Good morning to you!
Sadly, I am full of the joys of a bad cold and yesterday was an awful crash come the evening - food galore found its way down my throat. The cold is a reason for feeling low, of course, not an excuse for pigging out!
Back on it today although I'm feeling very disinclined to eat much at all because of a sore throat.
Yes, I am whinging! Time to cheer up, I think.

Ten healthy habits for Christmas
5. consider a plant based meal
Making one vegan meal a week is a great way of adding more fibre rich food - such as beans, nuts and legumes - to your diet. It'll give your digestion a break from heavy meat consumption at Chriostmas, too. for plant based recipe inspiration, go to https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/vegan-recipes

(given how much meat I have to use up, both ham and turkey, I can't follow this for a few days but it's not bad advice generally to build more plant based meals into ones week)
Yesterday's meal photos:
Breakfast was just an apple, an easy peeler and some grapes - no photo. The evening was a disaster. So I have just one photo . . .
The cranberry sauce tastes different, of course, made with some sweetener, sharper that the real kind, but it's quite nice. I added a bit of orange zest to the mix.
The turkey leg was tasty and also has given me a lovely, good, jellied stock which I think I am going to use as the base for the Christmas gravy. I'll freeze it and get it out the day before when I also have the stock from the giblets and make the gravy then.
Today's plans:
B: right now, I don't feel up to eating much breakfast but I have fruit and yogurt so will have that, if wanted.
SW: half a syn for yogurt
L: leek, broccoli and butterbean soup
I made this yesterday and never had it so I've just boiled it up and it will be good for an easy to swallow lunch - although, to be fair, I hope swallowing will be much easier by then). I have ham, turkey and some cauliflower that I can chop up and add, if wanted and, as it is quite thick, I will slacken it with some milk
SW: half a healthy extra A for some milk
D: cheesy turkey and cranberry toastie; yogurt
. . . or it might be more soup - I will just see how I feel when it gets to it.
SW: if I have a toastie, it will use the rest of my healthy extra A and my healthy extra B, if it's soup, I've already counted the milk and the yogurt will be half a syn
Exercise: It's supposed to be circuits today. I'm going to join online and do what I can.
Summary:
up to two healthy extra As
maybe one healthy extra B
one syn
The Christmas Challenge is to have at least one meal each day with a Christmas Festive vibe to it while staying within the Slimming World Plan.
