Countdown to Christmas princessing

[Helgathehairy]

Just a short message. Every year (well for the last 3 anyway) I have started a thread for a princessing countdown to Christmas. It runs for 100 days to take us up to Christmas Eve. I'll do a proper message and links later as I need the laptop. This is the "anyone interested" thread

That's brilliant helena and definitely get something pretty to inspire you!! I've got a gold Starbucks tumbler with a straw, it's metal but for some reason it's much easier to drink water with a straw!

Good morning.

Now that the madness of the wedding is over, although I have a stinking cold from the travel, I am ready to get stuck in.

I am 12st 12 as of yesterday afternoon. So gained 2lbs on the trip (happy enough with that as Italian food is delish!! And I didn't want to not enjoy it all). Want to lose a total of 2 st 6, but aiming initially for 1 st.

Also need to catch up on sleep generally, and get my energy back. Work on moisturizing etc. Toning up. Getting my lungs working better again. And eating healthily too (we've been a bit junk food-y recently, not dreadful but not great either), so lots of fruit and veggies etc. and plenty of water (also need to detox due to the amount of wine consumed in the past 5 days!).

After that, I can tackle the more intransigent problems......

Ok ladies. A few things. I said previously that traditionally we count down to Christmas Eve but I just can't remember why so this year we're going to do 100 days to Christmas Day. Which starts tomorrow!

I will put up a new post when I get the chance - probably tonight if DH doesn't need his laptop for work. I'll link to it here.

I need to add one more item to my list - take a photo every day (inspired by 100 days of happiness).

I've also decided to pick 3 habits that are most important to me and focus on them. Even if I get nothing else done in a day, once I do these 3 things I'll be happy. I'll aim to do everything but these are my main focus for now (I'm picking flossing, taking my folic acid and washing my face at night.

i'm in,

Will be 29 weeks pregnant with 1st DC on Xmas day so need to do something, been feeling grotty for the last 14 weeks and only just starting to feel normal again.

however, I have definitely neglected myself and all around me - had an epilate of legs and armpits last night, only do lower half of legs. Lady shave from there upwards so intend for that this evening.
Will make a list now, I would love to have a 'glow' by Xmas.

I need to add 3 things:

Eye gel/cream morning & night (I hav enough various samples to keep me going to Christmas NEXT year)

Wear my glasses instead of contact lenses one whole day every week & try to get in the habit of wearing them in the evenings too

Do Not switch the TV on when I get up, working from home is hard enough motivation wise without finding easy distractions on the idiot box all day.

Oh and another: actually use MFP fully rather than only logging days I've just eaten salad

crumbled please come join us on the actual thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/2468003-Princessing-Countdown-to-Christmas-the-100-day-challenge-starts-here.

Ooh I didn't know there was an actual thread yet, I've been refreshing this one, wondered why it had gone so quiet!

Sorry, my fault, I was supposed to add the link to the thread but I forgot.
