I’m starvin Marvin and it’s not even noon….This healthy lifestyle is hard going…ah no, it’s fab.
Got two great compliments (ok one from my mother so maybe that doesn’t count!) yesterday about losing weight….one from a local boutique owner if you don’t mind. Actually, maybe she was just trying to drum up business! Ah no, I’m not good for taking compliments, but positive reinforcement like that is always welcome, especially when you are only on day two of healthy living! Also watched operation transformation on the telly and saw what that gang were able to achieve in 8 weeks – some of them were losing 2-3 stone.
But it’s not just about weight….it’s about feeling better….and I’ve made a list (thinking of making a cool mini book – that’s how hopeful and positive I am about this working) of the reasons WHY – not very many are for health reasons but who cares…I need to keep looking at my reasons to keep me going. Also a treat on Sunday is worth looking forward to!
Have a good weekend…I’m not sure what I’ve planned. The little one was sick on Wed night but seems fine now (after destroying two sets of bed linen!) so quality time with littluns and a major house clean up required – that should burn some calories while I’m at it! Have a good one, whatever you get up to.

Healthier New Me!
So, I haven’t blogged in 2 months….what’s that all about. In those two months we had Christmas, Eilis turned 5 and we moved into the new house. Must post photos…in fact must tidy house and take photos, but I said I’d blog quick to get back in habit.
Had Crafteire at the weekend. What fun. It’s such a treat – my spa weekend as I put it. So much better than a spa and you have lots of creative bits coming home with you. Great friends, chat, ideas, creativity….it’s wonderful. Classes were fab – I did 5 on the Saturday and yes I will finish the house…at some stage…although it’s more difficult than building a real house!
Made pancakes last night...but did I take any photos?! Duh! Had great fun flipping them - we have now a super high ceiling so there's no risk (we also had eaten about 6 apiece at that stage so there was no major problem if one accidentally tried to escape!).
40 days and 40 nights…..new healthy lifestyle starts today….with a view to losing a stone overall but somewhere between a half and a stone between now and Easter Sunday. I think lent happens at a good time in that you have probably tried and failed at the whole New Years Resolution and it gives you another shot at it. I didn’t really make many resolutions – of course I want to be healthier, but with the amount of rubbish in our house left over from Christmas and then people calling to the house and then Eilis’s birthday parties meant that it has taken until now to eat our way through the sugar. Simple Lenten resolutions for me towards a healthier lifestyle (not diet) are – no junk, except I’m allowed a treat on a Sunday. Also I will eat breakfast. Simple as….for now. We have to see what kind of results are yielded with that plan. Weekly weigh in, keep a diary/notebook for inspiration and review the plan after 2 weeks – might need to exercise to meet goals, but it’s too dark in the evenings at the moment and I’m not paying to get fit – that’s another resolution.
