What I ate today:
One syn for chia seeds and one syn for mixed seeds.
One syn for the gravy and I am saying half for the cranberry sauce as it used sweetener.
And that's where it ends because I fell for some Christmas cake and then didn't want anything else. So not on plan and not healthy but I reckon the calories are pretty OK, given that I had nearly all the syns as well as my healthy extras.
Could have been a lot worse.
Tomorrow's plans:
Plenty of left over turkey thigh for tomorrow.
B: fruit, seeds and yogurt
L: hummus, turkey and salad wrap, side salad; fruit
D: turkey and veg pasta bake, side salad; fruit
Exercise: probably just at home, no circuits
Can’t say that I’ve ever fallen for Christmas cake but I can get pretty besotted when faced with a handsome raspberry roulade/tiramisu/key lime pie/ trifle!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I was shocked about 18 months ago to find that my cholesterol was too high so I now have a low dose statin. If it continues to fall (it’s a very slow process) I may be able to cut out the statin later on.
I fall for a lot of things . . . mostly I just keep them away from me. The cake was really nice. Maybe syns don't count if you made it yourself? lol
DeleteFingers crossed that you can discontinue the meds. I do hope so. xx
I feel sluggish when I eat too much ‘wrong’ stuff. So I really do try to eat healthily most of the time.
ReplyDeleteIt’s quite hard though, isn’t it even when healthy food can be delicious - just so much temptation.
It can be, for sure. I put that down to the rather addictive nature of stuff that is, frankly, over-processed. It's not a great feeling but it still calls to us to have more, and more, and more.
DeleteI try to focus as much on how I feel as what I can taste and smell. Doesn't always work but it does often enough to make a difference.
Christmas is hard though - all that FOMO with the special foods!
