Kaboutjie SA Mommy Blogs by Lynne Huysamen
It’s been a bit of a quiet week behind the scenes 01 April 2022. My kids got came home from my parents on Sunday and we have been having lazy days at home before school starts next week. I’ve been doing puzzles, reading, and taking it easy for a change With school starting next week I will have a chance to catch on work again.
Weight Loss – Normal BMI
On Wednesday I was so happy to step on the scale and find that my weight had finally shifted from 73kgs to 70.7kgs. I was losing weight slowly but steadily until I reached 73kgs then for a whole month it was just not shifting even though I was continuing to do all the right things. What a pleasure to see that pay off.
When I checked the BMI calculator online I saw that for the first time in 6+ years I was in the healthy weight category. I only just made it since if my weight had been 70.8kgs I would have still been in the overweight category.
It has been a long battle over the years to lose weight so this has been a massive achievement. I have now lost 12kgs since last year.
And now my scale has gone on the blink. I’m not sure if it needs a new battery or if I need a new scale.

Mediterranean Flat Bread With Paprika Chicken, Yoghurt and Mint Pesto
In February I took part in the Bestmed Medical Scheme virtual cook off with Tumi Mogoai to make Mediterranean flar bread with paprika chicken, yoghurt and mint pesto. It came out beautifully. Unfortunately straight after that event I got severely ill with a tummy bug and I’ve struggled to catch up on work since, so I only managed to publish the recipe on my website this week.
However, the timing worked out perfectly since I received a thank you gift this week from Bestmed Medical Scheme so I got to open it during my live video and share the recipe at the same time!
It’s My Birthday Tomorrow
Tomorrow I turn 43 and I have to admit I am really loving my 40’s. I’m having a very small celebration with my sister in law and friend, and our families. Remember all the awesome veggies I got from the farm recently? Well we are making soup from those veggies and some homemade bread – such awesome comfort food.
I wish you all a fantastic weekend!
Happy belated birthday Lynne.
Im on my first week of maternity leave, Im almost 39 weeks preg now, we sit and wait for the special arrival.
Thank you for the birthday wishes Natatsha! And enjoy your maternity leave, not long to go now!
Congrats on the weightloss! And happy belated birthday!
Thank you Kim. Just bought a new battery for my scale and its not the battery #FacePalm. I will just continue with what I’m doing and weigh myself when I get a chance to buy a new scale.
The topics you have on your blog have been very informative. Thank you for sharing these tips. Even your Friday live streams are interesting. Thanks for everything you do.
I’m so glad you are enjoying my posts and live videos <3
I’m so happy for you a real inspiration, always give us something to look forward to just love your post keep it up and belated happy birthday 🤗
I’m so glad you enjoyed my post. I can’t update on my weight since last week Wednesday since my scale broke – I need to buy a new one today!
Congrats on your weight loss! I watched your video a few weeks ago where you said you had got stuck and weren’t losing weight anymore so it is good to see that your weight is going down again now. I need to lose weight and often go down a bit then get stuck at that weight. Then I lose motivation.
