I DID IT!!!!!!!!

Once again the Ice Princess took to the ice, bearing a little [ain and not doing anything too exciting I took to the Ice at St Albans temporary Ice rink, and it was lovely although a little scary with everyone falling all around me and having to dodge them, Nathaniel had a good go and even managed some time by himself.

So, now I just need to keep the pain at bay and try to muster up some enthusiasm to do some excersise and loose the 20lb I have gained since moving to the UK

Happy new year when it arrives

Eat, drink, be Merry???

So how many of you ate, how many of you drank and how many of you were merry.

We certainly had a mixture in our household this Christmas, and I tried to be all 3. But now I feel a tad "over-done"

So what detox are you doing, cause I need to be on it for a month,

Starting tomorrow I will be trying to go for a run every morning and go at least a mile and build up (see how I go) tomorrow I get my ice skates back on .......

I need to look at least a stone so need to get to work on that now not on tuesday, i feel huge and expanded but it could just be bloating.......

so.............................................................................good luck to you all for the challenge over the next week

so.......................................

who ate too much?? Who drank too much?? who had a fight?? who got a present they didn't like

I am sure all of us had about one of these things happen to us but hopefully it didn't hamper the day, despite the fact I didn't think I ate too much I still feel perfectly full (although I am still dreaming of sage and onion stuffing - my favourite)

Presents, food, drink and family galore, we had a lovely day and still managed to go to sleep at a reasonable time, mainly as we are in the travelodge and it is a bit boring to sit in the dark while we wait for Nathaniel to fall asleep and I actually think I dosed off before him as he was waiting on Simon going to sleep. Hence they are both still asleep and it is gone 8.30 am and I am typing this sitting on the toilet (with the lid down BTW) so I don't disturb them, being in a travelodge is a weird way to spend Christmas but allows us to be near my parents these holidays and were extremely inexpensive too,

So onto Boxing day, Simon doesn't want to eat again and Nathaniel is very impressed with santa although he has no clue who gave him what and he thanked me for his etcha sketch - although I reassured him "santa" bought it

Enjoy the sales if you dare to go out!!
