54 sleeps till xmas!

Well it's only 54 sleeps till the big fat guy comes.

Presents, cheer, food, drink, holidays, food, drink, summer, food , drink and did I mention food and drink!!!

So with 54 sleeps until christmas it is time to stop making any plans for the rest of the year, right???

Cause you can't do anything in 54 days!

Why bother, just start in the new year when you can think about stuff betterer, right?

Cause you can't possibly fathom a new idea or goal in a month and a half - it just wouldn't fit in!

PS I am being sarcastic.

WHY DO WE HIT THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE YEAR IS OVER???

No more people wanting to get fit,

no more "I want to lose x amount of kilos" in some unreasonable time frame

no more I want to do something amazing this week.

Nothing!

Until of course,

after christmas - when everything calms down

Because life will be easy in the new year,

there will be no hassles, no bills, no kids, no dramas...

Wow I can't wait for this whole new year thing to happen- it's sounds great!!!

PS - Sarcastic again!!!

Here's my kick in the butt for you all...

Do something amazing this month

and leave the excuse of "It's too close to christmas to do anything" to the people who live in the fairy tale world of the problem-free new year!!!

Tell me what your something amazing is???

Correction to recipe ...

Should be "chopped mint" and as an extra you can include slices of spanish (red) onion for flavour and colour.
