Lemon Tarts and Weight Loss

Yum! Photos of the lemon tart I made today: 6 Weight Watcher ProPoints ®

Mmmm Lemony tart in all it's sweet, divine, yummy, goodness! Just the mere thought makes my mouth salivate. 

Well it's no secret, I piled on the kilos while pregnant with Miss [almost] 2, and I've joined Weight Watchers in a last ditch effort to move the "flab-dominals"! All I can say is, I'm loving the ProPoints® system!

My birth-mother and I re-visiting the town I was born in, and celebrating our 8 years of reunion. Note: Me uber skinny back then. {sigh}

The photo above was taken only 3 weeks prior to falling pregnant with Miss [almost] 2 - not bad for a 28 year old mother of two? Back then I frequented the gym, but now that money is tight we just can't afford that luxury anymore.

Ideally, I'd love to lose most of the extra weight before Miss [almost] 2's 2nd birthday, at the end of May. I don't expect to lose all of the weight by then, but I'd like to be past the half-way mark. So far I've lost 3.5 kilograms, only 13.1 kilos to go!

So I have 8 weeks, 5 days, and counting, until Miss [almost] 2 has her birthday... so wish me luck.

Anyway, getting back to the point at hand.
