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.

Hi everyone,

Silence is golden

Hi everyone,

This is just a general chit chat. Up early because as you get older, sleep seems the first thing to go. It is amazing how after years of being a wife and mother, having a few minutes to yourself with no noise, no darling where is my..... or mum can you..... is such a joy.

Having said that a smile does come on my face when I see my kids and husband and the noise around does mean a happy family life.

So, I think a balance to life seems to be the key to happy and healthy living. This however has always been a struggle for me and I still find is hard to speak my mind and say no. I have always been the people pleaser and lets just get along type of gal but as I'm getting older some me time is becoming more important and I am taking time for myself.

I am becoming the more strong independent woman I should have been 15 years ago but life is a learning process and with my kids and husband I have learnt a lot about myself, how special I am, and how important I am to the family unit. You always here it, "you have to look after your self before you can look after everybody else". Great in theory, but hard to put in to practice.

But it's me time and I thought I would share my thoughts with all of you. Off to the gym today to continue the healthy part of me time. And will try to start putting some time a side for me, starting today.

Hi everyone.

I have made some more of the brush rolls and I'm really enjoy the process in making these. Here are some more pics for you and I hope you enjoy the new colours. Will keep you posted.
