SUNDAY AND NOT LONG TO XMAS

Well a very busy weekend. I have actually caught up on some cleaning - like cupboards, drawers, etc that I never seem to get around to. I finally put up the Xmas tree today so now it really feels like Xmas - wrapped two Xmas presents and went through all the bits and pieces that I buy throughout the year and I have quite a few presents there - so I am not as unorganised as I first thought:
I have nine small children coming to my house on Xmas day with all the attached adults so I thought I better get my tree up and all my wonder Xmas decorations out. I feel like a big kid - I just love to see the faces on the kids as they open their presents.
Well yesterday food was good until our work Xmas party - we have 31 staff so that means approx 6o people to our party. We have it catered for and all the food was home made - not pre-packed purchased food. So the homemade sticky date with caramel sauce and pavlova could not be missed - as a matter of fact I couldn't resist and I had two serves - naughty naughty but hey as everyone says it is Xmas :) - Just remember ladies I am maintaining - well I was point one of my maintenance number last week but if you knew all the parties I have been to that is pretty bloody good for this chicky babe :). I ate clean food all day today until I went to the supermarket to get the groceries - jolly they are dear arnt' they - anyway I thought I would buy my hubby a treat and I got one of those bags of mixed choc coated sultanas and nuts and told myself that I was strong enought that I would not have any. Well as I have been saying it is Xmas so yes I couldn't help myself. Our fridge is full of different sorts of chocolate all the time and I don't really like any of them but I do love plain choc and choc coated nuts and sultanas so lots of cardio this week with clean eating and the gym. I have a wedding to go to in Wollongong this week - we are leaving Thursday going to Sydney to an appointment on the way and then back home Sat or Sunday to get ready for Xmas. Hope by dress fits - I must try it on :)

Ok I should be ironing but I am procrastinating so best go and get a start on it. I have an 8 o'clock appointment so will try and get to bed early so I can go for a 5:00am walk.

Live with Passion
