Pot O' Gold

There are a few new addition to my parents household Darcy and a young mother and her baby Laura and Lacey-Mae.

Laura has decided to do her own photo album for Lacey so I just have to start a scrapbook for Darcy.

For a change I decided to do a 8.5 x 11 album.

Darcy is the same age as Amelia give a week or two so I feel sorry for my mam on days when she has both!!

I have been in visioning this Layout in my head for months and quite pleased with way it turned out.

Papers are just blue and green A4 letter paper.

The photos are 1 - 4x6" and 2 - 3x4"

I am not so happy with the embellishments as I had to print then from the Internet so they are not fantastic! I don't have a cricut cartridge which does St.Patrick's day theme which would of been better.

These photos are not from St.Patricks day but with the rainbow on her t-shirt, being taken in March and how I wanted to express how special she was it just came into my head "Pot 'o Gold".

Me and Adam have became very close to Darcy and she absolutely adores Adam, she even has a look of him we are thinking of adopting her if she does not go back to her mother. As some of you know I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and we have been trying for a baby for about 6 years now! The Doctors are useless and just keep saying loose weight and come back with PCOS its a vicious circle as it so hard to loose weight as you body is always producing more sugar than it should which turns to fat! I am sick of making myself miserable trying to loose weight!

Sorry for the rant on there and so many pictures I was just chuffed with the LO :-)

Happy Easter everyone.



New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year All!! OMG it is 2010!

My New Year Resolutions
#1 Weight Loss
#2 Get Pregnant
#3 Be more Organised
#4 Start to plan Wedding - aiming for Summer 2011

What are yours??

So I started my diet today :-( not good as I didn't get any sleep last night either and I am horrible without either (so my work colleagues tell me). I mention diet and they all say "Oh No! keep away from Sam" and they just throw random bits a fruit at me hehe!

Seriously thou I am haha, I love my food but I really want a baby more!! This is my new years resolution to loose weight so the Doctors will give me IVF (I've got PCOS - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Me and my fiance have been trying on and off for about 5 years with no luck!

I have started seeing a dietitian and get weighed each month and she has put me on Xenical (Orlistat) weight loss tablets the side affects aren't the best but they seem to be working. I lost a little bit before Christmas started and then tins of Roses and Quality Streets started to work their way into my office. Major sucker for Chocolate or anything with Sugar in!

Anyone know where I can buy some will power?

So I got out of bed 6am this morning even though I hadn't been asleep walked the dog for half an hour then went to work. I work in an office on computers (HP) I never really take a break so I don't leave my desk for 7.5 ish hours. I really need to get a step counter thing and walk about the office a bit more. Humm I might do that! Finished work walked the dog again for another half hour came in and did 50 sit ups LOL!! I haven't done sit ups in ages and my stomach is killing me! I might try and do another 50 before bed.

I bought a Cross Trainer last year I used it like 5 times - its now in the cupboard. I think I will ask Adam to get it out for me and I will alternate between sit ups and 20 mins on there each night until I can gradually do more.

Today I weight 15 Stone = 210lbs
My BMI is 33.9 the Doctor will not treat me until my BMI is under 30!

My aim is to cut out as much "Crap" as I can and eat alot more fruit/veg

Wish me luck!!
