Blowing the cobwebs out

In an attempt to tire the toddler out today we went to Baytree and played outdoors for over an hour. It was fresh but I absolutely love the feeling of being outside when it’s crisp and with a cuppa, even better. I didn’t move much so more of a mind cleanse than exercise but this […]

Yawn

I can’t get my toddler back on England time so we are up most of the night watching blaze and the monster machines 🙈. Very much feel like a zombie but it’s been good for the diet as I’ve not really felt hungry so not snacked between meals at all. As Joey once said, “my […]

Jet lag waffle (not the eating kind 🙈)

Well our first night back has been interesting to say the least. Both boys awake between 11pm and 2am, baby just screaming and toddler wanting to play 🙈. I’ve prewritten this at about 4am (sorry for the waffling) and my toddler is still awake so I have no idea what the day brings, my baby […]

Disney

So apparently dreams really do come true at Disneyland. My toddler had the best day ever apparently! The LA parks are perfect for him as there are loads of rides he can go on and we squeezed both parks into one day. He is a massive cars fan so cars land was incredible. My Fitbit […]

LA

We made it to our last destination on our perfect holiday LA. It is crazy busy with traffic. Makes London sound quiet 😂. Hello kitchen whoop! We have stocked up a few meat and veg meals from Trader Joe’s so I am feeling in control again. I have definitely put weight on at the moment. […]

Calm before the storm

I didn’t make it to weigh in yesterday. I was full of good intentions but it didn’t happen so my next weigh in will be 11th November. This is scary to me as I need a regular weigh in to keep me in check but I am focusing on the feeling of stepping on the […]

Pushing through the boredom

I don’t know if everyone is the same but a few months into a diet and I get so bored. I’m fairly well trained these days so know the dangers of quiting and how quickly my body absorbs the bad food I eat. No danger of completely falling off the wagon but I just get […]

Time to dust off the fitbit

Annette has worked her magic and I’m slowly starting to feel less like an ironing board. Time to get the fitbit charged and get back to walking my 10,000 a day. I think it’s going to seem really hard again but I’m loving the feature where you can put a photo behind the stats 😍. […]

The best time

I got lots of activity points last night at “fireball” in Leeds. We were all 15 years old again watching our favourite bands live. Mad Caddies and Reel Big Fish were incredible and didn’t disappoint as always. Dancing is actually a really good calorie burner if you really go for it. Google informs me upwards […]

Diary

I’m going to give the calm app a whirl. I’ve been feeling really good since having Wilf but don’t want the world’s stresses to bring me down at anypoint. A few moments a day of breathing and mindful serenity do wonders and better to get in the habit rather than waiting until you feel really […]
