Hello ladies and gents!
I have finally stopped boggling and decided that I am letting myself have Christmas Day (quite relaxed – but the dinner will be SW friendly for the most part), and Boxing Day (slightly relaxed) and my birthday and trip on the 27[SUP]th[/SUP], 28[SUP]th[/SUP] and 29[SUP]th[/SUP] probably still slightly relaxed but only out of necessity as I’ll be eating out for most meals! I most definitely won’t be having a big dirty fry up or a bag of chips etc – I’ll order as healthily as the menus will allow! I’m thinking pastas, salads, soups, wholemeal sandwiches, will probably take my breakfasts with me so they’re sorted and will be doing all sorts every day so will be constantly on the go!
I have written my Christmas shopping list today and it’s looked pretty OK-ish.. I won’t bore you with the good stuff but here’s a list of my Christmas treats/syns:
-Fresh orange juice (for cooking carrots and sweet potatoes)
-Fresh pomegranate juice (for cooking lamb on Boxing Day)
-Box of celebrations (so I can treat myself to a couple every day – I am surprisingly good at showing restraint when it comes to big boxes of chocolates!)
-Milky ways – my fave
-Weight-watchers fresh puddings (microwave treacle sponges, chocolate sponges and crumbles)
-Ambrosia low-fat custard
-Honey (for cooking carrots and parsnips)
-Christmas pudding (hoping they do some EatSmart / NuMe low-fat versions for me – if they are mini then I may get 2!!
)
-Mince pies (again, very good at showing restraint but I HAVE to treat myself to a mince pie at Christmas – I have avoided them for months at work!!)
-Plain peanuts (for sweet chilli prawn noodles on Christmas Eve)
-Wholemeal melba toast (for Slimming World paté starter on Christmas Day)
-Plain green olives in BRINE in a jar (1 syn per 8 olives)
-Cranberry sauce
-Sweet chilli sauce
-Tomato ketchup (for bacon sandwiches!)
-Brown sauce (for bacon sandwiches!)
-Gravy granules for Turkey
-Stuffing
-Leg of lamb (Boxing Day..mmm!)
-Mint sauce
-Stilton
-Smoked cheese
What do you think??? What's everyone else having? And more importantly, am I forgetting anything??? Lol
