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.

Keep going…

I wouldn’t describe my life at the moment as hell exactly but I’m feeling the strain. With hubby off work injured and not really able to help with DS a whole lot has fallen onto my shoulders. Being a SAHM my days were all about DS anyway but I got my breaks and down time when he went down for his naps. With DH at home however I don’t get that break because I need to do stuff for him when I would usually be enjoying some peace and quiet plus we’ve been running from appointment to appointment to try and find out what he’s actually done to himself.

Add in the stress about money not coming in from the primary breadwinner and a flatmate (my sister) who does bugger all around the house and the end result is where I am at the moment; standing on the edge trying not to fall over.

I managed to fit a walk into today’s busy schedule, while DH was at the sports physician I headed down the road to the Botanic Gardens and managed to fit in a quick walk around with DS in the buggy. I also had some incidental exercise in the form of the grocery shopping and walking around the corner to work this afternoon and then of course home again once I had finished.

Eating wise; Breakfast was poached egg on a piece of toast. Lunch was a Satay Chicken filled roll from the bakery (not the best choice but all they had left) and 1/2 an apple doughnut (not so good). Dinner – 2 x Mince Burritos with lettuce, cheese & carrot with a smallish piece of chocolate (DS’s Easter egg which I’m slowly finishing).

I’m feeling alright with what I’ve eaten today, I could have ended up picking at a lot more like I sometimes have the tendancy to do but do to being so busy today I didn’t have the oppurtunity thank goodness.

Right well that’s enough from me for tonight, I’m off to read a bit more some weight loss blogs on the WW site and then off to bed.

Catch you later :)

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.
