2012 - The Year to get fit

So, my wedding is about 6 months away and I would love to lose as much weight as possible, but more importantly I want to get fit! I went to the doctor's not long ago and she told me that everything was great health-wise but that I needed to maintain my exercise regime, which currently includes - walking/jogging 4 miles 3 to 4 times a week and doing crunches and push ups at home. I have recently been inspired to up my game by this blog Get fit with Nic. Nic is a mum and she looks absolutely fabulous!! Check out her blog for workout tips and pics of her to motivate you, it sure motivates me.

Anyway, a few months ago, I posted a list of workout songs, and here is a new list sent to me by Chris Lawhorn of www.runhundred.com for top 10 workout songs for February:

Flo Rida - Good Feeling (Jaywalker Remix) - 127 BPM

Jay Sean & Nicki Minaj - 2012 (It Ain't The End) - 126 BPM

Cobra Starship & Sabi - You Make Me Feel... (Felix Leiter Remix) - 127 BPM

Beatfreakz - Somebody's Watching Me - 129 BPM

R.I.P Whitney Houston

What more can I say? This was devastating to wake up to- to hear that one of the greatest artists has left us so suddenly and at such a young age. We will always love you Whitney! Your songs have helped so many of us through difficult times and you will always be remembered x

Domestic Goddess

So, I know it's been ages since I have blogged, soz :/
Anyway, life has kept me very busy with wedding planning and all the other baskets  I put my egg in. so one of the things I have just decided to take up again is baking :)
I was inspired to put up some recipes of things I bake and cook by this lovely blog, Cupcakes and Cashmere. So this weekend I have baked about 50 White Chocolate and Raspberry cookies and they went down a treat. Here is the really simple recipe from www.allrecipes.co.uk and pictures of my cookies x

Ingredients

Serves: 25

• 225g (8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
• 225g (8 oz) caster sugar
• 170g tube Carnation Condensed Milk
• 350g (12 oz) self-raising flour
• 150g (5½ oz) white chocolate, chopped
• 175g punnet raspberries

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1.

Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4.

2.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until pale, and then stir in the condensed milk. Sift in the flour and then work into a soft dough with your hands. Mix in the chocolate.

3.

Take a small handful of dough and flatten with your fingers. Place 2-3 raspberries into the centre of the cookie and fold over the sides of the dough to encase the raspberries. Repeat with the remaining dough.

4.

Place onto parchment lined baking trays, spacing well apart and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown at the edges, but still a little soft.

5.

Leave to cool slightly and set before transferring to a cooling rack.
