Christmas !

Deck the halls and all that..!

How's everyone looking forward to Christmas this year? What kind of parties do people have lined up?

I'm opting for being taxi driver as much as possible, no drinking for me, less calories!

... well it's a plan anyway..!

^ I dunno about anyone else, but xmas is a minefield of food, as if you work, as I do or even if you don't there are lots of do's to go too and if I ate what i like at all of them I'd be back to square one .

I have the works xmas do, school mums xmas do and inbetween the school play where they always serve mince pies etc... our staff room at work starts to become laiden with chocs and mince pies, plus it's alos my birthday, then there is xmas itself thats if you made it past the pre xmas stuff!!

The mantra for me is going to be

'no one is forcing you to eat, temptation is there, no one is forcing you to eat'

I have to guide my food ship carefully through this time....

Yea besides the money my main worry is the food also. Its the way my ol mum kind of leaves a spread of sweets out throughout the day just sitting there. Nuts and sweets in a dish. So once the main meals eaten theres always stuff to eat.

I'm going to be working most of it minus 3 days I get off inc xmas day so there wont be too much food in my way its more the alcohol cals that are bad for me at this time of year theres always a night out or get together of some sort

I have also just been told that I get two days off.... Thats it... so I'll be working my backside off while everyone else is stuffing their faces at home.... wahey!!
