Week 9 Of My Weight-Loss Journey!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
This week’s weigh-in brings me to Week 9 of this journey.
I don’t have anything amazing to report this week other than my walk on the treadmill the other night.
I nearly doubled my usual slow speed and actually worked up a decent sweat! Ewwww GROSS!!!
But nonetheless, it must have been worth it because I stepped on my Wii Fit Board this morning, and I had lost another 600grams. Yey!!!
I was also a little taken aback when I [...]

Menu Planner-Planning 2 Weeks Of Meals At Once-With FREE PRINTABLE PLANNER
Written by commonchaoschronicle
I am trying a new approach in the meal planning department.
In the past I have shopped each week and planned for one week at a time.
About a month ago, I went to the supermarket and did a HUGE grocery shop, picking up a few bargains along the way. When I got home and wrote out a list of the meals I could make, I ended up with 22 days worth of dinners.
So I got to thinking….. (LOL, my [...]

This is my first link up with Yay for home’s blog. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that I am actually doing it right.

The upside-down nightly bed invader….

Week 7 and 8 Of My Weight-Loss Journey.
Written by commonchaoschronicle
This week I am combining week 7 & week 8 in the one blog post as I ran out of time last week to let you all know how I went.
WEEK 7.
This week was by far my biggest ‘stuff up’ week. Looking back, there weren’t just a few things that I would’ve changed, there were several things that I was disappointed in.
And I think I know why….
I was mentally and physically exhausted. Too tired to cook, to tired to plan, [...]

Chaos Cooks – Recipe Of The Week – Honey Mustard Chicken
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Here is how I do my super quick and easy Honey Mustard Chicken & White Rice.
It is a very popular dish in our house, as it’s easy to make and easy for the kids to eat.
I am not a fancy cook, I do the basics to get a meal on the table each night. I’ve tried elaborate plating up of meals, but it has never worked for us, so meals like this are a godsend!
I do cook in bulk, we [...]

Get Your Children To Clean Their Rooms – Printable Chart
Written by commonchaoschronicle
After the success of my printable housework chart, which you can find here, I started to wonder if I could use a similar strategy on my children to get them to clean their bedrooms up.
I mean, a simple tick chart has allowed me to become more ‘clean up conscious’, so this past week I have trialed a new chart for my kids.
AND IT HAS WORKED WONDERFULLY!!!
OK, here’s what we did.
The Tidiest Bedroom Chart!

Written by commonchaoschronicle
Has anyone ever heard the term ‘Suicide Music’ before?
According to my father in law, the music of my generation, the grunge/90′s rock era is nothing but noise that makes you suicidal.
Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Veruca Salt & Silverchair just to name a few…
I have a real issue with his statement, especially because he too was once a musician and I would hope, understand the power and strength that music can give a person. His [...]

Week 6-The Unexpected Loss-My Weightloss Journey!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Week 6!!!! Already??? I can’t believe it. I know I live a rather busy life, but these last 6 weeks have just flown by.
In the past I would have been counting the days of a ‘diet’ much more than the calories and steps or anything else in it. Every time I tried to lose weight my life became more and more miserable, I enjoyed nothing and ended up QUITTING!!!
So what am I doing so differently [...]

What Makes me Tick – Part 1
Written by commonchaoschronicle
This isn’t an easy post for me to write. I don’t think it’s ever easy to write solely from the heart. But I’m going to give it my best shot!
What makes me tick- Part 1.
I believe that everything that happens in your life, shapes you to some extent. Whether it be the simplest little things or a life changing event. Somewhere in the back of your mind, it’s had an affect on who you are.
