Mum on a Mission

This new mum is on a mission…to lose weight, to be the best mum I can, to be creative and to be the best version of "ME" I can.

Good week so far

March8

While my eating hasn’t been the greatest, the banana cake I baked yesterday has been calling my name, I have been on 2 walks both 2-3km long.

I should confess that I have indulged in some of the aforementioned cake, however when in a moment of weakness I reached for it to have for breakfast ( I know, shock horror), I am quite proud to say I resisted. Instead I had nothing, the better choice by a slim margin but by no means ideal. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, isn’t it?

I think I need to go back to writing down everything I’m eating. I really need to start tracking my points again but I’ll start with keeping a food diary to start with to get back in the habit of writing everything down and then start working out the points.

Have you noticed it’s getting colder over night? Brrr, winter is definitely on its way which isn’t going to help the whole exercise thing so I’ve got to get as much as I can in while the sun is still shining.

Updates on my other missions;

Organised Home – I was doing so well with keeping on top of the washing and dishes daily and then we had a manic weekend which threw everything out of whack so I’m back to square one. I did manage to do a deep clean and de-clutter of a corner of the lounge, that made me feel like I had accomplished something :) I cleared out the bookshelf, dusted and re-arranged, putting a stack of books into my “To Donate” pile. I threw out some rattan decorative balls that were old, faded and dusty and just really needed to go. So they’ve gone :) Some other bits and pieces have been moved to more appropriate homes as well.

Vege Garden – I  weeded the garden, again! This time however I actually dug in some Tui Organic Compost and watered it in. It then sat like that for about a week before I got out there again but then I (finally) transplanted my lettuce seedlings along with a rhubarb plant that I had been given at Christmas.

That’s it from me for today.

Keep well

Hi, I’m Cheryl and this blog is all about my missions in life.

Number 1 is to be the best mum I can to my little boy who was born in May 2010. My next priority is to lose weight which is what prompted me to start this blog in the first place. It’s  going to be a place for me to share with you on this journey. I love to be creative so will also be sharing my flashes of creativity in all things artsy and craftsy.

I’m not perfect so I will endeavour to be as honest as possible in my posts especially when it comes to any failures I will most likely have in my weight loss mission and in my new job as a Mum. The most important thing I need to remember is when I fall off the wagon that I get right back on again.
