Weight Loss

I don't think that I've mentioned weight loss here, except in passing. But it is a huge part of my life at the moment. The baby is a year old. When I got pregnant with her I had just joined Slimming World to try lose weight, I was at my heaviest. 15st 6lbs I think. … Continue reading Weight Loss

Little people are amazing!

It's amazing watching a little person learn about the world. We forget they have to learn everything from scratch. I'm sitting here watching my one year old daughter potter around the sitting room here, exploring everything. And she has just seen the laptop over, grabbed a handful of the side of the laptop and squished … Continue reading Little people are amazing!

The Gloss is Gone

In Ireland, there's this annual weight loss programme, that is on tv at the moment. And one of the leaders is this wonderful young woman who has had a terrible time trying to become a mother. She has had an ectopic, a late miscarriage and a baby who was born but didn't survive. And she … Continue reading The Gloss is Gone

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I'm not a big person for Valentine's Day, however I love flowers any day so I'll happily take another opportunity to get some flowers. My hubbie picked up some flowers for me the other day, a little bunch of pretty pink roses and a bunch of purple lilies. I told him to get them before … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!

Does anyone do any of the survey sites to earn vouchers or money? I think depending on your country you can possibly make a nice amount from them. Here not so much I don't think. Still there are rewards available. I love getting vouchers, and I love filling in surveys and earning vouchers. But some … Continue reading Survey Sites?

The difference exercise makes!

I was having a particularly sluggish day yesterday. I couldn't find the energy, or the motivation, to do anything. And I didn't even want to. But in early evening, after having done very little steps compared to most days, my husband said that I had better go out on to the treadmill and get some … Continue reading The difference exercise makes!

Taking a break this morning

This last week has been crazy. I've had so much on, I've been super productive with my planning and organising and also fitting in my walks for my leg! Yesterday just topped it off with back-to-back appointments and parties and afterschool activities, I needed a clone of me as I was expected in two places … Continue reading Taking a break this morning

Slowly starting to exercise

I got my varicose veins in one of my legs removed almost 4 weeks ago - and part of the recovery is that I need to take 3x 20min walks a day. This is a huge increase on my previous activity. I was probably getting one walk in most days, but definitely not every day. … Continue reading Slowly starting to exercise

Constance Hall

I spotted these two books on my friends shelf written by Constance Hall. I had seen one or two of her Facebook posts shared and really liked what she had to say. So I asked could I borrow them. She said yes but made sure I would give them back because she had bought them … Continue reading Constance Hall
