Yes I am still on my weight loss journey, or more rightly another weight loss journey cause I put most of what I lost back on again!<br />
<br />
So I hear you cry what you are doing now?! Well since January I have been doing freedom eating combined with 5:2 diet, plus using a Bodyblade (more to come on that) and have lost 29lbs not to mention inches galore but without paying out each week, being told off and getting upset. I have a fabulous support network via Facebook too. There's lots of stuff there I guess many of you don't understand but am not going to do a huge post on here right now, that will bore you to tears all in one hit.<br />
<br />
So why am I back? It's all down to me being asked by so many people for advice on cooking, recipes etc not only through work but also on the Facebook forum I am on where the lovely people there support me. Today's question was about Miso and what to do with this wonderful healthy product so whilst I have done a quick answer on there I will endeavour in a future post to demystify this ingredient and also offer hints, tips and recipes, even recommendations about things to try and possibly NOT to try!<br />
<br />
So if all this has whetted your appetite stop by again plus let me know what you would like to know!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-76646340978153746532011-09-11T12:28:00.000+00:002011-09-11T12:28:30.535+00:00Sooooooohere I am FOUR stone lighter and feeling like a new woman!! Wearing clothes I never thought I would and loving it!!! Still going to keep going tho cause want to have a healthy BMI!!!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-87163920570398057392011-03-02T13:43:00.000+00:002011-03-02T13:43:26.688+00:00Weightwatchers update!!Well another week and another weigh in - lost another 4lbs so have now lost over half a stone at 7.5 lbs which means I got my silver 7!!!<br />
<br />
Found that I am eating a lot more apples and other fresh fruit but have to say that tip of the week this week is when you are full - STOP eating!!! Sounds easy doesn't it LOL! We went to a carvery last week which was really good as lots of veggies but had planned for a dessert as well - when it came to it I really wondered if the points were worth it and as I was full anyway went without one!!! <br />
<br />
All in all feeling very pleased with myself I have to sayBagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-63144777581157019522011-02-23T18:34:00.000+00:002011-02-23T18:34:32.439+00:00Weight WatchersWell we did it last week and a friend and I have joined Weightwatchers! One week in and I have lost three and a half pounds and no I am NOT sharing with you all how much I have to lose except to say that this is going to be a marathon and NOT a sprint LOL!<br />
<br />
They have a new system now for counting the points called Propoints and the best part is that fruit now has a zero point value so will be keeping the fruit bowl full! Hubby is following the plan as well and has lost 3lbs this week with a total of 10 now since cutting back in January - watch this space for the incredible shrinking couple and we will try and share hints and tips with other WWs out there as well.<br />
<br />
So .......... what is my tip of the week? Meringue nests! Just had one with just half a pot (75g) of natural yogurt and some frozen mixed berries (defrosted) and it was just yummy and felt like a real indulgence so we will be having more of these.<br />

Well sort of in that I need to get DH and DD to write down their hopes for 2011 so that I can add them to the book. Have to say it is a great book to make and so easy to put together! Sorry that there is not very much to show but love the fact that I have been able to use some beautiful envelopes I had been given and not know what to do with them.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much Karen for doing this and best of all I have not bought any more stash!!!!! Here's to Love in February .............. still working on that one but have a few options so should not be a problem :)!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-58294535708579524902011-01-31T19:59:00.000+00:002011-01-31T19:59:10.349+00:00Fallen at the first!!!Yes here we are at the end of January and I have not managed to do my first mini book! Still on a positive note the house is much much tidier and we are all taking part in keeping that way AND improving upon it week by week so here's to a nice clean start to 2011 - just need to get the book done before I am due to start for Feb now and get myself a bit slimmer too!!! LOL! Just hope that everyone is having more luck with their mini a month!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-77678644084714334652011-01-11T16:15:00.001+00:002011-01-11T22:42:30.299+00:00New BeginningsOK so I have now figured out what I am going to do for this month for my mini book this month without really thinking about it. New beginning are going to be to have a (reasonably) tidy house by getting everyone else at home on board with it too (shame I cannot include the kitties in that LOL!) and although everyone says this I really want this year to be one that I end a bit fitter and slimmer. I had back problems late last year and basically if I don't do these things then it is going to keep coming back so I really need to hit these goals!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK off to find out more about what is happening with the mini books this week and will keep you updated on how I am getting along - wish us all luck!!!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-63754275182379021862011-01-08T19:26:00.000+00:002011-01-08T19:26:50.802+00:00New Year New Start???Well here goes into 2011!!

