Hello and welcome to week 11 of Wibbly Wobbly Weightloss.  As expected it really has been a wibbly wobbly, up and down kind of journey.  This week has been a vast improvement on last week.  I haven't been asked if I'm pregnant for starters! Something I didn't share last week because quite frankly I was a…

So...I'm in a charity shop en mass with five children and husband.  A6 runs up to me, having picked up a stethoscope, and held the stethoscope end to my tummy whilst trying to hear my heart beat.  I said jokingly 'Are you listening to my tummy?'  She giggled and ran off to listen to Gary's…

I'm a bit late with this post, not to mention being a bit distracted by various birthdays and birthday parties this week.  Last night we had A6's spa party and I'm exhausted.  Next time we're going to a farm or something!  Well, probably not.  Knowing myself, as I do, I'll have recovered by tomorrow and…

Hello everyone!  I've been itching to get back to blogging and have missed the interaction we all have each day.  I'm guessing most of you will have started your new year/term by now.  I do hope it is all going well for you all.  We start back on Monday and I'll be sharing some of…

Wibbly Wobbly Weightloss We're a bit early this week, for reasons which will become clear at the end of the post.  It has been a great week for healthy eating and healthy dates with my husband.  On Monday Gary and I played 50 minutes of badminton.  My heart and lungs were burning, I ached all…

Source Hello everyone! With the Uk in the middle of its first heat wave of the year, I have to report that I have been pathetic this week, in the extreme.  I do not like heat, never have, never will.  My walking has taken a complete nose dive.  Our home remains fairly cool, however,  so I have been stretching…

Another week has flown by.  Is it me, or does time pass much quicker the older one gets.  It seems to me it was yesterday I was writing last week's post.  My week has been purposeful in its pursuit of exercise and even when rain, thunder and lightening raged above, I was below trudging in…

I can't tell you what a joy it was to post last week and receive such a lot of wonderful input and enthusiasm!  I think as home schooling mums we are in an ideal position to help and encourage each other. The thread which seemed to pass through most of the comments was a focus…

I've put a lot of thought into the purpose of these posts, knowing that for me they could easily become a place for self-deprecation.  I'm good at that.  However, for once that is not what I want or what is needed.  As women, I think, we too often look in the mirror and despise what…

Yes, I know.  A slightly dodgy title.  I had been thinking about starting a new blog just for my weight loss and that was what I had decided to call it.  I'd even got as far as obtaining a domain for it.  However, when it came down to it I found I didn't really have…
