A new mama!

Haa, dear readers. Thank you for all nice compliments. I started the blog, because I want to write down my life as an busy mum, who tries to stay in balance with all things a mum has to cope with.
You see, the blog is sort like an Mum Journal. Ha ha!

At the moment, our whole family is waiting for that nice vacation; our summerholiday. I love the weeks I am with my family and for most: I like the days of no stress. No morning rush our. No preparing the kids for school, with their schoolbags, filled up with things they need for eating, gymnastics, Daniel with his little toys (next year that is no longer allowed....serious lessons from then....he is only four, 30 septbember he will be five....grr, )

But something else; this mum is really happy because .....I lost five kilo's!!!! I am 64 kilo now.
1 april (and this is not a joke) I went for a new bikini's. Well, I'm not fat but I was not satisfied at all what I saw in the mirror. Dear me. I promised myself that I am going to try to lost some kilo's; the aim was 65 kilo's. After 2 and a half month; the result is an new mama!!!

I started to swimm twice a week and changed some things in my eatingpatern. And I do some belly-excercise'. You Know; I train my straight and oblique abdominal muscles. I do this every evening, ten minutes (after the children are sleaping).
First I had real muscle pain. Tjeah; I am fourty so I'm not so fitt like I was 30;).
But now, I really feel fit. And you know what; I feel 20 again. Ha  ha. And I and I fitt into an old skinny jeans again! I had the pants almost trown away.....
As a reward, I bought one really nice dress. I love my new self. Hi Hi.

But now I have to have discipline to consolidate my figure. And that is extreme hard work. Last week my oldest son had his 7th birthday. The whole week there were friends and of course; the chlidrenparty, last saturday. The day after that, yeasterday, I took a complete restday,you can imagine, or not?!
Yesterday, no excercises att all (my husband was also very tired) and we eat the last peace of cake, hooray!

This morning I went for my swimming and the water was really cold; In Holland, it is still no summer; 15 degrees up here...the result: After the swimm a took myself a warm cup of chocolate....

Well, enough chatting for today, my children are having a free afternoon; and you know what we are going to do: swimming in an warm swimmingpool (my oldest son has got 2 free tickets; Yes!!)
See you!

chilly mama!

Today I had a enorm good feeling about myself; I have rewritten an article and Yes; It is accepted now. It means my second article will be published in de september-edition of an nursing magazine.
And an another reason to make a party is the following:
My husband will keep his job; O dear, he was so stressed the last few months....and I was also, you can imagine!
Thus now I am cooking this heavently meal for him; pasta carbonara with bacon, a lot off mushrooms, real cream and this meal will be provided with the most tasty salad whith olives, cucumber, peterselie, little tomatoes....mmm. I have a nice Chilean red wine to make a toast. Ha ha.
I will suprise him, he is late this evening, cause he had an course.
The children are doing well also; Daniel will go to group 2, Njord will go to group 4; I'm so proud about my family!
Four more weeks to work and then....holidy-time.
Time to chill, chill, from morning to evening.
See you!
