Samstag

i´ve been thinking

that i just do not have enough time to do this thing bilingual. between the teenager, the toddler-twins and the sweet three month old, the house, the yard and last not least the best husband of all (not to mention my slight internet-adiction ähem...) there is just not enough time. i am streched thin as it is.

speaking of streched thin, this is exactly my goal this remaining 3/4 year. i want to shed the kilos. since i never posted a pic of me, you just have to use your imagination. i am obese. that was not so hard now, was it?
since i am just that and i do not want to be just that anymore, i started to cut out most of the fats in our diet and replaced all sugar 2 month ago with xylith.
let me tell you, the hardest thing was to SAY NO to coca cola. because that was what i have been drinking all    the    time. when i have not been drinking tea or coffee, that is. i know, i know. it is not good to take that many sugar calories in. but oh, it tastes so good.
since i absolutely can not stand diät coke - not for the life of me, it is so icky sweet i feel my gums puckering just by thinking of it, plus i absolutely hate the taste of aspartam - i am surviving now with pepsi light and sweet tea without sugar. well in der not ist der teufel fliegen...

in the last 2 weeks have "lost" 12 pounds. sounds nice, but if your my size that is so utterly peanut-like, i think it will take 40 pounds till anyone notices...

enough with the pity talk. i am really looking forward to the next 12 pounds!!

time

sometimes i just can´t fathom how much time indeed flies. i know that this saying is so overused it´s seriously battered and bruised but it is oh so true nonetheless.

my sweet baby girl is now 12 weeks old. three months she lives in this world and means exactly that to me. she is sweet and smiley, a real good eater and until 2 days ago a real good sleeper too. now her sleeping is a bit off which exausts me to no end. i am a walking dead right now, but who am i to complain when i get too look at her face and she smiles this oh so engaging giggle smile back at me, her blessed mama.
