Lovely day today….

so far anyway!

Its a bit cold today but it is not too bad. We have had some warm weather a time now and you can actually see bulbs coming up in the beddings around the house! It is almost spring already, I cant believe it!

My little girl has one of her friends over for a play date and they are so funny when they are playing. Apparently they are playing dogs at the moment, one of them is in the dog park making a poo! The imagination they have……

I have had a set back when it comes to my weight loss, I just cannot make it when I am alone at home (my husband has been working abroad this whole week) I seem to just fetch everything that we have in the cupboards and stuff in my mouth! It is really depressing! And it is not like I don't know that what I am doing is wrong. Of course I do, I am 41 years of age and I think I know almost everything there is to know about loosing weight and nutrition. Even though I am not a nutritionist I have been interested in my weight and health for the last 20 years so I would say I am qualified!

I will try and get back into the mood of loosing weight again, making some nice food for us all and see if I can get this going again! It is hard work everyday and I think that is what puts me off. This is a never ending story for me, for the rest of my life and the thought of that is just exhausting!

My sister has joined the weight watchers online and it is working very well for her. I might think about that as well. I will let you know what will happen.

Talk to you soon again. Going to get a fat free cup of coffee know……..

More fish to the people……

Have you heard of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls Fish fight? If you haven't you should really have a look at either the show at Channel 4 or go to www.fishfight.net and join the fight for the completely senseless waste that is happening within the fishing industry. Tonnes and tonnes of good eating fish is discarded back to the seas because of the quota system.

This must be one of the most disrespectful and unbelievably horrific things I have ever seen and heard about. Perfectly fresh and eatable fish is to be left in the sea to rot. Did the people who decided about the quotas not anticipate this? How could that be?

I do understand that we need to take care of the diversity of species we have in our seas but there must be a better way than this which is actually killing off tonnes of the fish that we are trying to save by having quotas. Talk about a catch 22! 

 

Signing off – talk to you another day! Do not forget the Fish Fight

Birthday

It's my birthday today! I'm turning 41 and I feel like I'm no more than 25. Is that fair do you think? Sometimes I think life goes too quickly and sometimes it can't go fast enough! Do you think it is like that for the rest of your life?
There is a lot of questions going on tonight......
Might be that crisis that people are talking about when you turn 40!

I have had a really nice day though which started with home-made chocolate cake in bed at 7 o'clock (which I had made myself but anyway)and some really nice gifts. I did the schoolrun and after that I went up to the horses and fed them. I was thinking about riding but the rain was just poring down so it made more sense to go home, relax and have a cup of coffee. I did enjoy that I must say, the rain tapping on the roof and complete silence in the house. That is rare , believe you me.
Now I am having my second glass of wine and I starting to feel a bit tipsy.....

I think I might just write more tomorrow.

Got a new phone

Got the new iPhone 4 for Christmas. It's amazing and beautiful and I am almost scared to use it! The screen is very bright and really amazing on such a small little thing. I am actually writing this post from the phone and it is not hard work either! I wont be writing a very long post tonight but I think this is really fantastic. So far the only bad thing about this phone is that it is beautiful and I am somewhat scared to drop it all the time......

I can report on my weight as well, I have not yet gone down more but I also haven't gained anything so I am happy. I also got back on the horse today so hopefully this is going to help shift the weight too.

Well....talk to you soon!

Long time ago now…….

It has been a very long time since I wrote anything on this blog. Life has sort of come in the way of everything. Nothing special, it has just been so much going on after the summer finished.

And frankly I was not sure I did the right thing writing a blog. For whom am I writing this? For myself or everyone else? It is a good question, right? I would say it is all for me and for no one else but why would I start a blog since the blog phenomenon is all about sharing!! It is a bit confusing…….

Anyway - I have yet another time started to try and loose weight! Yeah! I know, again….it is the curse of the female body. You need to be (as a mother) nurturing and caring and when you take care of all and everyone around you you need to cook good and nourishing food but you cannot EAT any of it because then everything is just piling up!!!! Life sucks! I love food but I really have a bad relationship with it. This time I will try and loose weight together with my sister who also has a slight weight problem.

My sister is very determined and cannot see a failure so I am hoping some of that determination will rub off on me. It has gone very well so far. I weighed myself in on 75,8 kg, which is an all time high. And now I have gone down to 72,3 kg. And this over Christmas time, so I am very happy about this. I will just take one day at a time and see what happens. But this is not only for beach 2011 this will have to be for the rest of my life. I know that I have not been very determined in the past and mostly because it is hard to do everything all the time. Taking care of a family and everything that comes with that it has been hard to put another thing to do on top of everything.

I will also try and get some more stuff out on this blog – hopefully give you a little bit more to read and maybe some really useful stuff as well!

See you soon!
