Christmas is coming… and gal is getting fat!

Well, were do I start? I have ‘tried’ to gain a ‘fabulous at 50’ approach to my up and coming BIG Birthday. This includes going to the gym – I am currently averaging once a week. Eating healthily – ‘dinner’ one night this week, was a large glass of Merlot, large bag of cheese and onion crips (one of my 5 a day?) and a bag of chocolate covered raisins (another one of my 5 a day perhaps?).

I have approximately 4 weeks to look ‘fabulous’ darling… that’s not going to happen. With Christmas coming up, this involves compulsory mulled wine, mince pies and gallons of Prosecco, the only time I will be fabulous is when I’m not wearing my glasses whilst looking in the mirror. So to help, I have invested in the ‘revolutionary’ M&S moisturiser, which evidently you apply at night and you wake up the next day, looking 10 years younger… watch this space…. A close ‘friend’ asked last week, if I’d be offended if she bought me Botox for my birthday…? Actually, I’m not, I’m more afraid of looking like a candle. Plus I am noted for my familiar scowl and permanent frown – its my default resting bitch face.. So I will still ‘try’ to improve my diet and increase the exercise to at least two gym visits a week.
