..till we meet again!

Day 64!

Last 3 days have been a roller coaster with crazy fun, loads of food and family time! Actually first 2 days and the 3rd one was a recovery mode still loaded with lots of sweets and chocolates! I shall give them a miss in my journal as I want to save myself from the embarrassment of reading the loads of sweets and savories I consumed! The move to absolute healthy food would be a slow one, taking another 3-4 days considering the house is filled with these sweet nothings and trust me, when it comes to sweets & chocolates, I am definitely not the most strong will powered one! But yes, I did make it a point to attend my gym as much as I could so as to balance out!

Day 64

7.30 am: Got up to a cup of tea unlike my usual 4 powder concoction as my body was too tired and had refused to adhere to the alarm which buzzed at 5 am for ground training!

Was too tired and went off to sleep as soon as I hit home!

Good night!

Missing family terribly! Festive season brings all of us together and its time of the year when we spend the most amazing time together with lots of gossips, leg pulling and fun and then suddenly its a draught of meeting my favourites and a wait for the next season when we would be able to relive the same moments again! Unfair but the hard truth!
