This summer has been a strange one. I graduated in July and since then have spent my time putting off applying for graduate jobs... That's a lie - I did spent quite a bit of time applying for jobs but it has taken me a long time to get anywhere so I perhaps wasn't as efficient as I should have been. I did go to a few music festivals and spent time with my family but, due to a distinct lack of funds, this summer has felt like a bit of a non-event.<br />
<br />
The good news is I now have a real job in the real world! It's a bit strange being out of the student bubble but I feel like my life is actually going somewhere now (dramatic much). Okay so I haven't hit my first pay-day yet but I'm feeling more like a real human being who works and gets paid and whatnot.<br />
<br />
Hence why I thought I'd fire up the old blog again. I know there are bloggers out there who write whilst living on a limited budget and I'm not saying you can't but I'm a very materialistic person and I didn't quite feel like myself when I didn't have any pennies to spend on the things I love. And not feeling like myself meant my creative juices weren't particularly.. flowing...!<br />
<br />
So I'll stop rambling now and get to what this post was meant to be about - Halloween! I love Halloween. In my High-School and College years I was always the one who threw the Halloween parties but at university it became more about club nights. But now we're a little more grown up Alex and I decided to throw our first Halloween house-party in our own home.<br />
<br />
I think I enjoyed putting up the decorations, carving pumpkins and making cupcakes almost as much as the party itself!<br />

I made my family these cute cupcakes when they all came over to celebrate my graduation last week.The cupcakes are my very naughty Chocolate and Peanut Butter cupcakes which I posted the recipe for <a href="http://thelifeofemily-alice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/chocolate-cupcakes-with-peanut-butter.html">here</a> and the little mortar boards I made by adapting a couple of recipes I'd found online when I searched for graduation cupcakes.<br />
<br />
Basically they're a mini Reeses peanut butter cup with a square of Lindt milk chocolate on top (glued with a little blob of chocolate icing). Then on top of the square is two little strawberry laces and a mini smartie, also glued with chocolate icing.The combination of all that chocolate and peanut butter made for quite a meal and some people made the sensible choice of eating them in two sittings haha!<br />
<br />
What do you think? I think they look great in my new cake stand which I just can't bear to put away so is permanently sat on our kitchen table! I'm thinking of putting something decorative inside in between baking sessions - maybe some plastic flowers or something? The cake stand was a graduation present from my Mum and Dad and is by <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_334001911599CKST_-1">Jasper Conran at Debenhams</a> - it's so sturdy, I can definitely recommend it!<br />

Woohoo I finally graduated! I can't believe I actually made it. About 20 months ago now I dropped out of university and couldn't imagine myself ever getting my degree so to be walking across that stage in my robes was such a proud moment for me and for my family - I couldn't have done it without them!<br />
<br />
So now I'm no longer studying, I suddenly have nothing to do... Obviously I'm spending a lot of time looking for and applying for jobs (honestly...!) but I also have the time to spend on my hobbies again and this blog is one of them. So I have a few ideas for posts lined up. I was planning to do a Glastonbury post but my camera broke while we were there and I didn't want to drain my phone battery so I barely took any - gutted! I'll definitely be going back next year though - it was amazing!<br />
<br />
Ooh something else exciting too - since I finished university I've started wedding planning! We're thinking about January 2015 (yes January - we're crackers!) which gives us just under 18 months to plan - needless to say I'm spending a lot of time on pinterest!<br />
<br />
So I'm sure there'll be a few wedding inspiration posts very soon :)<br />

We visited Bakewell, possibly our favourite place to visit in the Peaks and stopped for an obligatory slice of Bakewell Tart in the courtyard garden of our <a href="http://www.bakewelltartshop.co.uk/">favourite little cafe</a> (which incidentally does mail order - genius!). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were both feeling rather worse for wear after going out with our friends the night before so, whilst we often go hill-walking at weekends, this time we just took a leisurely wander around the shops. In another little courtyard I found the most amazing shop called <a href="http://www.tsaremporium.com/">The Tsar Emporium</a> which was full to the brim with vintage and vintage inspired trinkets, furniture, chandeliers, mirrors - you name it, they probably have it! Whilst I was squeaking with excitement and declaring that when we have our own house it will look like this shop, Alex was joking about calling the wedding off... sadly his tastes in decor are simple and modern - probably the opposite of mine!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was so much I could've bought in that shop but I restricted myself to choosing just one item and I chose this little keepsake box. I love how it looks like something straight out of a fairy tale! I haven't decided what to use it for yet but for now it's taking pride of place on my dresser.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I now have less than 5 weeks til my final university deadlines - that's why the blog has been so quiet! I'm definitely looking forward to blogging more often though and might even be posting a few wedding-related posts as wedding planning is officially beginning when I hand in those essays! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did you get out and enjoy the sun this weekend?</span><br />

