Mumentum

Hi All

I am so soooorrrryyyy that I did not do this post last night but I was just too tired.

And we didn't get up till 10 a.m. so I could not do it any earlier than this - sorry again.

So for the majority of the past week I was on my time of the month, so I did not eat sensibly in any way and consumed a whole load of sugar.

The size 16 jeans still fit, but they leave a horrid red mark across my stomach - yes they are tight! Very tight!

So this week, I will have to sort my life out.

I didn't buy the ingredients for the smoothies that the Spent book recommends - see previous post.

I hope some of you have had great weeks and can give the rest of us some much needed inspiration.

As I don't have any good news on the weight loss front I think I'd better just head straight to opening up the linky.

One thing I will say is that we can offer each other Mumentum in every area of life, i.e. Midlife Singlemum wrote a post about the dishes piling up and she gave me a boost in the comments of that post and as a result I caught up on ALL the laundry yesterday so am all set for going back to work tomorrow. Thanks. High five!

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 All

I am doing what I have been doing for a few weeks now - just posting up the linky, so that those who are losing weight can do their weekly check in.

I still haven't got in the game myself.

Thanks to a bout of the big D for 4 days at the beginning of November I did shed a bit of weight around the tummy and I can feel that I have kept it off, but I have not weighed myself.

I am still yet to start the Lemonade Diet (aka The Master Cleanse)... and had intended doing so, so that I would look nice at the Tots 100 xmas party - kinda running out of time now though.

Most of the weight loss mummy bloggers I look up to, are waxing lyrical about Thinking Slimmer at the moment so I really ought to get me a slimpod.

Anyway, if you are in the Mum Tum game, or wanna be, sign up to the Linky below.

Then grab the code for the bottom of your related post, so that people can hop from blog to blog - this is a blog hop after all.

MUMenTUM - Monday Mum Tum

Hi

Mumentum is a weekly blog hop (Mondays) for Mums who want to lose their Mum Tums...

I haven't posted the #Mumentum Linky in a couple of weeks - sorry.

30th October I had Aaron's baptism party.
And last week, I ...... don't know what happened....

Anyway, I still haven't started my Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet but I have lost weight thanks to having 4 days of the BIG D a couple of weeks ago.

I haven't weighed myself but all my clothes are loser and the hubby has noticed too.

Anyway what are you all up to? Doing great things I should imagine.

Tell us all about it in a post and link to it below. Grab the code for the bottom of your post as that is what makes it a blog hop.

Bye for now, Liska xxx

Monday MUMenTUM - Weekly Blog Hop to Lose your Mum Tum

Hi All

Here I am again, posting the linky, for all you enthusiastic Mumentum followers.

I need to become a follower myself.

I need to BEGIN...

I haven't even downloaded my Slim Pod from Thinking Slimmer yet.

Anyway, over to you. As usual, write a relevant post, grab the code below for the bottom of your post and add a link to your post in the easy to use Linky below.

I never have to say it as you do anyway, but share some blog love with each other and visit each other's posts. I never did last week (even though I normally visit everyone) because I was busy trying to settle Aaron in nursery and could think of nothing else.

Work is quite busy too, which sees me reaching for all the wrong foods.

Onwards and upwards this week.

Best of luck to you all.

Lots of love,
Liska

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 :-)

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 :-(

Hi

I am going to be different this week, and do a post of my own (tomorrow) that I will add to the Linky.

For now, with it being nearly midnight and me having work tomorrow, I simply open the Linky forthwith :-)

For newcomers, below are the criteria

• You are a Mum
• With a Mum Tum
• Who needs some Mumentum to lose weight, get fit, get healthy or ... all 3
• Please write a relevant post and that is the post that should be added to the Linky.  It can be a slightly older one, if you have a relevant one already, and you can write a fresh one for us next week.

I am not a rules type blogger but last week there were about 8-12 Links that I had to remove and it is tedious so I guess that's why rules get invented and here they are.

Lots of love and I hope you either had a good week, or have plans for having a good week in the coming week.

On my homepage you can find a link to the biogs of people who are already part of Mumentum - we are a friendly bunch.

And if you are looking for daily chat on Twitter we can be found tweeting at #Mumentum.

Bye for now,
Liska xxx
