The new lean, mean and hyper fit Mrs Hammond has declared war on the snacking culture in our house and nobody is safe! Gone are the days when we can veg out in front of the telly with a good snack. All comestibles consumed from now on have to be eaten in the dining room. This is to combat two things: the constant barrage the sofa gets (note Mrs Hammond has been after a new sofa for a number of months and I am sure this new rule if sustained will aid her cause!) and the real concern we have that Lucy is putting on weight. Having hibernated for the whole winter, Lucy has become accustomed to sedentary activities and we are trying to encourage a more healthy lifestyle. After three days of the new family rule being in place, there have been several rows, tantrums and a couple of lovely family meals! A perfect example of this inactivity is we all spent the day sorting the kitchen and utility room on Saturday for about six hours and then realised that Lucy had been in the living room chilling for the whole time. When asked what she had been up to, she stated that she had got up to go to the toilet and platted some pipe cleaners! I rest my case! I have so much love for Lucy and I do not want her to go through the same struggles with her weight as I do and for her to experience how that makes me feel...Tuesday, 16 April 2013
Mutiny in the Hammond house!

Stay strong, skip ropes and star jumps. That is the regime in our house! George has the jump rope bug from being made to do it daily at school. He gets quite puffed. If it is good enough for boxers then it's good enough for our kids. They were whinging one day so I made an assault course through the house. Over chairs, under tables, star jumps here, forward roll there. up stairs slide down bannisters. They loved it and now any rainy day is assault course. When they said it was too easy then we had to make them do it again immediately. They soon got tired :0-) Very commendable of you both. Hope all works out well for you guys. Really hope we might be able to come across to Norfolk and meet this summer when we are back. cheers
