My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Mothers day

My boys made an extra special effort this morning for me. i got a lie, they all stayed in their rooms till 8am. Then they came in with home made cards and they were really lovely. As i know they could not make me breakfast in bed (as daddy not here), they drew a picture of a tray and put all the things they thought i would like, complete with a picture of a flower. Well it made my day.

Despite all the arguments between the kids they have tried so hard today to be good boys.

Its far too windy today and freezing outside(we even had snow flurries this morning) so they have been playing on the Wii or the game cubes to keep them selves entertained..

We have been looking at old photos on the computer and having a good laugh (you know the baby ones in the bath)

I then saw a photo of me taken 4 years ago when i lost over 4 stone . i amazed at how good i looked. the boys then said mammy why are you so big now. I just told them mammy will get back to that size soon. Ive only gone up one dress size but i just feel so uncomfortable with carrying the extra weight. Especially since i threw out all my old 'big clothes' when i lost the weight initially.

If ever there was an incentive to lose weight it is looking at a photo of you looking fantastic(as my kids think) and then looking at a more recent photo and the kids say you look fat mam.

My diet has been hard to stick to recently, but i shall start tommorow and i have got a note book which i shall write down all that i eat.

Ive set myself the target of being back comfortably in my jeans by August when i move to Germany.

 Once my exam is over i wont be sitting around studying, so i can be a lot more active again.
