As you may have seen in my last weigh in update, I finally got my half stone award after four weigh ins. I was absolutely ecstatic as I think over the many years and attempts of trying to lose weight, that is the best I have ever done. I am really loving Slimming World (though I have had my doubts about it before, but that’s a whole other post) and hoping I can continue with it up until I get to my target weight, and afterwards of course as really it is just about making healthier choices. So, to my …

Little man N at 11 months old
So this is the last of N’s updates before he turns one year old. That’s right, at the next update I will have written a whole year of updates for my youngest baby. Who will no longer be a baby. (Sad face. Though don’t take that as a hint at any more babies – no thanks!). As I mentioned in his ten month update he was due to be weighed at his ‘routine health check’ which I wrote about here along with a rant about the health visitor. He weighed 24lb 8oz meaning he had only gained 7oz since his last weigh in, …
Recipe – Reese’s peanut butter cupcakes
Last year (and maybe the year before actually) a friend & I decided that we were going to start a cake club – even if it was only the two of us, ha! Our first meeting was last week and the theme was an easy one – cupcakes. I always have to go that extra mile and as I still had some of my Reese’s hamper left from Christmas (I know, I’m not sure how either) I decided to take these. I have no words to describe them – they might just be the finest cupcake I have ever tasted …
Slimming World weigh in – I got a shiny!
In the week prior to this week’s weigh in, I went a little off track on Sunday. We were at my brother-in-law’s for tea and although we had a fairly healthy curry (the majority of which was free food for me) he had cheesecake for dessert and I couldn’t not have any when everyone else did! I did only have a little bit though. I then shared a yogurt ice lolly with N but that wasn’t many syns anyway. I’ve been doing more walking this week and I’m really enjoying it; I’m already starting to feel a bit fitter again, …
Snow day
At the beginning of the week we were lucky (though some might say not so) to have had snow in our part of the country, which after disappearing on the first day, settled on the second! It was both boy’s first ‘proper’ snowfall, though I wish N was walking already so he could have experienced it that way too. We were venturing out on Tuesday to Fit Tots (every week there is soft play, a sensory activity, and healthy snack time). The sensory activity this week was playing with ice & snow to tie in with the weather. J spent …
