Hi everyone,
As we are approaching Christmas week I just thought I’d share how I’ve got on this weekend. I will be away for Christmas so have had an early Christmas along with other get togethers. A few months back I would have probably decided not to attend but I really didn’t want to miss out and am now so glad I did
Fri - meal out with friends. It had been a long week so I treated myself to 2 x small red wines, one before the meal and one during. We had cured meats and cheese to start and I had smoked salmon salad as a main.
Sat - for our early Christmas we had the usual... turkey and all the trimmings. I had turkey, pork, sausage, carrots and sprouts. Then had low carb trifle for dessert. A cheeky low carb small muffin later on in the evening.
Sun - a meal out (the dreaded carvery!). I stuck to gammon, roasted veg and cauliflower cheese. When I got home I had a sugar free jelly.
Just thought I’d share this to provide a bit of hope for anyone worried about socialising over Christmas. This weekend I was totally out of routine and had to estimate my carbs for every meal. I used my Libre for guidance and managed to stay in range
This time last year I was following the usual NHS guidelines (everything in moderation) and I know my BS would have been awful! So by making a few different choices I’ve been able to enjoy myself and feel good for it (that said I was a little envious of everyone eating pizza on Friday or eating ice cream as dessert but I know how I’d feel afterwards!).