There is a website for the Flylady but I am not following that to the letter just taking elements of it and certainly tackling the house room/zone by zone! This week I have done both the bathroom and the ensuite and have to say I am very ashamed of us all to think that they could have got this way.<br /><br />Every night before I head off to head I make certain the sink is clear, clean and shiny ready for the next day. In the morning when I get out of my bed I make it! Sounds easy when you put it like that but the best thing of all is that it seems to be infectious and DD and DH are now joining in too which is really great!<br /><br />I am however going to have to step out of this wonderful system this weekend and have a mad dash around the house as we have guests next weekend so want to make certain that things are not too bad for when they visit! Still on to the next area......<br /><br />As as for the crafting - well been busy there too with lots of cards again so will be posting these next week once the birthday girls have all had theirs. Will also have some Easter cards by then using my new Candyfloss and Marshmallow bunny stamps. Hope to see you back next week :)Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-29304041701447463072009-03-03T14:22:00.007+00:002009-03-03T14:41:43.304+00:00So now we have some LOs!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmj3dKiHlUinEsoccvpunvbwYmtD6g3PYKmf8eG9HGEuxoO7776wBzTgc5JUlJtplOJ7GbRwrB7i2zix2TRlDDgEkSRuUIsnJKqm6FIwBTaqlIpmCAxmaaCZljHUkLb8zosOY7bcVXQEjW/s1600-h/Lavender+Grace.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 297px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmj3dKiHlUinEsoccvpunvbwYmtD6g3PYKmf8eG9HGEuxoO7776wBzTgc5JUlJtplOJ7GbRwrB7i2zix2TRlDDgEkSRuUIsnJKqm6FIwBTaqlIpmCAxmaaCZljHUkLb8zosOY7bcVXQEjW/s320/Lavender+Grace.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308967262966356978" border="0" /></a><br />So after no LOs for a long time it was the UK Scrappers cybercrop that finally gave me the kick I needed and got me creating again! Have not added any journalling or title to the first LO cause I want to frame it.

In fact I have to confess this is actually the first Christmas LO I have ever done despite the fact I seem to have lots of Christmas stash. All the papers on this are from DCWV, the letters are Thickers by American Crafts with the little Candy Cane from K&Co. Another great class from the CC but these were the only three I managed to get done cause BT decided it was time for my internet to stop working so at 5pm on the Saturday I had to call it a day much to my annoyance!<br /><br />Still the inspiration was flowing so I did not stop and went on to create this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwJP1ipPcTP-2rrFoG112mpo-0CeX9gXvezI8pf_KMuTXZ22ZKKyAFIGS8-aC_o-nEHPPtjVsFzx5CJ2iqo0pbrNkcNKjjpAEP2cOddbsQQBrkbowTcLGUrcoQ4CezXbh43VXGbpTSZCp/s1600-h/Room+on+the+Broom.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwJP1ipPcTP-2rrFoG112mpo-0CeX9gXvezI8pf_KMuTXZ22ZKKyAFIGS8-aC_o-nEHPPtjVsFzx5CJ2iqo0pbrNkcNKjjpAEP2cOddbsQQBrkbowTcLGUrcoQ4CezXbh43VXGbpTSZCp/s320/Room+on+the+Broom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308969137916272082" border="0" /></a><br />It was a class from the CC and the web was meant to be created by sewing - which is NOT me at all unless it is cross stitch of course! So the inspirstion was there and my web is created with Stickles instead PLUS I finally used some of my Halloween papers from DCWV that I had so coverted at the time and never ever touched!<br /><br />Also did some hidden journalling on this one to show where the title came from:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrhllEV9OWRHTsG0ZJ8zdpKTNcDyY1uXDOUMDNWyNksoZIav_0CtkLw6FTGCBnDJLdTNKr2zh4EoDlsGPJpoph82d3w0tv6kGsGYC32mMeSK1wPNLpRDW3dVp_S7MwYE1fDnVLY0UXgiQ/s1600-h/Room+on+The+Bromm+Tag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrhllEV9OWRHTsG0ZJ8zdpKTNcDyY1uXDOUMDNWyNksoZIav_0CtkLw6FTGCBnDJLdTNKr2zh4EoDlsGPJpoph82d3w0tv6kGsGYC32mMeSK1wPNLpRDW3dVp_S7MwYE1fDnVLY0UXgiQ/s320/Room+on+The+Bromm+Tag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308969707219045378" border="0" /></a><br />For those of you who have never seen this this is the cover of the book "Room on The Broom" which at the time DD absolutely loved - you will see she has tried to be the same and poor Mog was tied onto her broom!