Tinsel take-over & weigh-in week 17

mimbles

I’m down 0.2kg this week for a total of 8.1kg. If I maintain over Christmas I’ll be satisfied but I’m still going to try and lose at least 1kg over the next 2 weeks. I found the tinsel and lights for the tree but the Advent calendar is still AWOL. The kids are quite pleased with their decorating endeavours and I am refraining from re-doing the job – not least because I simply can’t be bothered 😛 OMG the TINSEL!!!! Alright, I confess, I may tweak a couple of things…. Continue reading Tinsel take-over & weigh-in week 17

Adam and I were serenaded tonight by the kids with a spontaneous chorus of the Futurama version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.

The stuff of Christmas

The Advent calendar – my made-by-me, chocolate-free, re-usable felt wall hanging advent calendar, is no-where to be found. Seriously, I have no idea what I did with it. The tree – first haul it up from down in the garage, next find the box of decorations…realise the tinsel and lights are not in the box which you were SURE had everything in it…tell the kids they can’t decorate the tree till you find the lights…2 days later give up and let them decorate the tree anyway…if the lights and tinsel turn up we’ll worry about it then. Christmas cards – … Continue reading The stuff of Christmas

It’s too EARLY!!!!

mimbles

My kids have taken to wandering around the house singing Christmas carols and when I got home last night Tom and Caitlin had dug out the animated music playing stuffed reindeer and Santa. I made them put them back in the cupboard till December because I’m mean like that. Besides, I have an unreasonable desire to hang on to my sanity for just a little bit longer and a dozen repetitions of “We wish you a merry Christmas” while I’m trying to make lunches and get the kids to eat breakfast is guaranteed to drive me barmy! Other signs that … Continue reading It’s too EARLY!!!!

Weigh-in week 13

mimbles

I managed a loss of 0.9kg this week which brings me back to 8.5kg lost. I’m going to stick with Core for a couple more weeks at least, I’m feeling much more relaxed about my eating so it seems to be working quite well for now. I was at the school for half the day today. I’m getting a bit sick of that place 😛 I’m there most of tomorrow too but Thursday I get all to myself and I’m planning on doing some Christmas shopping so I’ve been working on my gift list, it’s hard! I need inspiration. Anyone … Continue reading Weigh-in week 13
