*Molly Weasley's voice* Where HAVE You Been???!?!?!

Ermergerdddd it's been over a month since I updated!!! D= It has been absolutely mental oriental though! I've been too preoccupied and then tired by other activities in the evenings to write my blog, instead I have been reading The Hunger Games saga and writing up a kind of synopsis to my film project idea thing I had many moons (or 4) ago lol 

 Getting my Nerd on, writing!

I have also been trying new foods as I was getting bored of the same meals I've been cooking, despite this, my weight loss seems to have hit a brick wall, been up and down and all sorts for the last month now, it's coming off a lot slower than it was! But now that Sprog has been going back to nursery, since last Thursday, I've had the time to start going to the gym again (can't remember the last time I went.... Woops...) and also catch up on housework! I really struggle to stay completely on top, besides doing the bare minimum when Sprog's at home all day, as she wants me to spend all the time with her playing, and I start something, then she grabs my hand and says "come on Mummy!" and I say I can't and then I feel bad so I go join in with her for a few minutes, then try to get back to it, then it's back and forth all day, then I'm exhausted and poor Sprog is fed up! :( 

 Slimming World Healthy Extra pancakes, made with wheaty biscuits...


 Felt really good this day, lost 2lbs for that week!



 Latest health fad is fruit infused water! I refill this at least once a day, plus have other drinks too :)

We've had some lovely mini adventures though! One day after SW for instance, we went to the park then to The Waterfall (as Sprog calls it, it's actually a Spoonies in a business and leisure park, where there's a fountain and a couple of little waterfalls, and ducks!) for some lunch instead of straight home, for a change! Then one Saturday, there were all Princess Mum and Daughter activities going on in the shopping centre in town; we met Princess Rosie and had our picture taken with her, then we stood in front of a magic mirror to choose a magical outfit (it was basically a giant camera screen thing that superimposed clothes on us!). Another Saturday, there was a lady doing face painting in town centre, Sprog wanted to be a green butterfly! The lady twisted her arm in to having a couple of other colours too! Teehee I think she's the most beautiful butterfly ever :D

My beautiful butterfly :')

Princesses Sprog, Mummy and Rosie! :D

Having fun in the park!

The duckies at The Waterfall! :)

My Scentsy business has also slowed down a bit, well until a couple of weeks ago anyways when a fabulous friend C booked a party with me! It's this coming Friday! Hooray!!! I have had one or two other orders, but haven't submitted as it's £9 shipping, and split between 2 customers is a bit much :( if I get £150 of orders, shipping is free!

So a couple of weeks ago, it was also Mother's Day, and being the single mummy that I am, my mum has taken it upon herself over the last few years to buy me a gift on Sprog's behalf, however, this year was different! And owing to how well things have been going on handovers, and in general terms, Sprog and her daddy bought me a lovely humungous card and prezzie (and ridiculously huge sized gift bag!) :D I'm a little bit nervous (and maybe teensy bit excited too) as Sprog will be having her first sleepover at her nana's house with her daddy on Friday! She's dead excited, and I'm sure she'll have an absolute whale of a time, but I am going to miss her an insane amount! Especially as it's our first night apart, aside from the 4 nights in 2.5 years where she's stayed with the rents! I'll get her back Saturday though, and I have a friend from uni staying the weekend too, so I won't be home totally alone, which is nice! :)

 My Mother's Day gifts ^_^

Gonna refer back to the first section of this post, about going to the gym, now that Sprog is settled in to her new nursery, and still seeing her daddy every Tuesday, I have no excuse to not go to the gym (or pool) at least twice a week! I will be alternating between 2 and 3 workouts a week, of which one of my days is a Wednesday when I have weigh ins- the weeks where I work out 3 times a week, I will go weigh in, then hit the gym, the other weeks I will stay to the IMAGE therapy meetings after I've weighed! :) Also this week, as Sprog is in nursery or with daddy for 6 days, I have challenged myself to work out 4 times this week! I've been 2 days this week so far (Mon and today) will skip gym tomorrow to stay to SW meeting, then gym Thur and Fri, and if possible, even Saturday morning too! I WILL fit size 10-12 clothes before the year is out!!!!

Oooh another new thing is that F and I both enrolled on an online Level 2 Makeup Artistry course! I'll keep you updated on that! And I just today applied to a vlogging thing for mums... Hehe soooo much going on! :D

I shall leave it there now, as time is getting on, and we need to be up early to take Sprog to her first full day at nursery tomorrow for 8! Thankfully, it's a 5 minute walk away, not like the 20 minute bus ride that had to be caught an hour before nursery starts like how it used to be....! Here's another nice pic of Sprog and me, I love this one :')

 Best Friiieeeeeennnndddsssss :'D

Thanks for reading! I'll try not to leave it so long again this time..... Hehehe xXx
