It´s sanni-licious

[Please scroll ↓ down for my Wordless Wednesday entry]

Barb over at Skittles´Place left me this award at her blog yesterday. She said my weight-loss is an inspiration.

I never expected to inspire anyone by posting about my “after pregnancy weight-loss journey”. Far from it! I thought the “tiny little pressure” of a weightloss ticker and writing about my diet would help me (and only me) to stay on the right track. It helped… I lost 144lb from April 2006 till October 2007. Some was lost by sports, some other by diet, change of eating-habits, some thanks to CD *yikes* and lots was water (pregnancy gestosis).

Most of you know I´m pregnant again. The little girl, code name “Hamster 2.0″, is due in 17 weeks and one day. I´ve gained a few lb so far… Have you ever had the feeling food is calling your name??? Especially those things you normally don´t like too much… like chocolate? Well, that´s not funny ;)

However, I´m a bit chicken-hearted about the upcoming 17 weeks… there are a few edemas in the morning, but I already wonder how I´ll feel after these 17 weeks.

Whatever might happen - I´m sure I´ll make it again… and keep you updated - with another (more or less) huge weight loss journey - and if it helps someone else… I´ll be more than happy!

Thank you so much, Barb - from the bottom of my heart. I am so deeply honored you gave this badge to me, especially because I´m in such a great company (!!!) and because it was you who gave it to me. The Queen of INSPIRATION - a true survivor! Thank you ♥

Now for the “spread the love”-part:

Many people out there inspire me… and I like to pick the following:

- Sandee @ Comedy+ - she definitely never fails to put a huge smile on my face. I admire her sense of humor. She´s a true inspiration.

- Maria @ BAAAHHH!!! - she and that little sheep remind me to hold on to my dreams. They might come true.

- Misty Dawn @ Misty´s Words & Misty´s Musings - Her daily musings and unbelievable photos inspire me every day. That girl is one in a million!

And now…

recent coffee breaks: I´m sure this went over well with the old lady (WW)