I've even taken photos for blog posts but just not had chance to write them up! But I've given myself the day off from studies today and took the opportunity to do some therapeutic baking.<br />
<br />
I've been perfecting this recipe for a little while now, the frosting has always been a perfect peanutty soft whippyness but the sponge has sometimes been a little bit dry. This time I used a recipe from the Hummingbird Bakery which has quite a bit of milk in it and it's much more moist. Perfection!<br />

<b> <u>Recipe</u></b></div>
<u><br /></u>
<u><b>Ingredients </b></u><br />
<u><br /></u>
<b>For the Cupcakes (recipe taken from the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook)</b><br />
<u><br /></u>
100g plain flour<br />
20g cocoa powder<br />
140g caster sugar<br />
1 1/2tsp baking powder<br />
a pinch of salt<br />
40g unsalted butter, at room temperature<br />
120ml whole milk<br />
1 egg<br />
1/4tsp vanilla extract<br />
<u><br /></u>
<b>For the Frosting</b><br />
<u><br /></u>
125g butter, at room temperature<br />
125g peanut butter (I used a combination of smooth and crunchy)<br />
250g icing sugar, sifted<br />
drop of vanilla extract<br />
whole milk<br />
<u><br /></u>
<b>Method</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Preheat the oven to 170c or Gasmark 3<br />
<br />
Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter in your mixer and beat on slow speed until everything is combined.<br />
<br />
Whisk the milk, egg and vanilla extract together in a jug and add half to the flour mixture, mixing until smooth. Add the other half and mix again but don't over mix.<br />
<br />
Spoon the mixture into paper cases and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the sponge bounces back.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile to make the frosting, cream the butter and peanut butter together with the vanilla extract. Add the sifted icing sugar (to avoids lumps) and mix until smooth, adding milk to reach the desired consistency (you don't want it too runny if you're going to pipe it).<br />
<br />
When they are cooled, spread or pipe the frosting onto the cakes. <br />
<br />

I'm enjoying photographing everything I eat on a Wednesday - it definitely encourages me to eat better! Yesterday I had a really really good day until 11pm when I destroyed a whole tub of Cookie Dough ice-cream and doubled my calorie intake! Damn you Ben & Jerrys for being so yummy.</div>

I thought I'd start doing What I ate Wednesday posts as I find them really interesting, especially when people are trying to eat healthily. As you can see, I like to keep each of my 3 meals around the 350 mark which gives me space for a couple of snacks. I'm trying to stay below 1300 calories at the moment in order to lose around a lb a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've given up chocolate for lent which is quite a big deal for me as, even when I'm eating healthily, I do like to include a little chocolate treat into most of my days. I'm not sure if giving it up will really help my diet that much as I'll probably just reach for non-chocolate snacks instead!</div>

I still calorie counted for the most part but had quite a few days of binging with the worst day totalling 4000 calories - more than twice the amount I need to exist!<br />
<br />
So<br />
Week 1: 0.25lbs gain<br />
Week 2: 2lbs gain<br />
<br />
This is starting to look like a weight-gain mission rather than weight-loss oops! Hopefully I've got the binging out of my system and am ready to get back to it :)<br />

I can't stop wearing leggings at the moment. I used to be a skirt and dresses girl, I barely ever wore trousers. Whilst I'm still not a big jeans fan, leggings are definitely taking over my wardrobe. And not boring black ones, the more unusual the pattern the better.<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33055&storeId=12554&productId=8119783&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=barbie%20leggings&pageSize=40">Miss Selfridge Barbie Printed Leggings</a> - £28. I walked past these in the Miss Selfridge store yesterday and had a head-turning moment. I can't decide how I feel about these - it's like a combination of awe and dismay! If they were half the price I'd definitely buy them, even if just to wear around the house!<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/leggings/products/clouds-old-leggings">Black Milk Cloud Print Leggings</a> - $75 AUD. These are so beautiful - I think they'd look amazing with an oversized white t-shirt and shades in the Summer.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/leggings/products/hills-of-gondor-leggings">Black Milk Hills of Gondor Leggings</a> - $85 AUD. I'm definitely going to be showing these to Alex, maybe he'll love them so much and buy them for me?<br />
<br />
Have you bought any Black Milk leggings yet? I'm not sure if I can justify the price but I've heard the quality is amazing.<br />

