I had my first Christmas dinner of 2012 today at B for B Ladies lunch group. The group meets at the Royal Victoria Holiday Inn in Sheffield and the lunch was delicious. It was a buffet style which was great as you could pile on the meat and veggies, lay off the potatoes and pick up some fruit too. They even put on free wine but as I was driving I only had a small glass. It's probably the most festive I've felt so far and the group are lovely.
Recently, I've been struggling to sleep at night but not in the mornings! Lots of people seem to be finding it a struggle with the dark mornings and freezing cold temperatures. But, it's not long until the shortest day!
Today I've eaten:
Breakfast: Muesli with semi skimmed milk, 3 almonds
Lunch: 2 slices turkey, 1 roast potato, 2 mini pigs in blankets, 2 stuffing balls, carrots and brussel sprouts followed by pate, brie and cheddar (small pieces!) with 3 crackers and a slice of chocolate swiss roll
Dinner: Chilli con carne with rice, pear
I'm amazed I had room for dinner after lunch but I didn't have huge portions so was able to enjoy what I ate without being ridiculously full afterwards. Portion control is key to not putting weight on over the Christmas period. Take a little of everything and see if you are still hungry after you've eaten rather than having a huge portion and forcing yourself to eat it.
