pile of uni work. Thank fully itβs all die on monday so I can get to my being healthy goals soon. Have you tried the βMyFitnessPalβ app btw? Itβs good for tracking what youβre eating and shows you calories and nutritional values. Good luck with your goals!! π
due*
Join the group π Same here, once Iβve finished all my school-work Iβm like, Iβm going to go for a walk! And then I just end up collapsing on the couch, binge-watching π Thatβs great! Now Iβm back in routine, I can hopefully fit in some time to exercise. Oooo, Iβve not tried that app yet! π It sounds great, definitely something Iβm looking forward to checking out π Thank you soo much for recommending an app! β¨ And thanks for reading Minna π

No worries, Iβve been using the app for a long time and I find it really useful. Wishing you all the best Amber x
