We made ice-cream! (in under 5 minutes)

Its the 1st day of the school holidays and I was looking for something different to do with with Miss 8. After a bit of internet searching I found a quick an easy recipe for ice-cream! 

It might require a bit of forward planning if your not the sort of person who keeps lots of ice in the freezer (I used 4 trays worth of ice but it could have done with a bit more).

It's the last day of term!!

I know a lot of you will think that I'm crazy, but I LOVE school holidays! During the school term my house can get pretty chaotic with kids at school, me at Uni, assignments, after school activities etc. School holidays means that we can all relax!

weigh in 4

Its my 4th weigh in today and my 6th week of trying to lose those last pesky 4 kilos. Boy is this a slow and drawn out process! The weight is ever so slowly coming off which is a bit disappointing but at least its coming off. On the plus side all this healthy eating and exercise has helped change my mood. Life can be a bit tough as a mother of 3 little kidlets. Im sure i'm not alone when i say that some days are hard and some afternoons are measured in hours left until bedtime. On these days a quick run once the kids are in bed can make a huge difference to my mood. I have always been a fairly fit and healthy person and i'm starting to feel like my old self again. The fact that my youngest princess is sleeping through more often these days is probably also helping me feel normal, but i'm sure that most of the good vibes are coming from the exercise.

Piquing my Pinterest

This week I have been thinking a lot about healthy eating, and portion control. I started a new pin board for it, i called it Eat, Drink and be Merry. There is not a great deal on it at the moment as i have had a crazy week but i will keep adding to it as I am on a personal quest to lose weight, tone up and be able to wear a dress again.

weigh in 3

I missed weigh in last week. I was having some girls issues and felt bloated and just didn't feel like seeing how much bigger i was. I know its a silly reason but but when your feeling crappy I think its best to be kind to yourself.  So this weigh in is 14 days since my last. There has been a little change with is fantastic but more in cm's then in kilos. But im fine with that, as long as one of the numbers is heading in a downwards direction then I am doing something right.

Wordless Wednesday

For my wordless wednesday post this week i thought i would share the pic from my daughters 1st day of year 3. Although i have written on it so its technically no quite wordless :)

Weigh in 2

Well it was weigh in day today, and i got some confusing results. I did a sneaky weigh in midweek and i was down to 63.2 kilos. I was pretty happy thinking that with a few more days maybe i could get down below 63. So this morning i grabbed my measuring tape and headed to the bathroom feeling certain that i was going to be pleased with myself. I started with the measurements and while a few were still the same as last week there were a few that were a bit smaller as well. This was helping me confirm my theory that I had lost some weight. I stepped up on to the scales i closed my eyes while the numbers settled... I opened them again to to reveal that i had put on a bit of a weight and not lost some.  I know my diet was pretty good this week and on treat day i still tried to count my calories and make sure that I didn't go over.
