As regular readers will know by now, I’m loving the healthy lifestyle and clean eating way of life.

Trouble is, we’ve just come back from three calorific weeks in the US and although I did try quite hard, I’m only human and the yummy Yankee fare got the better of me a bit!

But home now and back to the regime that had me feeling tip top for our long awaited trip and saw me wearing shorts for the first time since my late teens! How awkward do I look in the pic above I boldly posted on my Instagram?? That took SO much courage for me!!!!

I have a mahoosive cellulite problem for a skinny bird – it is THE bane of my life – but although I haven’t been able to banish it completely I finally felt it was minimal enough to throw caution to the wind and go for it. Once I took the initial plunge, it was shorts central for me and I was so grateful for them in 100 degree heat every day!

So, to ensure I’m keeping my orange peel at bay the best I can, I’m on it  like a car bonnet once more and I am absolutely LOVING my superfood mixes from Loveyourblender

We took some on holiday and mixed up some magic as everywhere we stayed provided an all-singing, all-dancing mixer for our pleasure so we had beautiful healthy smoothies every day. I love that you can have them delivered direct to your door and that they have natty little selection boxes which I think are fab to give as gifts for your health-conscious homies!

I also had the mix on top of Greek yoghurt one morning and even though this a pants picture, I thought I’d share as these are my everyday breakfast location #goals!

While we were Stateside, I shopped up a storm in athleisure – like my gym drawer isn’t already overflowing – so I can’t wait to try out my new Nikes and a ton of lustworthy lycra. But hands down, my fave gym gear of 2016 has got to be my Lorna Jane looks from Style Sportif. A winner for workouts and classes, they have SO many labels under one cyber roof and this mesh vest is my go-to look every time. It allows me to wear one of my endless colourful tanks without baring my mini-muffin top, which as we all know is never a good look!

I team it with Lorna Jane slinky Izzy tights which are tights but not as you know them!

These hug me in all the right places and flash just a hint of flesh with the luxe mesh panels. I LOVE the high rise waistband and the support they give all over. Lorna Jane is an Australian brand which has fast become my lust-have for working out.

After the gym, I’m usually rushing to pick up the foodshop or grab whatever essentials I need before dashing home for the two school runs we now juggle, since we changed my eldest’s middle school – read all about that here – so when I’m mid-dash I need a healthy snack as what’s the point of all that slog and then ruining it by eating crap afterwards?

Enter these li’l cuties, handmade scrumptious protein squares by FitFood which totally break from the usual mould of super rubbery, tasteless treats you find in most of the big stores.

I have 100% confidence in these because I actually know Danii, who lovingly makes each and every one in her kitchen, after working a full day, ensuring every square is packed full of goodness and gains.  Now that is a labour of love!

I also love the idea of supporting a small, hardworking business where you get what you pay for and what you put in your mouth is not full of nasties.

So, wish me luck keeping that cellulite in the cupboard, I’m aiming for an LBD body for all the imminent Christmas parties coming up!!!!
