Mumentum - Monday Blog Hop for Mums losing their Mum Tums

Hi

Here we are another week.

Well I have spent the last week trying to eat what is left of Xmas, and it has shown on the scales.  I am not one for weighing myself as I believe it is nicer to go by how your clothes feel, and muscle is heavier than fat etc... but I wanted to see if I'd kept the 4kg off that I have been bragging about.

Well a week ago Publicasity gave me a YARD of JAFFA CAKES and the box contained individual boxes of jaffa cakes and suffice to say I am on my 3rd packet.  Yes, in a week!

So, I HAD gone from 95kg to 91kg, and I am now back up at 92kg, but I do not mind as the size 16 jeans are still fitting me, and I still feel slimmer and different! Something HAS indeed shifted - I have more self confidence.

So, here is the guilty YARD:

So, I have ALSO polished off the last of the Celebrations - this evening - which were ALL Mars Bars - not that I don't like Mars but I prefer everything else better!

So now, this week will see me eating healthily and only healthily.

Is Christmas also firmly behind you??? So that we can get a firm behind - ho ho ho!!!!!

Let me know......?

Now, over to you my little pesky pixies.

Lots of love, Liska xxx

MUMenTUM - Monday Mum Tum

Hi Everyone

Apologies that I did not open this Linky yesterday so that you could do it whatever time today you wanted.

I will get back to being organised I promise.

Anyway, I have finally started.

I am now having porridge for breakfast instead of toast (which always comes with Nutella or lately jam) and I am having proper saucepan cooked porridge, as I believe microwaves should be used as little as possible - if at all. I believe giving up bread will kickstart my progress.

I am giving up latte, and crisps, and alcohol and and and and, but the most important thing is I have begun. Today was my 2nd day in a row of a healthy home cooked meal by yours truly.

I have started :-)

Latte is history

My favourite bread has been "fired"

Porridge is now breakfast number 01

I hope to be able to report back next week with a few pounds off.  I feel like I need to make a pledge so that I won't let you all down.  I pledge to have lost 3 pounds (minimum) by this time next week.

MUMenTUM - Monday Mum Tum - Back to School (weight loss school)

Hi Everyone

Sorry I have been gone for a few weeks but I booked a last minute trip to Ireland to get a few weeks away before Aaron started at nursery.

So now this week the kids go back to school and we return to Mumentum.

My Aunt and I are starting a Monday weekly weigh-in tomorrow, so I will do a post about that tomorrow and link it here, to the linky below.

I hope you are all still around and ready to jump on board and welcome to anyone new :-)

For anyone new, all you do is write a relevant post and copy the link to it, into the linky below.  Then copy the code below to the bottom of your post as that is what makes it a blog hop.

I have lost the cable that links my camera to my laptop which is why I haven't done a post about Ireland, as it would be incomplete without snaps.

So, what is Mumentum about? It is about us ladies sharing momentum to lose our Mum Tums, hence the spin on words with MumenTum :-)

MUMenTUM - Monday Mum Tum

Hi

Well despite the fact that Mumentum's been running for weeks I have got fatter not slimmer during that time.

But thinks have reached a head now. My candida is at its worst and my coffee jar is empty, so this coming week is going to be the week where I really start to take things seriously.

Just look at my shadow:

And normally I am photogenic but I look quite large to say the least in my precious Gok Wan photos and people are starting to ask if I am pregnant because my Mum Tum has become THAT large.

I was back in my jeans 2 months after having Aaron and in December I was looking good but second half of December I'd put on weight by Xmas and it seems to have gone on and on and on and on. I do breastfeed less now, and I do eat ALOT more junk.

When Mum was here I used to make us healthy lunches and dinners but that was LAST Summer.........

Don't get me wrong I still had a MUM TUM (I had a c section) but it was nothing like it is now. It really is threefold now.

Really need to sort my life out as some of you are doing such amazing work. I promise to start doing you proud.

Over to you...

Getting Off the Starting Blocks - Mumentum

Hi

Well I still haven't got into a groove with this weight loss thing, despite coordinating Mumentum.

Weeks ago I had 1 week where my size 16 instead of 18 jeans fitted but it was a fluke and have been wearing the 18s ever since.

The last couple of days all my jeans were in the wash so I put on a maternity pair and used a belt to ensure they were tight - what scared me was that they were tight on the thighs yet when I was pregnant (even heavily) all my jeans were loose on the thighs.  I ate healthily when pregnant, that's the difference...

So this week I want to make a difference and report a decent loss to you all next week.

My Mum Tum and large arms on display at Cybermummy (with @Grumpinator)

I am going to have to start theming these weeks or something, to give us some direction.

Maybe it would help to publish the facts - yet again:

Normally at my heaviest I am 88kg.


I am currently 95kg.


I have a triplicate Mum Tum thanks to a C section.


I am a size 18 lady trapped outside a size 12 frame :-(
