Me - Plain & Simple

Me - Plain & Simple. This sentence came to me last night when I was washing the dishes. I am embarking on a journey today to improve my life and wanted to document it and thought a little blog may be the way. This heading summed up the direction of this blog quite well and I thought - why not?? It is not a description of me personally, just a description of what I hope to make this blog. An account of my journey with no 'fluff'!

So here it is. I am a mother of 2 beautiful daughters (2 1/2 & 8 weeks old). I have a wonderful husband and live in a nice house (nothing flash but more than I expected years ago).

So my journey is a journey to improve myself. To lay it out 'plain & simple' I eat too much junk food, I watch too much tv, I spend too much time on Facebook, I am lazy and I do not do enough housework (because of the tv and facebook!!). So today is the start of trying to improve that and find 'the balance'. I have weight to lose but being that I have an 8 week old I am not pressuring myself to lose the weight quickly but I do want to be healthier for my girls.

So the plan....
1) Eat healthier (duh!) - no takeaway!! If I have to make it healthy, sandwiches or sushi :-)
2) Watch less TV - really most of it is crap anyway! LOL
3) Log off Facebook and don't check it every half hour.
4) Get off my butt!! I now have a cross trainer and give myself the goal of 20 minutes 3 times a week - this is achievable :-)
5) Take pride in my home. As hard as it is with a 2 1/2 year old - if I spend less on watching tv and on Facebook I have more time to keep the house tidy and then hopefully can enjoy some time doing what I really want to do - SEW!! I have a little facebook page (www.facebook.com/SewnByToffee) and am really keen to get going with it again. Obviously spending time with my family is priority number 1 but I also need to find time for me :-)

So this is my journey and if I have any followers in the future I am sorry if I bore you but this is going to be 'Me - Plain & Simple'!!