<br /><br />So to the final LO for now - are you still with me????<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRnHw4ktsETbxCCbpafQmYowY6e_y2cOi-8xNf-2sdVK_DZxlggITQ6bkOndrOgGZ5WxOOcoZcVL1u38Qgugh4mnCYJII9IWpfu2HPmT0cQsHYqGeACfhzgfoD3bFTyQAQYhwNDtAAaf3/s1600-h/Isn't+She+Lovely.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRnHw4ktsETbxCCbpafQmYowY6e_y2cOi-8xNf-2sdVK_DZxlggITQ6bkOndrOgGZ5WxOOcoZcVL1u38Qgugh4mnCYJII9IWpfu2HPmT0cQsHYqGeACfhzgfoD3bFTyQAQYhwNDtAAaf3/s320/Isn't+She+Lovely.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308970333349094210" border="0" /></a><br />Just realised I have been having good use out of my DCWV papers cause this is from the Butterflies and Blossoms collection which I got for my birthday! Glittery swirls were created with the help of a template and then covered with Stickles to make them sparkle! There are lots of jewels on this LO too courtesy of my bejeweller. So who can we see here then? My lovely friend Kaz and her (now) fiance Rich who are gettine married in September 2010. Kaz thinks the world of my DD and is now her adopted Godmother as she no longer sees one set of godparents - they left for the Med and we never heard from them again so if anyone knows where Lyn and Paul Hanby are please let me know!<br /><br />Thanks for sticking with me for so long - going to be a better blogger in future (yes yes I knwo you have heard this before!!!) so will only be the few cards or LOs to show you - speaking of which the next time will be cards again as I have been a busy bee.<br /><br />Waiting too for my Stazon to arrive as I have the new range of Dandelion and Daisy stamps which I have yet to play with so watch out for some creations with those!!!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-17509941018745083822009-02-24T11:24:00.009+00:002009-02-24T11:47:04.825+00:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQck7wmUS-Dzb4v5rpd7KI4eVfAJRrvq74hXqqPzaJmmya1UPyyNkwJhsuZezfESNrdBXR8gDULR5-muFBFoVKbWtaURCrM0wB8xHBtv9dgDTRf4oMtRta0UDN5C1pkKZNrAWwFiOInns_/s1600-h/Birthday+card+Julie+%28Sweden%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQck7wmUS-Dzb4v5rpd7KI4eVfAJRrvq74hXqqPzaJmmya1UPyyNkwJhsuZezfESNrdBXR8gDULR5-muFBFoVKbWtaURCrM0wB8xHBtv9dgDTRf4oMtRta0UDN5C1pkKZNrAWwFiOInns_/s320/Birthday+card+Julie+%28Sweden%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306324001703247858" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eJwnuca-_eaZOuHYn2aDgPtyDJEbbrQCT2UvF8_uzYUakGJzLUcDq2EHJyypI49HZmW4bx3Yv1NJUUjGB7do4n0RbB7n80xp1HRwojw2i4H_AZhVbkNtPY67OaQ-u6luy5ig5Zwgv7jg/s1600-h/Birthday+-+TheresaB.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eJwnuca-_eaZOuHYn2aDgPtyDJEbbrQCT2UvF8_uzYUakGJzLUcDq2EHJyypI49HZmW4bx3Yv1NJUUjGB7do4n0RbB7n80xp1HRwojw2i4H_AZhVbkNtPY67OaQ-u6luy5ig5Zwgv7jg/s320/Birthday+-+TheresaB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306323535074178514" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So here we are! I am back! It is spring (well nearly) so here are a springtime cards that I recently made for birthdays. Finally getting some use out of my H2Os but as ever I am too fussy and spend too much time actually making my stamped images so a card like this can take me a couple of hours!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg447fC85DfoQLDvjBfHqHvisALnbB0QHJfN18rKmQ58m-YRSWKXWsn1PdrmIypzmlrk1JjrR9MDWBJ7k9QjcpbvqLMiOK85PrzwixnDAt6RXixG4RVdruMGNz3kCW9uvJQb7RmJ6b2W7bx/s1600-h/Birthday+Card+-+Bailey+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg447fC85DfoQLDvjBfHqHvisALnbB0QHJfN18rKmQ58m-YRSWKXWsn1PdrmIypzmlrk1JjrR9MDWBJ7k9QjcpbvqLMiOK85PrzwixnDAt6RXixG4RVdruMGNz3kCW9uvJQb7RmJ6b2W7bx/s320/Birthday+Card+-+Bailey+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306324376133599090" border="0" /></a>Had a panic yesterday when I realised it is my nephew's birthday today!

