trying to get organized

HI
As it says I'm trying to organize my self so I know where I am

I like butterflys they make me smile

1. I plan to keep a diary on my day 
2. I going to eat breakfast every day 
3. I am only going to weigh myself on a Tuesday at the chemist (not every day )
4. I am going to start riding my bicycle instead of getting the bus  and walking where possible 
5. I going to exercise for 30 minute 2 days a week. I am also planing to do a exercise DVD once a week 
6. I am going to plan my meals for the week including my packed lunches.
7. going to drink more water. I also going to drink more fruit tea instead of normal tea.
8. going to count the calories in my food 
9. not to go out when i'm hungry.

This is going to be fun as I'm the most unorganized person there is. But I do seem to muddle throw.
I am hoping this will get my weight loss going again. I have also Joined myfitnessplan which is helping me count the calories and stay focused I'm finding there is a lot of  support there  which is a great bonus.
I have recently notice I am easily sabatarged with my diet. Specially in the evening and when I an tired or when I am out and hungry.
My next challenge is I love cooking and  baking. I have been making my own bread, cheese straws, cakes and I cook from scratch as I like to no what I'm eating my next step is to make then low calorie should be fun.

Take care M xx

Proud Mummy

Hi people

I'm a very proud mummy today as my youngest used a beaker. He is 2 and a half and  I've left it late but his never shown any interest in using one.  But today as always I made breakfast put it on the table with his beaker of juice. He picked it up and drank his juice I was so happy Then when I gave him his lunch I got "Thank you mummy mmmmmm yummy" He ate it all. Then the same at dinner talk about putting his big brothers to shame even they were amazed.  So I most be doing something right.

My weight loss is going good I have started to feel a bit better so hoping I've lost. I'm sort of dreading standing on the scales tomorrow as I didn't weigh-in last week. But I know I had put on so we will see.

My mum is going home tomorrow and I'm worried about her as she is going to be on her own and it's really hard to get to her I really need to get closer to her. the question is how.
I'm planning on doing a London blog soon as I have loads of pictures  from over the last few weeks were I having to go up there loads so we will see

Any way got to go
Bye and Take care

getting back on track

I've found it so hard to blog lately as everyone's been ill.But I'm getting back on track.

First my 2yr old had a bad cold and wanted cuddling all the time. Then it went on his chest (his asthmatic ) which made him extra grumpy and clingy
Then we had a couple of day where he was better and everything was going sort of smoothly.
But it was my daughter anniversary on the 7th of February  so I was a bit down.
Then to top that my mum rang me on the 7th to let me no her little dog had died that morning in her arms and she was devastated I didn't no what to do so I went to my meeting.
Then got the train to see her left london at 3.30 didn't get there till 6.15.
I only got to stay with mum for 2hrs as I had to get home as she live by the coast and I'm just out side London  but she was glad of the hugs she had it time like these I hate living so far away

Gypsy was a 10year old Yorkshire terrier that was part of the family  she was a cheeky and lively dog

She was my mum companion and the only one she spoke to all the time. When my dad died 4 years ago I think most of all  it was gypsy that kept her going.

she will be dearly missed.

Do you know I remember thinking after mum told me was oh she never going to wear her coat I made her how silly is that. 

So on Friday mum came down for The weekend for Sunday dinner but I think she has enjoyed her self and being round the kids.

J my OH has been ill since Friday with a tonsilitus we think and high temper so has been in bed.  I seem to be spending all my time running up and down stairs so that should keep me fit. 

On the weight loss I've not weighed my self as my scale have broke but i have been trying to eat properly and have been making foods from scratch I've made so far pizzas and HM Yorkshire puddings which were yummy I also have been making biscuits and cake I like knowing what is in my food specialy the foods i give my children 

anyway I'm signing off for tonight 

Take care

She was my mum companion at went everywhere with her 

I did it

Hi everyone

 I am so proud of myself. I jogged only for 5 mins, But I did it and I only got a little out of breath.  I'm so chuffed with my self I've never been able to run not even as a little girl. So I have decide that I'm going to try it again tomorrow. My oh also said this morning that I have sped up while walking  How cool is that.:) Smiles all round for me.  So that two thing to keep me motivated I've sped up and I've lost inches  how cool is that. I'm a happy mumma today.  

I am really surprised how much energy I have I managed to get lots more done and I felt good after to of accomplished it. Over the year so many of my chore would only get half done because i didn't have the energy now i have no excuse. all i have to do now is make sure I drink more at the moment I'm only drinking a 1.5 ltrs a day I been told I need to drink at least 3 ltrs I think i need to keep eating the fruit but am loving at the moment scrambled eggs and toast 

so I will keep trying. I'm also going to start keeping a photo food diary as well. I hope that will keep me on track. 

I have decided to start doing more homemade cooking.  I already do a lot of home cooking and I enjoy preparing food and knowing what in side and what I'm eating. I also prefer to take a pack lunch instead of eating out.   Yesterday I made bread for the first time yay.  I made it with wholewheat strong flour I did add oil as the recipe said and it made it stodgy but still nice. The boys have munched most of it for there tea lol. 

I like making homemade soup to. I seem to have my Yorkie puds down to a tea and been told I make good dumpling and beef casserole. I am planning to make some biscuits and some mini cakes for the kids over the next week hoping to get J to help me that should be fun. 

I have also been doing more crocheting this week I've made some hats thesse little shoes and another cup holder

hope everyone's had a great Monday  

KEEP SMILING and night

take care M

But I' had 3 chicken legs and salad and noodles and beetroot also pickle onions and 2tbsp of  ex light mayonnaise for dinner.  
Doe's anyone have a all time favorite food  I do mine is cucumber and beetroot I could eat it all day.
I've also done 40 minutes on the Wii  fit jogging and the obstical course and the steps. I've also been chasing J around. but we have not left the house.

I'm so proud of myself

Hi everyone 

Ok this is yesterdays blog which i forgot to post please enjoy.

I have had a slacks couple of days where I just didn't care what I was eating then today I stood on the scale yesterday and I've gained a pound. So I'm back on it now been really good so far and have planned all my meals for the next coupe of day.  

I think that with me I have to think all the time about what I'm doing then I'm a were of whats going into my mouth.  Doe's that make sense it does to me.

So today I had toast with dry fried scrambled eggs and baked beans for breakfast.
Then i had  tuna and sweetcorn salad for lunch.

Then I had slow cooked  mince and rice for dinner it was I little bit bland so will add more flavor next time
I had jam roly poly for pudding with a little custard.

I have been busy trying to make baby shoes and hats so far there way to small so i will keep trying the ones i have done i think i might donate them to my local hospital. When I lost my little girl the midwife put this really sweet cute little pink cardigan on her and wrapped her in a crochet blanket with little flowers on it was sweet. I did ask where they were from and she said someone had donated them. I still wish i could say thank you as they were beautiful.  So I have decided that I would make some blankets and hat for them to use. we will have to see what happens 

I'm so proud of my self today.  I just did a walk that normally would take me 35/40 min in 20 minutes how cool is that in so proud of me. It has lifted my self a steam so much I want to do it again which for me is brilliant. 

Then I did it again i left home at 5 pick J up from nursery at 5.10 then was at TJ's school at 5.25. so it been a good day I haven't done all my steps but I've done my best and am pleased with what i have done.

Take care and please post a comment
thank
Michelle
