I mentioned on my last weigh in that my head hadn’t been fully in the game hence my 0.5lb gain over Easter, but that I was going to try and get back in it. I was okay for a day up until our latest cake club meeting on the Wednesday, and then I just went slowly downhill from there to be honest. Especially at the end of the weekend when I started having a bit of emotional breakdown. When I’m at that stage I go one of two ways – I either eat lots of rubbish, or nothing at all, …

Did you have any idea that there was such a thing as International Carrot Day? No, me neither!

Family time – Movie & duvet days
As with any family, ‘family time’ is really important to us as hubby works long hours, six days a week. Most days, by the time he gets home from work it’s just about tea time and then he only has an hour or so with the boys before bed.

So the days we do actually get him all to ourselves we want to have fun! As much as we love to go …

When I was pregnant with J I never read any ‘parenting’ books – there were just so many on the market and it was a bit overwhelming. I’d had lots of advice from friends, and I knew I had lots to go to for advice once he had arrived. I’d heard of lots of parenting ‘experts’ and their books though and there were many differing opinions on all of them – I decided that we’d just go with the flow and we’d get it, somehow! When we came home from the hospital though I joked that I wish they’d sent us …
Slimming World weigh in #12 – the one with an Easter gain…
After last week’s shock loss of 4.5lb I wasn’t really holding out much hope of another great loss this week as I knew there would be a few things possibly stopping me. On Thursday it was my cousin’s eldest’s boys birthday so we had a pub tea (steak & chips, and loads of onion rings) and then birthday cake (though I shared mine with N). Friday was okay, then Saturday we were at my Mum’s and we had pulled pork – I was a greedy pig and scoffed three white rolls with it so just that would have taken me …
