Sorry it's been a while.

Well, i started my diet (or life change as some like to call it ) on monday May 7th. So far i have lost 6 pounds. Some say it's allot in a week , but you have to keep in mind that it's just the first week, when in general we loose the most water weight and then the weight comes down gradually. I wish i could already see and feel a difference, but it's going to take allot of time and patience on my part. I struggle with dieting everytime. Why is it that when you can't eat something, that's the exact food you crave at that particular moment?. I never eat coookies, but this week i would even eat the cookie crumbs left over after my kids finish the little bags. What's up with that? I know it's going to take time and the weight should come off at some point, i'm just waiting to fit in my clothes better. My weight was 191lbs and now i'm down to 185lbs. Wish me luck!

Dieting

I need to loose weight!!!...like who doesn't?....no, but seriously....i've thinking about going on yet another diet for weeks now but i lack motivation. I have lost 60lbs in the past so know i can do it again..but man!..it's harder this time. I'm always looking for the fastest way to loose the weight...does anyone have any suggestions?....i'm almost willing to do anything....short of starving myself...i weigh more now than i did 6 weeks after giving birth 3 and a half years ago...around 30lbs more i would say...how depressing is that?.....what's up with that???......i need serious help and some kind of motivation....Help!!!! I would love you hear of anyone's proven weight loss secrest ....so bring it on......

so much harder than i thought

This blogging is soooo much harder than i thought, not because i don't have much to say (I have plenty on my mind) but because of my lack of time. I usually wake up at 6:45 am....i run downstairs into the kitchen, turn the coffeemaker on (i prepare it the night before), throw in a toast or bagel for my husband, get the kids lunch boxes filled, put them in the hallway in plain view, get my daughter's milk warmed up, set the table for breakfast, call my husband down, (he's upstairs getting ready..i ask the kids what they want to eat...prepare that......hubby comes...eats and off he goes. My daughter comes down for her milk...kids eat ..i run up to get dressed (at least presentable) so that i can drive my younger son to school.....off we go at 7:45. Come back, I then get my daughter dressed and do her hair. I then proceed to shower....change again...put on make up....get two kids in car ...and head off to play group...oh! and drop my older son off at his highschool on the way....Playgroup starts at 9:00. we usually leave there at 1:00pm....then it's off for some errands..pick up younger son at 3:05...back home.....start homework....supper...play with my daughter (all through out the day )....clean up the kitchen....do the beds ...throw in a load of laundry....answer the many questions my daughter asks of me... Then my older son comes in at 4:30pm...we start on his homework (for some reason he always asks for help).... i set the table for supper, at 6:50pm...hubby comes home.....we eat....clean up after supper....it's already 7:45....i get my daughter in a bath...prepare lunches for the next day and the coffee.....put everyone to bed by 9:00pm....and then i'm totally exhausted...i shower ( i know i shower allot).....and that's when i can finally cuddle up to my husband...and watch some tv.....i could come down to blog then but honestly i'm just way too tired... This is a typical day for me........so i'll blog as often as i could butdon't hold it against me if i don't do it often enough....

I've been tagged

This is quite harder than i thought it would be.

1) I'm a perfectionist (just ask my husband seems i drive him nuts with this)

2) I have a hard time saying 'NO" to people who ask me for help, money, rides, babysitting.........

3) I can speak three languages fluently (English, French and Polish)

4) I was born in Poland and came to Canada when i was 5 years old (therefore making me more of a Canadian that anything else)

5) I never leave the house without makeup on.

6) I have three older sisters and younger brother.

7) I'm a shopoholic ( but i never use credit) especially for kids clothes...my daughter and sons have more clothes than anyone else i know

I hope this got you to see another side to me....:)...a good one i hope....I don't have 7 people to tag so i'll just have to leave it at this....

I have a question

I have a question. I have two sons, and a 3 year old daughter...so why is it that i'm still not sure if i should have more children or not. I can't seem to tell my husband that we are not having anymore kids. He's content with the kids we have ...but i can't seem to make up my mind. Am i the only one who struggles with this?...I know that i'm luckier already than most to be blessed with three healthy wonderful children....but my heart aches for one more. What if i have one more...will i still want "one more" after that? when will this feeling stop? I wish i could just send my husband for his vasectomy and be over baby making..but everytime he mentions it i say sure make an appointment...and then tell him wait ...i'm not sure ....Seeing babies usually makes me want one even more....but then when i have a hard time with one of the kids i say 'ENOUGH"....Mixed feelings is what i call it. I just wish i felt certain about my decisions.....i guess i have to wait a little longer before i make my final decision....(not too long..since i'm not getting any younger lol) Does anyone else struggle with this?

glorious day outside

What a glorious day it is outside today...I'm going to get my daughter dressed in a bit (I' know....bad mom..child not dressed yet and it's 1:30pm....but i was busy cleaning the house folks and since we weren't going anywhere i didn't think it was a problem ) and get ourselves out there to enjoy the sunshine. I love days like today....They make you feel full hope and promise....as if you could conquer anything (good time to start my diet heh!)....so off we go......to get some fresh air.

Playgroup

I take my daughter to a playgroup once a week. It's a nice way for us to spend the day and lets me interact with other moms. I didn't realize how isolated i was going to be once i had my daughter, since all my friends my age had their children at the same time i had my boys (we're talking 9 and 11 years ago before she was born) . By the time my daughter Emma came around everyone was out of baby mode. This playgroup has been great, and i've made lots of friends with kids her own age. Now we get together socially on weekends with our husbands. Weather wise things have improved, the sun came out and it got a little warmer which is great. Let's hope the weekend is as beautiful and warmer. We need a break here!