He was thrilled with this card and I really don't mind spending the time on cards for him as he really appreciates the effort that is put into them. Cannot claim it as all my own work though as the template came from UK Scrappers, although I did alter the windscreen a bit to make it correct for him.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttgm2NfloHX-uTetRpLHfK8d9kD4MCf_nVNY8pTfAhj6cMOct5V-zcNY_yakiR-j5Jz0qhTs9Fqn7gCT84SXNvmg_sAlfWtwo4t1YoCcfP1iEVOUZ-NZIp4S0pLB4yMQ5CcMnIQ6lmdH5/s1600-h/Anni(450+x+600%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttgm2NfloHX-uTetRpLHfK8d9kD4MCf_nVNY8pTfAhj6cMOct5V-zcNY_yakiR-j5Jz0qhTs9Fqn7gCT84SXNvmg_sAlfWtwo4t1YoCcfP1iEVOUZ-NZIp4S0pLB4yMQ5CcMnIQ6lmdH5/s320/Anni(450+x+600%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306326971546035938" border="0" /></a>This one was done for my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary again in December (busy month in this family!). My Dad has now given my 10 years notice for me to get one done for him for their Golden cause he had such problems getting a Ruby Wedding card with Wife on it. As you can see another robo creation - courtesy of UK Scrappers (apologies I really must note people's names when I save these templates). What you cannot really see on this picture is the beautiful patterned pearlescent vellum behind the lattice work.<br /><br />Well I am going to leave it there and save the scrapbooking LOs for another time but yes I AM crafting again and even better creating LOs cause as some of you might know cards are only done to save me buying them. So until next time!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-69663762008256905352009-02-23T19:46:00.001+00:002009-02-23T19:48:34.720+00:00Once again.....here I am apologising for not being a good blogger! Guess part of it comes down to the lack of crafting BUT the good news is that I have been crafting once again! DD is back at school tomorrow so hopefully I will have the time to come back on here and share with you some of the work that I have been doing. Most of it was kick started by the UK Scrappers cybercrop a couple of weeks back together with some nice new Expedit units from Ikea which have transformed my room and also meant that DH decorated it for me too! Piccies of that to follow when Ikea have my pink baskets in.Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617454068164671502.post-63699471860134361622009-01-17T16:13:00.000+00:002009-01-17T16:18:51.663+00:00Been a long time......since I came on here and wrote anything at all. Just need to say a lot has gone on and not all of it do I want to post on the internet, but I have been ill and I am on the road to recovery now.<br /><br />The saddest thing I have to post though is about one of my lovely ginger cats. Poor Tangle was run over and killed a week ago Thursday. My neighbours found him in their front garden and it was too late for us to do anything. It was nice to think he was trying to come home to us but we were all very very sad about his death and he will be very much missed.<br /><br />On a brighter note, we have got a new arrival to the family in the form of Kizzy. A little female tortie who is around 8/9 months old who we got from the RSPCA in Brighton after they rescued her from a house with 70 animals, 30 of which were cats and kittens, just before Christmas. Even this is a sad story as the cat we originally reserved turned out to be FIV positive so could not be rehomed with us. Luckily they had the cat who is now our Kizzy who is gradually getting braver and coming out more and more. Cheshire is not too bothered about her but she is a bit of a hisser towards hime at the moment although hopefully that will all change.<br /><br />Promise to share photos when she stays still long enough for us to take one!Bagpusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14128551161279755245noreply@blogger.com4
