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.

Once a upon a time - weight loss - just reading my own blog

I was just reading my own blog and happy with how I was going but of course the success story is not me and of course, I have struggled this week, weight, mind and balance. So, I need to get my act together and get back into it.

The weight comes off quite easy when the head is in the right place. It's having the head in the right place all the time which is the killer for me. Having said that I'm getting back on that wagon and off I go again and keep going.

I'm around the 68kgs now and seeing 67kgs from time to time. Lets make a new goal. 66kgs Wow, that's scary. Haven't seen that number for a while. So off I go again, tra la la la la la la. I can't sing, so please don't judge.

Once a upon a time - weight loss -life in general

Hi everyone,
Just thought I would up date you all on my life in general. Being a mum is a FULL time job. But I guess for all you mothers out there, this is not news to you. Juggles, is my middle name. Just going from one thing that needs to be done to another and so on.

With the end of the year looming for all kids, this time is hectic for all families. So good luck and try not to stress. I should often listen to what I write. lol.

The weight loss journey is going great guns this last week and I have lost about another kilo. Having said that, I'm trying my hardest to be good and every chance I get I try to do some exersice, anything that will keep me moving. Just wondering how long it will last. Having said that, the weather is getting nicer and that is keeping me alittle more motivated.

I do have a few more creative items to show you but that will be in the next few days, after everything else I have to do. Keep you posted.

Once a upon a time - weight loss - where am I now

You are probably wondering how the weight loss it going. Well, I have come to the conclusion that yes I can lose weight, and when I do a lot of good things, in the way of eating smaller meals, get my exercise in and don't snack on the bad foods. Yeah, I can lose weight, and it comes off quickly. The problem for me and I guess for a lot of us, is getting the momentum of days to weeks of good healthy eating.

The great thing is I have not gone back to my old ways. I am mindful of healthy meals but sweets are my down side and where I struggle. I have had ups and downs and can say I am an emotional eater. I eat when I'm sad, happy, angry and hungry. So you can see my problem.

But doing better every day always keeps me trying and that is half the battle. So, I'm still trying and probably always have too. But I don't mind now and as soon as I fall of that wagon I get right back on and try again. The great thing about weight loss is you can just keep trying to better oneself.
