Just where has the time gone? It's mid-October and I haven't had a moment to actually post anything on here lately. The truth is, once again starting in a new job, being able to share out the mental and childcare load more evenly with my husband and health issues have just taken over the last … Continue reading It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and I Needed to Become Aware
It's been a while... times have been busy, what with year 11s sitting their exams, mock exam season and generally life taking over. But I'm still here and still going strong. This weekend has been the first time taking the boy on a camping trip. We'd been planning this for weeks; indeed, the trip should … Continue reading Rocking at Camping with Toddlers
We're coming up to May - is it just me or has the first part of the year gone by really quickly? So many things are different now to what they were a few months ago, so I decided to have a look back at my bucket list and see how much progress I have … Continue reading My 2018 Bucket List – 5 Months In
You know the one I mean: "The nights are so long, but the years are so short." I saw a video like that today, and my goodness, did it have me in a bit of a rant. While I'm sure it's meant well, like so many things, it's just ended up being so bloody patronising! … Continue reading Oh How I Hate That Meme
Christmas has been and gone and with it valuable space in our household. Whilst we by no means have a small house, our storage space, like - I imagine - many other's at this time of year, has been severely reduced. The time has come to begin the first day of the Big New Year's … Continue reading The Big New Year’s Clearout
Weight: 60.1kg* or 60.7kg Total weight lost so far: around 2.4kg *Measurements taken 3 days ago in the old house, so more comparable. Then again we lived off take-aways for an entire weekend, so maybe the second figure. Could also be muscle gain. Who knows. The problem with moving house is that you put your … Continue reading Weigh-in Week 8/52
Weigh-in: 61.4 Total weight lost so far: 1.1kg I'm astonished it got this far. Christmas has been and gone, as have the New Year's celebrations and yet here I am weighing 500g less than just before the feast days started. I did stick to my survival tips, especially the one about drinking less. One Buck's … Continue reading Weigh-in Week 5/52
Have you ever seen the film 'I Don't How She Does It'? It's a soppy movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker in the lead as a successful business woman who seemingly rocks it all - her job, a household, her relationship and her kids. They show how she manages to hold everything together, even in chaotic … Continue reading To do a to-do
Weigh-in: 61.9 Total weight lost so far: 600g All in all, I can say that this has been a successful week. Whilst I haven't compromised on food choices, I have been more conscious of my portion sizes. Do I really need seconds? Is it wise to eat a third piece of chocolate-covered gingerbread? It's not … Continue reading Weigh-in week 2/52
My boy is 3 months old and I am on maternity leave. I'll be honest here; there are times when I don't get out much. It's not a case of too much to do as such, although moving, cleaning, tidying and looking after a little person whilst always being ready for the school run are … Continue reading The Looks of a Wife
