Having the sniffles and scratchy throat

Dec should be a time to take things slow and probably go on leave. But I'm having the sniffles and having a sore throat AGAIN!!! Been falling sick way too often this year. At first it was attributed to the little hours of sleep I clocked in due to work, the housework, cook and taking care of a baby and worse even get up to pump when Sophie was still young. But now that I no longer breastfeed her in the night and there is no more night pumping to do, you'll think I'll get more rest....

No...

Okay only myself to blame too because I'm still not sleeping earlier. Preferring to stay up, catch up on FB, twitter, emails, chats, updating her blogs, etc...

Gosh I really have got to learn to just REST.

Now that I'm sick and feeling awful I really should just crash on the bed. Else maybe get MC for tomorrow and look forward to my long leave.

December and counting

Finally we are in the month of December where the year end holiday mood sets in. Unfortunately on the work front, I'm still as busy and working just as hard. Sob sob. But as I have a weeks worth of leave, I have made plans to clear them off.

On my off days, I'm packed with plans to complete my Christmas shopping, go for my facial, celebrate hubby's birthday, attend Christmas parties and yes feast on all the yummylicious goodies like turkey, shepherds pie and maybe indulge in some sparkling bubbly too

And with so much feasting to come, I better get my act together and start getting active again. Recently I was complaining to Alexis that it's almost impossible for me to do any exercise especially on a weekday. By the time we get back from work it's dinner time and I have to prepare Sophie's dinner and have my dinner. Then proceed to bathe her and put her to sleep which should be around 10 plus. At that time I would have lost all motivation if not the will to even think about any exercise.

Good thing Alexis felt for me and agreed to help put Sophie to sleep. He used to do the bed time routine until she decided that she only wanted me to put her to sleep. But thank God, this time round she was not so fussy and so for the past 2 nights, Alexis has been tucking her to bed after her bottle of milk.

So no excuses for me now to skip my exercise. Also no excuses for me to sleep so late.

Now for a dose of discipline and motivation.
