Still rockin' it
Hi all
I am NOT going to dwell on what I can't have this season. I made a choice to lose weight so am going to take constructive action and fill my house full of food I can eat, and not spend my time moaning about what I can't.
Who's in?
Here is my red/amber/green list for Christmas food survival (in addition to all the usual SW food):
