Christmas Challenge, day 13 (14 really)

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to my Christmas Challenge, 2024 where I try to give as much festive vibe to my everyday food as I can with the aim of staying on my healthy Mediterranean focused meals so that weight gain is minimal and I remain healthy.


What I ate yesterday:

Still no photos because . . .
I wasn't very hungry through the day so just grabbed fruit as and when.
I had Dave and Anna round for dinner and there just wasn't the opportunity to take photos.  You may or may not remember that I had pretty much prepped everything a fortnight ago and they had to cancel and the last minute so most of it went into the freezer.

What I did:
I made roast potatoes and onion.
I made honey mustard carrots and parsnips
I air fried sprouts and bacon
The main event was steak and chestnut slices.  I already had some of my rough puff pastry from when they had to cancel a fortnight ago and chunks of steak from a M&S can of chunky steak (it's delicious and worth it for special occasions) with the gravy sieved off.  To that I just added some crumbled chestnuts and turned that and the pastry into three 'slices' (like flat pasty type things).
The lemon cheesecake had frozen beautifully so that was good.

It was really lovely - but a long way from being SW or Med healthy

Today's meal plans:

B:  lemon buckwheat pancakes with spiced yogurt 🎅

L:  marmite cheese on toast; fruit

D:  potato topped steak, chestnut 🎅 and veg pie, veg; fruit
I have a bit of the steak and a very few veg left from last night

Exercise:  Lindsey's advent calendar exercises

And I REALLY hope I can get back to normal for three days now - until the next one.  Fingers crossed, please.
