Welcome to Runawaywombat

Hi and Welcome. I hope you enjoy my blog and hope we can share my love of cooking and making craft items which I have made for many years. Juggling motherhood and work has been fun and a learning experience. Runawaywombat is an Etsy site where I create classic items which are vibrant, practical and fun. Many items from Aprons, Tea Towels, make up and storage bags. You can see my items by going to www.etsy.com/shop/runawaywombat. On the food front I made Lemon slice and honestly I can't make enough of it as it run off the plate with my family.

Yoga session. Now I'm relaxed.

Hi everyone,
It has been awhile but I'm so busy with crafting I have not had much time to blog. On the weight loss challenge. I must say. The last 5kgs or in my case 8kgs is hard to shift.

The head hasn't been there and last week I only went to the gym once. And that was because I had an appointment with the trainer. I know, I know. I'm angry at myself as well. But, it was because I went to the gym that I felt so bad, letting the trainer down, that I was able ( NO, made myself) go the next two days. Now there is now gym today but I'm going to make sure I go this week at least 3 times. Yes, 3 times.

As I told the trainer, I'm not here because I love the gym. It's OK. I have my days, where I love it, days I could quite easierly live without it and not even miss it.

But the reality is that I feel better, stronger and happier. So I go, not everyday but I do make some effort.

Now that I caught you up to speed. Here is the low down with the yoga. Yes, I inquired about the yoga session, and thought about it long and hard. And yes the first time was not great but I went to the body balance class and not the relaxing yoga class. So, off I went again, to give it another go. I made sure it was the relaxing yoga class and was alittle worried. But I thought this one is for me. The exercises were more gentle and it was very much about breathing, slow stretches and blocking out the world and focus on oneself. Now being a mum I haven't focused about myself, since I can't remember. It's always been about family and my need, what are they?

So this class was great and I didn't believe what a lot of people were saying, but I was actually more relaxed at the end of the class with what seemed like more energy. I don't know where it came from but it was there.

So I will try this yoga again and hope I get the same result.More crafty items to show you. Will post them soon.
