Love, bubs and life on our little farm

So.. I was watching Oprah the other day (yes I am a stay at home mum currently - how did you guess!) and they were challenging people to give up soft drinks for health and weight loss.

Now I am a bit of a health freak and we dont drink soft drink - in fact we barely drink anything other than water which is always awkward for when guests drop in! BUT since I started breastfeeding and looking after a bub through the night - I suddenly found that I just had to have a glass of ginger beer with dinner. I craved the sugar - it was an instant pick me up (I gave up coffee about 5 years ago and have since replaced the caffeine crave with wanting sugar instead). So for the last 7 months I have been drinking a glass a night.

Oprah got me thinking and I decided I didn't need that crutch of sugar anymore - Elka is sleeping through the night and I get more sleep than I ever did working. So about a week and a half ago, I gave up my dinner ginger beer and changed to soda water.

Yesterday I noticed how loose my shorts were - I went and weighed myself this morning and I have lost 2kgs in 1.5 weeks! Well there you go! Thank you Oprah! I wasn't really trying to loose weight, I just wanted to be healthier but hey I will take it ;)

Heres to healthy eating! (Had to share my gorgeous boy Ferdie!)