<br />
<b>1. I'm allergic to wasps and have a massive fear of them. I once tipped a glass of wine down myself when a wasp landed on me! I've been stung twice and both times my leg has swollen so bad I couldn't walk for days - it's agonising and is the one thing I hate about summer :(</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. I've been with my fiance for 5 1/2 years, we got engaged and moved in together when I was 19 and he was 20. I know a lot of people thought we were too young but he's my best friend and I can't imagine living with anyone else.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. I study English Language and Linguistics and am in my final year but wish I'd studied something else.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. I can touch my nose with my tongue.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. I have braces and they won't be coming off til Autumn 2014 when I'll be 23, nearly 24!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>6. My favourite colour is pink.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. I love the ballet even though I gave it up when I was 5 and can't dance for toffee.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. I'm totally addicted to diet coke and drink several litres per day. I drink it through a straw now I have braces, I was meant to be giving it up but I can't!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. I don't like tea or coffee or any hot drinks. Diet Coke and Squash is all I drink.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. Even though I don't drink coffee I love anything coffee flavoured especially coffee cake.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>11. Cats are my favourite animal and I can't wait to get a Ragdoll kitten or two when we buy our own house.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>12. I'm pretty squeamish and often faint with blood-tests and injections.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>13. I've had 3 operations under anaesthetic, a tonsillectomy and two dental operations.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>14. I only have one sibling, my brother who is 6 years older than me. Growing up we hated eachother but since I became old enough to buy him a drink we've gotten much closer!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>15. I have no idea what I want to be when I "grow up". I have lots of ideas - my favourite at the moment being an events coordinator, or more specifically a wedding planner!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>16. I love festivals but hate paying the ticket price so volunteer with Oxfam instead. Really hoping I get onto Glastonbury this year!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>17. I've never liked my freckles, when I was younger I used to put lemon juice on them because I heard it would fade them!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>18. I'm quite musical on the quiet, I have grade 5 piano, grade 4 drum-kit (yes!) and grade 1 singing. I still love singing and keep meaning to join a local choir.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>19. I wear makeup everyday and never go out the house without it on unless I'm going for a run in the dark!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>20. I don't go on holiday anywhere near as much as I'd like. In 5 1/2 years I've been abroad with my fiancé once and twice without him. We're hoping to go somewhere hot this summer</b>.<br />

I think I'm going to do a weekly weigh-in every Friday, a "What I ate Wednesday" because I enjoy reading those and a Sunday Summary.<br />
<br />
This week's been pretty boring, I finished my essays and relaxed a bit then proceeded to begin operation clean house! I accomplished the ground floor, two floors to go! That makes it sound like a huge house.. it's not really, I'm just a lazy cleaner.<br />
As pretty as the snow was I was so glad to see it had melted this morning. I'd really missed running and driving so I made sure to do both today!<br />
<br />
I have one more week to relax then the new semester begins which I'm already having anxiety dreams about. Last night I dreamt I was going back to college instead and I was 5 years older than all the 16 years olds there and felt *so* old. Weird!<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with some pictures of me frolicking in the snow yesterday, we had some fun with the proper camera today rather than just the usual iphones.<br />

You'll have to excuse the photos in the mirror, I do have a tripod and remote and the perfect place to take outfit photos but that room has become a major dumping ground and needs a little sort-out :) Why is that no matter how many rooms you have in a house there's always one room that is a constant dumping ground? Does anyone else do that?<br />

I thought I'd start doing a weekly weigh in. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I think it'll help me be accountable! I have about 19lbs to lose before Summer hopefully and I'm of course upping the exercise in order to tone up :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week I had an awesome week and lost 4.5lbs but this week I took a step back and focused on my essays which meant lots of study snacks. Then a meal out to celebrate them being in, of course. So this week I've gained 0.25lbs which is nothing really and I know I will do better next week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought I'd post a few photos of the meals/snacks I've been enjoying as part of a healthier diet.</div>

