15 Marbles

Moments.Musings.Memories. ❤️Gathering little marbles from ordinary days and keeping them for our memory jar. ❤️

  • That should be my middle name!I was so good last week.Planned and cooked healthy meals,every single day,2-3 times a day.And it showed in our bank account and on my weighing scale.Come Saturday,we went to a birthday party after work-picked up takeaway on the way home.

    Sunday morning to evening,spent the whole day out furniture shopping/browsing-got takeaway on our way home.
    Monday- First day of the holidays-took the kids out,ate in the food court..was too tired,so cooked a nice cheesy pasta for dinner.
    Tuesday- work-day- went out for lunch with Ms.A and a friend.Had a meeting in the evening..got takeaway for dinner 😦

    Wednesday- 12WBT week 2 weigh-in – No change!!! Its better than a gain..but I am disappointed and mad at myself,because till Saturday morning,I had already lost another 700 gms. Seriously,if this isn’t self-sabotage,what is?

    So,this morning,I am back on the healthy bandwagon- not eating 12wbt meals..haven’t shopped.But this is what my food diary looks like today:
    Breakfast – 2 wholemeal parathas with chai- 248 cal
    Lunch- Crunchy sprouts,mixed greens,paneer salad- 265 cals
    Dinner- Slow-cooked Chicken plus steamed rice- ( I will aim to stay within 300 calories)
    Snacks- That’s the tricky one for me 😦 may be a boiled egg with some nuts and tea.

    Send me some stick-to-the-plan vibes or give me a stern talking to..:)
    More soon..

  • I have a new laptop ! yay! The last one was a write-off 😦 Just when I was warming up to it. This one is completely different from any laptops I have used before and might take a while to get used to.But at least I have a laptop.

    In the last few days,I have finished 3 books and sort of decluttered – used my time wisely 😀
    Its the first day of school holidays here and both girls were out of bed by 7:15 am..seriously,I thought I had trained them better.So,brekky’s done,I let them watch some TV and now we are going to walk up to our local shopping centre to meet Peppa Pig and Ms.A’s besties,followed by lunch.
    I am proud to tell you that we went a whole week without takeaways..pre-planning works.BUT we ended up getting Takeaways over the weekend. I tried my best to eat healthy, but yesterday wasn’t so good. So going to be really good today!I am not going to fall off the wagon this time..I am not going to fall off the wagon this time!!

    Ok now,I have washing to hang,battle with Ms.An to brush her hair and get her changed,so I will stop here. Have a nice day,lovely people 🙂
    I leave you with a pic of my three from a party this weekend…not the best photo,but I love it!

    This morning I woke up to see this 😦 Its the screen of my laptop . It does make a beautiful pattern though,but that doesn’t take away the hurt 😞
    It’s a sickie day here in the SunshineHouse .The girls are in their beds and I am on the couch.If there is one thing I miss after having kids,it’s snoozing on the couch.At any given time, there is atleast one kid wanting to share the couch with me-either sleeping on me or sitting on my feet.
    It’s so windy,cold and raining outside and just the thought of stepping outside is so revolting but it’s Ms.A’s last drawing class of the term and she told me that she CANNOT miss it..so I guess I’ll have to suck it up and be the grown up.No fair!
    Anyway, how is your day going?
    Ohh!!! Ohh!! I forgot to say-First weigh in of 12WBT and 600 gms gone! I have lost a total of 5.6kgs since 28th April 2014.Slow and steady but as long as the numbers are moving downwards
    😊

  • For a hoarder like myself,decluttering is scary. But I am being brave and acting like a grown up and getting rid of stuff that has been sitting in the our cupboards for years now.
    It a big step,specially for someone like me-heck!I even hoard the photos on my phone..WHAT? What if I need them at some stage?

    But today,I got rid of two bags of clothes,put aside one bag of towels to giveaway,got rid of all those extra cables and wires,that I keep saving for “if I need it someday”.
    And all that decluttering made me so tired that I fell asleep before hitting enter on this post 😀
    So here you are 🙂
