Now I do like the show a lot but I have to admit that sometimes the acting is a little cheesy as well as the special effects. I can only imagine myself in their place pretending to do some kind of magical enchantment with hand gestures and know I would feel incredibly silly! :p
If you haven't seen the show, well it's basically about all your fairytale characters like Belle, Snow White, The Evil Queen, Peter Pan etc... It's a cute show none the less.
Changing subjects now!
I've tried making a blog a couple times but never really managed to keep to it so this time I'm really going to try, just like this challenge I found on Pinterest which I will share with you.
Now I know I'm underweight and don't have any to lose as people will always tell me but after having 2 kids and being a person who really enjoys to
I have to admit, today is day 1 and I looked at that and thought "pffft! 20 squats! thats nothing! 5 lunges... I'll do 5 per leg and burpees?! I don't know what that is but I'll youtube it.. I'm sure it's easy peasy *watches youtube video* 10 of those? what a joke!"
So I did my squats, all 20! not so bad, felt that burning in my thighs.. did my lunges, 5 per leg as I said but I also managed to slip and slide all over my floor with my big wooly socks. Then I got to the burpees. All I can say is that I'm freakishly out of shape! Jumping and squatting and push ups! I can make it down an inch if im lucky and then up I go! haha. All in due time of course!
Now after that
So I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