My only excuse is I needed some retail therapy after the stress of deadlines recently! I actually ordered a lot more than this from New Look but, as always, a few things had to go back including a skirt that looked like a bin liner and a faux fur waistcoat that Alex said made me look like a Gorilla! I don't always listen to his opinions on fashion as often he doesn't have a clue but this time he was definitely right!<br />
<br />
I actually bought 3 crop tops from New Look (one isn't featured as it's boring and black). I must've had my holiday head on when I put the order in as it definitely isn't crop top weather at the moment!<br />

This is actually from the Teens section but I bought it in 12-13years and it's plenty big. I'm starting to shop in the teens section more these days, it's cheaper and fits fine so why not? Maybe my style should be a bit more mature but I don't care haha.</div>

I went off New Look for a little while but recently, whenever I go in or look online I find loads of things I like. I don't know if it's them or me that has changed but I'm not complaining.</div>

What do you think of New Look? </div>

I was a bit concerned that the dresses were one size only but they fit perfectly and I particularly like the pleated one. I think I got some good bargains, I might keep some of the jewellery for gifts, especially the globe and binoculars one and the bunting one as, although they're cute, I can't see me wearing them.<br />
The whole order only came to £18.50 for 2 dresses, 4 necklaces and a bracelet!<br />
<br />
Have you got your hands on any bargains this month?<br />

Today was the day I handed in my final assessments for the first semester of final year. Final year is not easy going, let me tell you. I could not be happier to have 2 weeks of being uni-free ahead of me before the final semester begins. Already dreaming of graduation outfits - roll on July!<br />
<br />
Sadly, organisation is not my strong suit, otherwise I might have managed a bit of multi-tasking and been able to coordinate blogging with studying. Sorry guys. Next semester maybe I'll be a bit more on top of things!<br />
<br />
So I thought I'd start up my blog again with a few photos of what I've been upto these last few weeks that wasn't studying.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My man and I at Edinburgh Street Party on New Years Eve. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well Hello there strangers. You may (or may not) have noticed I've been missing these past few months. Blogging has taken a backseat whilst I concentrate on the hell that is final year. It's essay season so I'm spending all my time resisting writing "I hate my course, I hate my course" 1500 times to make up my 3000 word count. Bleurgh. Bring on June 2013! At this point I will genuinely be pleased with anything above a third, my time spent at university has been the best and worst time of my life and I'm so ready for a change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So in the mean time, expect sporadic posts but believe me when I say that blogging will certainly feature in my post-graduate life!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Resolutions are something I do every year without fail. I know some people don't see the point but I'm a strong believer in fresh starts and making new goals and what better time to do that than a brand spanking New Year. I may not always complete my goals but just writing them down helps me feel I'm one step closer to acheiving them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1. Get to my goal weight and maintain it... forever... </b>Yep you'll see this resolution on pretty much everybodies' list but I know that 2013 is the year I will finally get there. I've already lost 3 1/2 stone and gone from a size 16 to a size 10 but I just need one final push to lose the last 1 1/2 stones and hopefully reach a size 8 with a flat stomach to boot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm not an easy fiancée to put up with and I know I could do more to help that. Also, I'd like to be able to make some firmer plans as to when we'll be tying the knot - the ultimate sign of appreciation :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I seem to have done an unhealthy amount of shopping over the last month or so. I'm calling it final year degree stress which can only be solved with retail therapy! So here's my recent beauty purchases, I might follow this up with a fashion haul if you're interested:</span></div>

I saw these over on <a href="http://www.whatihearttoday.com/2012/11/mini-mousechristmas-nails.html">Lily's blog</a> and at £2.27 including delivery had to try them! I've been wanting to buy some nail art pens for a while but this seems to be the cheaper option.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/box-sets/wonderland-box-set.html">Models Own Wonderland Collection.</a> I'm really getting into glitter topcoats at the moment and I couldn't decide which of the collection I liked most so I bought them all! This is my nails of the moment - Models Own Beth's Blue with the Blizzard Top Coat. I can't wait to try Snowflake which has flecks of gold foil in it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. Superdrug Dry Shampoo - I heard it's better than Batiste and so far so good! I love the smell of the Chocolate brownie one. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. Okay so this isn't a beauty purchase as such but Cheryl Cole is pretty beautiful! I bought this in Tesco for £7 and it's my light relief from linguistic textbooks. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. Estee Lauder Free Gift which came free when you bought 2 or more Estee Lauder products. It included a really generous sample of their Daywear moisturiser which I've grown rather attached to and am horrified to see it's £39 for the full-size, eek! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Estee-Lauder-Double-Wear-Stay-in-Place-Makeup-SPF-10-30ml_4409/">Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation</a>. Having heard a lot of good things about this foundation I had to try it and I have to say I think it's my favourite foundation of all time. I've previously tried the Maximum Coverage version and I love that but this one is more wearable day to day. </span></div>

