new year, new me and the thing that keeps me going!!

so, its been two weeks since new years and almost a month since my previous post. not that i've been very busy but because i've conveniently fallen in love with my sofa and sleep again 😟 . I have never been a resolution person but this year i really want to change my eating habits and keep away from the couch as much as possible. the body sculpting course i did has actually helped me shape up and lose some weight and i aim at maintaining it (super difficult😔).
   The morning waking pattern has improved quite a bit since Gowtham kept complaining that i don't wake up in the morning for one sole reason, that i am lazy to cook!!!! to prove him wrong i have been waking up, making breakfast, packing lunch for him and also have been cooking up proper dinner😌.  G is an early riser, infact he's not quite the sleeper. but i am 100% the opposite (women need more sleep, u see) and i need my 8 hours to stay non-cranky for the next 8 hours! since i don't have any makeup bookings till pongal (no weddings happen in the month of 'thai' in tamilnadu) i have been having extremely lazy days and some days my back hurts from all the sitting :( .
  so we wakeup, he has his coffee and milk bikis and i have my banana, we read the paper, i prepare and pack lunch for G and make breakfast (mostly just granola with cranberries and milk and on rare occasions when my mum has sent batter, we have dosa and idli) and send him off to work.
  Then the real deal begins. i bring my glass of ezhani (my father-in-law cultivates coconut, so lucky with the coconuts and tender coconuts), turn on the tv and sit on my favourite sofa with 3 cushions around. first its The Kapil Sharma Show, then a movie on comedy now (half way through which i sleep), when i wake up the clock would've magically turned 3 hours later😳😳. the dishes in the sink will be crying out loud and so i'll reluctantly get up to wash them. one good thing here is that i always love a clean and neat kitchen (who doesn't really), so once i start cleaning i don't stop till the counter is sparkling clean. laundry then gets done and i take my lunch to My Spot and settle for the next 2 hours. it's already time for tea then, so the move has to happen. cleaning the house happens thereafter since i don't have a maid (another  long story) and it's time for dinner. 9 hours go by like this on most days and on the rarest of occasions, i squeeze in half hour's stretching or some sort of exercise before dinner time. bed time was past midnight last year but since i've decided to wake up early in 2017, i've decided to sleep early too (b/w 11.30 pm and 12 am).
   after a lot of puzzle solving and Q&A's in my head, my brain finally dozes off to get ready for another great day. in between this monotony, the thing that keeps me going is G, not much of a romantic(i make up for his non romanticism). he always comes home with a smile and greets me with a kiss. it's kind of like saying he's glad to be back home(he says it sometimes too) 😍. the other great thing about G is that he is always planning on the next vacation or holiday 😛.
  p.s a picture of my favourite sofa will be on the next blog coz i've come to the in-laws' for the pongal weekend.
