Feeling The Stripes This Spring

Spring has finally arrived and I'm definitely feeling like it!

I've never really had stripey tops but since joining university I've seemed to have accumulated quite a collection. No idea how.

I woke up feeling fresh so was motivated to go out and about. Giving me the idea to shoot some photos of one of my newly bought stripey tops! 

A simple and casual look for days just like today!

My DECHOX journey - Week 3

I have had such a busy week I can't even remember most of it.

This week I won't go through day by day purely because It would take too long.

As it's getting closer to Easter I feel the need to want to eat chocolate. Especially as my Gran gave the family an egg and its sitting in the living room staring at me. 

So by that you can guess I've traveled back to Norfolk for the Easter holiday. Although I'm back in Cambs for the weekend for work, then back home again on the Monday. Looking forward to a roast though. 

I'm over half way of my DECHOX and it's going extremely well with only 9 days left until I can eat chocolate again, yay! 

I have a found a way that suits me if I do get the odd craving. Tea. I drink green tea. It fills me up and even though it's not sugary it still stops it. 

Here are a couple of photos from this week.

My DECHOX journey - week 2

Monday 7th March 2016

Today was the first day I've had a lay in in a long time and I took full advantage of it! I went to the gym this evening. Is it just me but after being at the gym you feel the need to not eat junk food? I get it every time which is a bonus, no chocolate cravings for me!

Tuesday 8th March 2016

My mum, the supporter that she has been all my life. However, today she decided to text me asking how my DECHOX was going. So of course I told her. Not knowing that she'd then start chatting to me about Easter eggs. Thanks mum. She asked me how I'd if she sat there eating an Easter egg in front of me when I go back to Norfolk for the Easter holidays. She kept asking me if I was tempted to eat some chocolate... loving the support mum :').

Wednesday 9th March 2016

Another day off, yay! Though obviously the evening spent as revs as per usual. Today was an easy day. Although, going to revs is a little risky as a friend may suddenly buy a white chocolate shot. Don't worry I didn't have one, I luckily remembered about being on the DECHOX.

Thursday 10th March 2016

I've been on the DECHOX for 10 whole days! After an eventful night I made it to my 2pm lecture. Not feeling the best I must admit but I still got there. Snacking on cocktail sausages as the 2 hours past.

Friday 11th March 2016

Another afternoon lecture for a good 3 hours. Being hungry at break time I went to the vending machine. It was full on chocolate bars, oh gosh the temptation. I went for the good old pack of fruitella to give me an energy boost for the next hour on the computers.

Saturday 12th March 2016

I had work today, what a surprise. although it was only a 4 hour shift because Saturday isn't a busy day normally. Getting no break as no need for it, stopping me from being tempted to buy any kind of chocolate from the Sainsbury's store next door. Although it's not chocolate I am craving Haribo.

Sunday 13th March 2016

Having a long and tiring day at work was not the one. 11am- 5:30pm with no food... Once I regained the energy in the evening I made myself a yummy curry. Also somehow managing to go the the gym at half 12 at night!

This weeks conclusion...

Strangely I haven't wanted to eat chocolate. If I've craved anything it's probably like chewy sweets, so I gave in Saturday night and I bought some Haribo :) Here goes week 3!

My DECHOX Journey - Week 1

Tuesday 1st March 2016

Today is my first day of DECHOX. I had my final peice of chocolate last night at about half 11 with 30 minutes left. I've been at uni all day so haven't been thinking about it too much. In sport psychology my friend had a cream egg and layed it on the table in front of me. Such a tease. So far so good.

Wednesday 2nd March 2016

Day 2 of DECHOX! Today went rather well. I had a house viewing for a potential house for next year, loved it. Went into the flat upstairs and they still had the chocolate chip cookies on the side which I gave the day before the DECHOX. Extremely teasing. Although, I haven't actually been craving chocolate. BONUS.I'm sure I will at Easter though when I'm back in Norfolk and all the family are eating Easter eggs!

Thursday 3rd March 2016

I had uni most of the afternoon. Not craving chocolate at all! Yay! I've had more donations/sponsors which I'm very happy about! Target being £100 and up to £90 already! Keep them coming! 

Friday 4th March 2016

Today was dangerous! I was in my lecture and a fellow colleague sitting in the row in front of me turned around. He offered me magic stars, he had a whole bag full! I almost took a couple when I them remembered I was on the DECHOX, very very close call. apart from that mishap it's still going well! 

Saturday 5th March 2016

I had work most of the day and don't get a break so there was no time to eat which lessened the chance of accidentally eating chocolate. 

Sunday 6th March 2016

Again, I had work all day, being on my feet for the time that I was was a killer. Have you ever felt that worn out that you don't even feel hungry or bothered to even eat? That was me yesterday. Though after a good rest I perked up and had some chocolate free dinner... Not that I have chocolate for dinner anyway... but you get point!

In conclusion... (sounds like i'm writing an essay)

For this whole week I haven't craved chocolate, Yes, of course I've thought about the delicious substance a few times but nothing is stopping me from completing this journey. The flat that live above me some of them are supporting me in this journey by also not eating chocolate. They aren't officially DECHOXing but it does spread awareness. Also as they won't be eating chocolate around me it won't tempt me!

This weeks post will only be 6 days as I started on Tuesday last week. The other posts will have seven as it will include a Monday!

Are any off you doing the DECHOX? If so how are you getting on, let me know in the comment section! 

Good luck to all fellow DECHOXERS and keep the donations coming in!
