Let the countdown begin, only 7 weeks to Christmas!

Diwali bit adios a few weeks back in October, November is pretty boring with only Children’s Day. The festive withdrawal symptoms reached their peak today. I opened the calendar and counted the number of weeks until Christmas, our very next festive adrenal dose! Only seven weeks left until Christmas, that is exactly what I have been telling myself to keep me in a decent mood if not chirpy.

To keep myself upbeat and not give in to my mood swings I have decided to go on a self-reward program, something to keep me busy and motivated as well. I have bought myself a very very very (you get the degree) pretty outfit for Christmas. It is a red peplum dress that I recently purchased, however the catch is that it is a size smaller than the one I currently wear.

I have a fantastic Christmas party to attend. I have wanted to get in shape for a while now, what better way to pass these seven weeks fast and still keep adding to the thrill of the festivities. I have decided to eat healthy and get fitter everyday as my motivation hangs in my wardrobe. I went a little ahead of myself and to constantly remind me of my goal I have bought a fried egg in a frying pan wall clock from giftease.com, I even bought a “do or die” poster for my desk and then I felt it was a little to hard so to compensate bought another poster, but a Marilyn Monroe one, positive inspiration.

 I have an attention span of a gold fish, which is probably a second; to keep me motivated is a tough job, as the only thing gets my undivided attention is FOOD, yes I love food absolutely everything that tastes nice and is rich and unfortunately very fattening. This time I am determined, so instead of ogling at fancy menu cards and looking up food reviews I use my lunch break to have healthy food followed by a piece of Jus trufs sugarfree Belgium chocolate as a small motivation and treat after lunch and the remaining time I use to shop and keep myself prim and constantly feel good. I even straightened my hair this morning with my new Braun hair straightener that I bought online at a discount; three days back during my lunch break.

This Christmas I am gifting love, confidence, appreciation, good health and happiness to myself. I hope you will also use these seven weeks to give your self a gift of Love, in whatever form that may be. Be your own Santa Claus.
