Christmas is over, the goose is getting fat...

So a very merry happy Christmas it has once more been in my joyful household among the beautiful festive decor. Mother out did herself again and again with an exquisite Xmas dinner, Boxing day dinner , 27th of December dinner and even a bonus 28th of December dinner earlier (there really is no stopping her gourmet food producing talent – thank goodness!) Whilst I out did myself again with the amount of celebratory drinks and gloriously calorific food I managed to stuff down ON TOP of the exquisite dinners (I have a similar non-stoppable talent…). And now we are edging closer and closer to the New Year - pheew! This inter-period works as an important time of rest, recovery and digestion, and perhaps even a slight gentle working off of that extra Christmas happy fat I am feeling around my edges. Of course, I don’t want to go too crazy, as, let’s face it, technically this breather time is still “xmas” – and it would be foolish to deny myself treats during the main acceptable treat stuffing time of the year (the others being Easter and Birthday of course) when I shall be strict and celery consuming for the rest of it. So basically the healthy eating plan starts now and goes as follows; firstly, instead of eating my Christmas shortbread for breakfast, I shall have Weetabix. Some shortbread may be consumed as a breakfast desert. Secondly, absolutely no more snacking from the basket of Roses chocolates on the coffee table, none, ziltz, the end (there’s nothing left I like anyway so really what would be the point?). Thirdly, no more snippets of the xmas cake with every coffee I drink. I know they compliment each other beautifully and taste so so so soooooo delicious, but the five pieces the other day really was too much and to be truthful, made me more sick and ashamed than happy... Every other coffee from now on. Fourthly, alcoholic beverages must be cut to a minimum, no more than six a day. And lastly, fruit must be recognised as an acceptable form of dessert once more by my nervous system, training to begin immediately. There, that should do for the next couple of days. At least until the New Years blow-out wahey! Ooooh yes, I can almost taste it now, it’s gonna be a good’n... Mmmmm…… Ah well, there’s always New Years resolutions…
