DIY project: my first dino
Hi Frenchies, this is a new sort of posts I want to develop this year. I’ve always like making things but most of the time I’m unsecure about my ability to make things so I don’t start. I want to change that so I’ve decided to start. My first DIY is a funny dino bear. I’ve found it in Simply Naaien from July 2015. I started this project in November and I finished it last weekend. I have to say it was not as easy as I thought it would be. And here is the result: I know it’s not perfect (far from it) but I made it myself,…

Weigh in Tuesday- week 3 2016
HI Frenchies, My apologies for my abscence last week, life happened. I also was a bit sick. I’m still looking how to deal with lifestyle changes and the changes in the Weight Watchers program. I also have a bit of trouble finding and keeping my motivation. Past week I did another cross fit session and it suits me. Now I have to keep it going. As a result of my lower commitment I only lost 300 gr. Even with this small loss I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin. I hope and pray to (re)find my spirit and getting what I aim for. I see a lot of inspirations…

Weigh in Tuesday- week 51
Hi Frenchies, Welcome to (I think) my last weigh-in would be for 2015. It’s been a while since I have posted an update. Just like for many of you, the last month of the year seems to be a busiest one of the year!l My father came to visit us for Saint Nicholas and stayed for a few days. We were all pleased to see him as his last visit was in august. Nathan was delighted to play with his French grandpa. Last week, my sister-in-law and her husband, H and me went to Amsterdam to see the play Anne, based on Anne Frank’s diary. We had a very nice…

Weigh in Tuesday- week 47
Hi Frenchies, A week has passed, a bit of a sad week. As many of you know the world has become a little dark the past week. Although I’m not leaving in France anymore it still touches me a lot, not only for all the sadness for the french people but also for the world in general. I didn’t have a very good feeling about my weigh in today. My past week was not a perfect one. I ate more than I planned and I wasn’t as active as I planned either. I feel I have become better in the choices I made. I could have made even better…
