53 days to go until the big day, but probably only 38 days to go until the season gets into full swing. For me, that means more booze than usual, 3 course meals and chocolates galore. I like to be able to indulge in nice food at Christmas, so will be starting my November health kick and wondered if anyone else wanted to join me? No prescriptive diet to follow, just a conscious effort to cut down on booze (im going to try and cut out), make healthy food choices and cut down on treat foods. Today, I have upped my veggies and avoided bread, no crisps or afternoon chocolate biscuit! The idea is to get to Christmas a few pounds lighter so that the rich Christmas foods and selection boxes do not impact too unkindly on my waistline. Damage limitation if you will.