I was coerced by the sales lady into buying this and I succombed, mostly because it would give me £7.50 of Boots points and the free gift. I'm not overly impressed and think my <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_984434/">Collection 2000 concealer</a> did just as good a job.</span></div>

I've been wearing these liners for years now and have gone through so many. I usually buy Zero but the sale assistant said Perversion was a new product and designed to be even blacker than Zero. It is 'more black' somehow but I also find it more likely to smudge so I think I'll be going back to Zero next time. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my first outfit post in a while as the room I normally take them in is stuffed with Alex's clothes to make room for my best friend who's living temporarily in our spare room!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wore this outfit for a spot of shopping and meal out at Wagamamas with Alex last night. I'm really embracing the maroon/oxblood red trend this season. It's not a colour I've worn very much before but I now own quite a few pieces. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love these boots so much, definitely my favourite recent purchase. They're high enough to give me a little extra height but not too high that I can't wear them in the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also got new hair extensions whoop! I haven't worn any for a while as my hair was constantly changing as it got blonder and blonder and then I had it ombred for a little while. Now I've dyed it back to my natural colour and am certain I'll be keeping it this way for a while I thought I'd invest. My hair is naturally quite long but it doesn't seem to grow past a certain point and I'm always dreaming of waist-length hair so clip-ins are the perfect way for me to acheive this. I can definitely recommend Foxy Locks extensions - this is the second set I've had from them and they are the best I've tried. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you're having a great weekend. </span><br />

We celebrated Halloween at the weekend with a house-party at ours followed by a club night at my universities union. I don't think there's ever been a year where I haven't celebrated Halloween. When I was a teenager, my parents were definitely the most relaxed parents I knew and would always let me have house-parties - it was taken as a given amongst my friends that I'd be hosting Halloween. I used to go all out with the pumpkins and decorations but I didn't do very much this year and regretted it - next year I'm definitely going to make more of an effort.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I posted about the 10 week pledge last week and I hadn't done so well... so guess how I did this week - I gained another 3lbs oops! It was not a good week for me, I've got essays due and study snacks were too tempting - added to which it was the time of the month where copious amounts of chocolate seems very necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, I'm not going to be defeated and I have sworn to myself I will buckle down this week! I can't believe it's only 8 weeks til Christmas aaah!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry I haven't blogged much lately, I have a big list of blog post ideas but I have to focus on my studies at the moment. Fingers crossed I'll have more time after my essay hand-ins.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been following the <a href="http://wherearemyknees.blogspot.co.uk/">Where are my knees</a> guys for ages now and find their weight-loss posts really inspiring. So when I saw they were encouraging readers to join them in a 10 week pledge I thought why not! 10 weeks will take me to Christmas (started it last week) and what better motivation to lose a few more pounds!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've already lost almost 4 stone over the past 2 years and would ideally like to lose another 18lbs. I think that might be ambitious before Christmas so I've decided on 10lbs in 10 weeks instead. I'd also like to get back into my running routine (3/4 times per week) and get my 5k time back down to around 30 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So how did I do in Week 1? Well I gained 1lb doh! We had a really indulgent weekend with family (see my Nutella cheesecake post!) and I actually gained 5lbs (!) so atleast I've lost 4 of those. I'm still confident I can do it though :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will you be joining the pledge? What would you like to achieve by Christmas?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mmmmm anything with the word 'Nutella' in it is bound to be amazing in my eyes but this really is something else! I first saw the recipe on Nigella's new TV program Nigellissima and thought it looked surprisingly simple. I think that anyone could make this, whether they've baked before or not.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made it for a family occasion at the weekend, along with a few other cakes as it was a buffet for quite a few people. I made sure I got one of the first slices and no more than five minutes later it had all gone! I received so many compliments for it, lots more than my much more skill-required coffee or lemon drizzle cakes! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used half full-fat and half low-fat cream cheese just to make it <i>slightly</i> healthier. If divided into 16 servings it's 350 calories but I defy you to have just one slice!</span></div>
