| Flight was great,flight attendants were going crazy over the girls,especially Gintare. They put their beds in after take off,we plopped them right in,bottle in hands and started drinking:Andrew his double vodkas and I was enjoying nice champagne. Girls fell asleep no problems,Gintare whined a bit but then she was gone. Food was nothing to write home about,I hope for better meals on the flight from Paris. Continue reading Our first Europe trip with twins So let me tell you…It is exhausting! No wonder families post-pone it until two and three years. It takes a lot of time and a lot of persistence. I wanted to give up in the past few days several times…But I didn’t and now –Gintare does her “business”within minutes. Allegra is a bit complicated,but we shall concur it. How are we doing it? The minute they wake up,I try to take them to the potty. One at a time,or I leave the “quieter”one on the potty while I go grab my Numero Dos. It’s easier trying to hold her over the grown up toilet. I made a big mistake of purchasing only one potty. Take note –TWINS NEED TWO potties. The I just try to put them on the potty 10-20 minutes after they drink any fluids,after they wake up from their naps and after they have their meals. So basically it comes out,that we are in the bathroom going psss-psss-psss and achhhhh-ahhhh-ahhh every 30 minutes. I have no life… As I toss out yet another container from leftovers that once house a Japanese lunch,I sigh. Every single container restaurants use are P6 that my city does not recycle.
Previously,I used to just keep them to house my food at home and for storage. Then I read an article that this type of plastic leaches dangerous chemicals and it’s better to just toss it into the garbage. Ohh,so what can a greeny and a foody do? Until restaurants minimize their portions (which ultimate what needs to happen),or start using expensive compostable dishes,should we just bring our own carry out containers with us as we patronage our favorite restaurants? We all got into the habit of carried our own shopping bags to the stores. Why can’t we grab one or two containers as we leave our house for a restaurant meal? I lost count of diets I have tried. First one beginning around middle school,maybe grade 6. I remember few of my classmates commenting on my tummy. I can still see the picture of it in my mind. In those days I thought,I was above fat jokes. Most of “funny”tummy comments were met with a smile and a brushed of with a joke. Looking back,I can see that my relationship with food started that early,when I tried to eat crackers for a day. Needless to say,that didn’t work. With all my GERD problems,dieting wasn’t for me. Continue reading My Food philosophy
So after reading the Skinny Bitch,I became a vegan. Literally,after reading the first chapter. However,after I became pregnant,everything with the name tofu was making me crazy,so I had to give up tofu sour cream and cheese. And thus,a vegetarian was born. I thought,if I am vegetarian,that will automatically make me thinner. Alas,something did happen,but not the change in my weight. All my health issues disapeared. Like GERD,stomach pains,etc. And now,that I am battling the worst weight gain ever (all the fat left over from the twins),I decided that drastic measures are in order. I am going out all public in my journey of loosing weight and getting my pre-preggo body back. Continue reading My Idea about Eating
Enter the teething period. If my will power has been extinct prior to today,now it’s not even a memory. It lives only in my blog. Show me a mom that can survive 3,4 and 5 AM screaming contest between twins,then manages to wake in the morning refreshed,ready for a spinning class. Not me. I down 2 cups of coffee int he row,bite on cheese crumbs falling of the high chairs and decide to cry to my blog on how my eyes hurt. I challenge thee to a match –spinning class! The idea of the blog came to me while suffering on a spinning bike at the gym. I couldn’t get rid of the thought that there have to be more women punishing themselves with diets and exercise just to feel better. I couldn’t stop thinking of how hard it is to fight oneself to get going to the gym. How hard it is to put down the second glass of wine or leave champagne bottle alone. I figured that by writing and sharing,perhaps my self control will miraculously appear and pat me on the back. So join me on my journey to getting my body back,my self esteem in check,and my life organized. | We have been nominated! Please Vote! You have to register but it’s FREE! |
