For the background on what I’m doing and why, click here This week was the first week of the 3rd school term of the year. I am thankful that it wasn’t as chaotic as I predicted it would be! The Little Mister didn’t start school until the Wednesday, so I didn’t really begin my new healthier living plan until then. I felt like launching into new/better habits that day would be easier because I’d feel like there was a bit more structure and routine, which would help me to not fail before I’d even started! I had found myself to be psychologically preparing for the whole week before that. I…

Sporadic ‘Newsletter’: December 2018 edition.
Oh hey. I thought I’d revive this newsletter format (it’s been almost two years). How’s that for sporadic?! Nailed it haha. Basically, it’s a chance to write chatty little life updates. Things that have been on my mind. Things we’ve been up to. Whatever. You get the idea. I used to actually send out proper news-letters via email but I was a bit too lazy to keep it up regularly. This suits me better! Gosh, if you made it through that atrocious pre-amble, I applaud you. That’s how little I’m feeling my writing efforts lately. via GIPHY Selling stuff I don’t want anymore I’m trying to be more proactive in…

Taking Stock: March 2018
Sorry to say something so cliché but where the fuck has the year gone?? I had a baby in January and suddenly it’s Autumn and Easter is coming! Yesterday, the Little Miss turned 6 weeks old. Which makes it about a month since I blogged last! I’m stealing a little early morning time while I can and I am going to hope and pray to baby jeebus that this doesn’t end up in my drafts folder like the last blog post I attempted five weeks in haha. So, anyhow…I’m about to take stock, y’all. You probably know the drill. I do this every couple of months to capture a moment…

Kez Gets Physical: Week 8 Update
Well well well. I cannot believe it. The end of the school term is finally here! The Little Mister finishes tomorrow and it’s the holidays! I don’t know who is more excited. OK, it’s me. This also means that my super strict Kez Gets Physical mode relaxes a little until the school term begins again. You know, because life is short and Christmas is yummy and all that. In saying that, I have learned a lot during this term of better habits. I know that I don’t want to slack off and not exercise and eat carb heavy meals every day, even when I’ve told myself I don’t have to.…

Kez Gets Physical: Week 6 update.
Hello, hello. It’s that time of the week again! The time when I let you know how my efforts at healthier living have been progressing for the past 7 or so days. I’ve been eating a pretty low carb diet (it seems to suit me) and generally trying to be more active. I’ve been using the school term as a time based motivator. I figure there are more school days than holidays in a year, so being far more disciplined during the term seems like a good idea. It’s also a good time for me to keep my arse in line, because I have to live by a stricter routine…

Kez Gets Physical: Week 5 update.
Hello, peeps! I’m checking in for the fifth week in a row, to let you know how I’m tracking with my healthy living efforts. I’m glad I’m recording this stuff, because I want to be able to remember that all of this was actually possible, after I’d convinced myself over the past few years that it wasn’t. Here’s where I’m at… Look, I had a few setbacks in the weight loss department during week 4 and it was a little disheartening. I can only put it down to my cycle (and I am not talking about bike riding) and fluid retention. I felt yucky and bloated too, despite eating all the…

Kez Gets Physical: An update.
So last month (on the 11th of March), I set myself a challenge. The challenge was to control my dinner portions (I have a habit of overeating at dinner time) and to exercise properly at least every second day. The point of the challenge was to take a month or so to reset myself and get into a routine with better habits. Habits I can take forward with me for as long as possible (no ‘quick fix’ fads here). While right now is probably not the best time to check in with you guys (I’ve just got back from living large in Sydney and now it’s my ‘birthday week’ where…

I’ve moved…kind of.
image source Hey, everybody. It’s been quite the week for this little old blog here. Guess what?! We’re self hosted now, y’all. If you have no idea what I’m on about, don’t worry. That kind of makes two of us. Trust me. I have learnt some things this week, I tell ya. Basically, it means this space is all mine now. ALL MINE. Mu ha ha. Who knows what further mischief I can get up to now? I hope it’s not too much trouble to ask you all to make sure that you are subscribing to… http://awesomelyunprepared.com and that the links you have for me are all up to date!…

It’s been one week.
Great. I wrote that post title and now I have a Barenaked Ladies song stuck in my head. Serves me right. Please tell me you get the obscure 90s music reference. Can you believe the 90s were like 20 years ago? I keep thinking it’s only been a decade, but nope. Old. I still can’t understand that there are adults walking among us who were born in the 90s. SO OLD. But I am getting SO distracted. *ahem* So, it’s been about a week since I brought my baby home. My treadmill baby that is. And I couldn’t be happier! I didn’t name her Charlotte (OMG she so needs a…

So, what’s been happening? April-May 2014.
Some of you may be familiar with these sporadic, “what we’ve been up to lately” posts. I write them to remind myself of precisely that, in the hopes that when people ask me I will actually have an answer and not just an awkward, “not much…you?” While my life isn’t overly exciting (I haven’t trekked Everest or saved any orphan dolphins lately), it is full. So here goes… (and please try to ignore the fact that I last did a March-April post and that it overlaps with April-May and I will try to get everything in order at some point but truly who cares because it’s my blog haha) Easter.…
