I agree s-g Pootle is a great success and another ambassador for this way of life.

Glad you’re almost packed s-g and yes we do have to ‘have a life’ so the odd glass of wine is far less destructive than a full ‘blow out’ dinner with all the trimmings.

Today we had family here for roast Korean chicken, baked potatoes & salad followed by apple pie with cream and ice cream. The chicken was lovely. For me the potatoes and pie hold no interest anymore. Maybe that’s what happens after eating this way for so many years. I certainly don’t feel as though I’m ‘missing’ anything. Now this way of eating just feels normal to me. I guess it’s like someone who becomes vegetarian. At first you may feel odd not eating meat but after a while it just becomes your ‘new normal’.

Anyway S-g have a great Christmas with your family.

Not sure where I saw ‘suggestions for January title’ but, ‘New Year, New Me ‘sounds good..
New year, new start one day, one week at a time?

2025 one day at a time….in the next year, ask yourself ‘when I look back on 2025
how will my life look if I continue with healthy eating compared to if I stop?

How much do you want this? That’s the question we each have to ask ourselves!

SG, how wonderful to have a cleaner to help keep things straight, especially just before going away.

My positive for today is …. having friends visit for mulled wine and nibbles this afternoon. Was lovely to catch up on people’s news in person.

Positive for today.
I had a phone call from a very long standing friend who I haven’t seen or spoken to for over 12 months! Told her about the BSD and she was very interested….doing my best to spread the word that this way of eating really works! 😇

I am all packed for my 2 weeks away…except the food stuff in the fridge and freezer…I am taking no chances that my sister in law will only provide plenty of carbs! 😂

We are going out to my favourite restaurant tonight, so a fish supper followed by a very sinful creme brûlée if it is on the menu! I will forego the chips…😉

Happy Christmas!!

Pootle … enjoy!

Sunny friends with wine and nibbles sounds good.

So to my positives ….

🍗🥗🥔 lunch with family yesterday. Weight down this morning! Passed on the baked potatoes and apple pie and cream! I must admit if I have a ‘good’ lunch I don’t feel hungry in the evening so probably eat less. Maybe something to learn there!

🐓🥦🥔 trying to finalise recipes for Christmas Day lunch. Yes I will have a roast potato and some Christmas pudding, my weakness, but will do my best to stay low carb otherwise. Calories will be a different story!!!

Hope this season is not proving to have too much ‘madness’. Enjoy!

Pootle, how lovely to catch up with someone you haven’t spoken to in so long.
V, sounds like you are getting well organised further main event. Have to say I’m not focused enough fit that this year… winging it on the menu front this time!

Positives for today …..
💷💳 last of the main gifts purchased today🤸‍♀️
🎁🎁 first batch of gifts wrapped
🛏🧺 bedding laundered and bedroom for visiting parents prepped

Best of all, I feel like I’ve ticked a lot of my To Do list!

Yesterday’s positives;
On my way to S-I-L, I put holly on my parents’ grave and hand delivered 15 Christmas cards to friends who live 150 miles from us! A great saving in postage…and I had to use the fuel anyway!

Hi everyone! Calling by to say Happy Solstice and a very Merry Christmas XX
Hope 2025 will be a great year, full of positivity,for us all! XXXXXXXX

Thank you for dropping in with festive good wishes Yowser.

I’m sure there are plenty of positives each day for most of us right now, but life is getting in the way of posting about them right now. That’s as it should be though, it’s important to take the time to appreciate all our blessings however small. So I’m just going to post one positive for now and that is soending time with family.

Whatever you are doing during the festive season, have a peaceful and joyful time and if none of us get around to posting here in the next week or so, we’ll reconvene here in 2025.

Yowzer … lovely to ‘see’ you’! All festive wishes to you too. ‘24 has been a great weight kiss year for you let 2025 be equally as good whichever way you want it to be.

Happy holidays to everyone.

Let’s regroup in the new year and become even more positive in our outlook and in life!
