Up and down day food wise:
b: 2 boiled eggs
l: at a Buffet for the Christmas party of one half of the extended family, ate the inside of a portion of onion and tomato tart, veg and ham frittata, homemade coleslaw, roast lamb, French beans. So, all was going not too bad really, until .... The Christmas pudding made by my husband's aunt who has cancer and which is famously wonderful, with brandy butter. READER, I ATE SOME. And it was delicious. I loved every mouthful. BUT I felt the sugar hit. Didn't have a big crash, possibly because I'd eaten a lot of other stuff. But it would have taken me to about 6 times the carbs I usually eat a day (I keep as low as I can, aiming for under 25/30). And I couldn't test as I didn't have my kit and was out for the rest of the afternoon. Am going to chalk it up as a special occasion and remind myself of the danger of special occasions turning into habits. I've planned the rest of my special occasions for the foreseeable future now, on which I allow myself ONE of the following: small portion carbs with meal, small dessert, or a couple of glasses of wine.
D: some cumin spiced cheese, veg frittata, home made coleslaw, lettuce and tomato.
