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.

Easter Weekend & an update on Project Yummy Mummy

April25

I will start by saying things haven’t been helped by this long weekend that has been Easter..not at all!

How was your Easter weekend? What did you do?

We did a garden overhaul on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, Saturday we went to brunch in the city at Shaky Isles, Sunday night we went to Miranda Hot Pools, which after gardening that morning was heaven on tired muscles – I slept well last night! Today the plan was to go to Franklin Zoo but the weather was just too crappy so we’ve had a lovely lazy day, only interrupted by a necessary trip to the supermarket.

Weigh in on Good Friday put me up 100 grams. So in the last 2 weeks I have put on 300 grams, I going in the opposite direction for Pete’s sake! I know it’s all my own doing, there is no-one else to blame.

I did some skipping last week – didn’t even last 5 minutes! That’s something I’m going to work on increasing. Do 5 mins, 10, 15 etc. It was a good workout but definitely highlighted how unfit I am that’s for sure.

I should have worn my pedometer when we were walking around the city on Saturday we were there from about 9 until just before 2 and a fair chunk of that time was walking and looking around. There was also a lot of gardening happening on Good Friday and yesterday so surely that killed some calories too.

Of course none of it will count seeing as I’ve eaten so much chocolate.

Getting back on the wagon again tomorrow…promise!

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.
