Good morning.
Today isn't going to be easy - or maybe I mean it will be too easy. I'm doing what Mum and Dad ask for and it's not, definitely not, Slimming World friendly. I guess maybe it's damage control today which is the opposite of what SW is all about.
At least, for me, it will be frugal!
B: porridge with fruit and yogurt. I guess that's OK!
SW: half a healthy extra A for the milk and one B for the oats
L: cheese, ham, pickles and crackers; fruit or mince pie
< sigh > OK; so, obviously, fruit rather than the mince pie - no hardship. Dad's got a nice piece of stilton so I'll have a bit of that and will keep the crackers to a minimum. No butter for me - not hard, because too much fat does tend to cause a few problems. The cheese will be enough.
SW: haven't a clue. I will look up the syn counts as it might stiffen my backbone but I intend to enjoy what I do have.
D: pizza and salad; mince pies on offer, yogurt for me!
As above really. A small slice of the pizza and a nice load of salad.
SW: eeeekkkkk! The pizza will be one syn though! :-)
Dinner is a sort of family tradition - we always have pizza on Christmas Eve and, for us, Christmas is tomorrow so today is Christmas Eve. My brother will be arriving at some point late afternoon so it should be lovely but I will work on portion control and making the best choices.
Morning Joy
ReplyDeleteWell, it all sounds so easy - on paper! :-) It's good that you are socialising with family, as they will understand why you are being careful with your choice of food and the quantity. You probably do this anyway, but I use a smaller plate. Maybe take your own saucer - :-D At least you have time to lose any extra 'festive food' weight gain before your next weigh-in. Good luck, but don't let it spoil your family gathering.
Have a lovely time.

Thanks, Carol. Very sound advice. Especially the saucer - made me laugh!

Go easy on yourself, Joy, and just enjoy the weekend's traditions. You've proven just how well you can lose extra pounds...and if you're worrying all the time about trying to be good, you won't relax or be able to enjoy the family time.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've discovered that my digestive system is rather more delicate than it used to be - and I'm not sorry. It's a clear prompt to go a bit easier. I'm having a lovely time though.

Our mantra in my SW group over this period is "ON PLAN WHEN YOU CAN". Realistically I think that's the best we can hope for. Of course, there are always one or two paragons who somehow manage a weight loss and I certainly envy their determination but I will enjoy what I want.
ReplyDeleteI already am! I like 'On Plan When You Can and will adopt it for myself as it fits my life perfectly right now! Thanks.
