Kids are counting the days before Christmas not because of the gifts they are expecting to receive from their Ninangs and Ninongs, but they are looking forward to a longer Christmas break ahead.

Me, I’m counting the days to lose more pounds before Christmas. I’m afraid to pack on the pounds again this Yuletide season. To gain weight again makes me anxious. (I can feel my heart beating fast like someone has set up a Smokey Amp Amplifiers inside.) The only way to counter my fear is an intense workout after every food trip (gathering).

I’m also planning to buy a two-inches smaller pair of jeans next month. Isn’t that a good self-motivation? 🙂
