This time of year is great for seeing family and catching up with friends but it can also be hard work. Take me for example. I am hosting my very first Christmas. The in laws arrive today and the house is looking spic and span. All you can smell is cleaning products and everything is sparkling. Sitting at the table eating my breakfast I look up and notice that our kitten is jumping around in puddles. The washing machine sprung a leak and there was water gushing everywhere. Only saving grace is that we have mainly tiles everywhere and there was a massive pile of sheets and doona covers waiting to be washed which were then used to soak up the water. Man talk about stressful.. lol…
The other thing that is hard with this time of year is watching what you eat and drink. I haven’t had a drop of alcohol since 24th November. I know this because it was our friends 30th. I probably wont have any for a long time either. Food wise though I cant say I have been as good. I am not beating myself up terribly about it. I mean I know what is right and wrong like we all do. I don’t need some skinny thing saying to me “Should you be eating that?” I know this because of course the answer is always no I shouldn’t be.
This Christmas my goals are too:
Not have seconds
Drink water at every opportunity
Not eat for the sake of it
Try things that I want but only little bits rather than gorging later
Be a good host and make sure everyone has fun!
