Merry Christmas and all that.

Gidday. Its been ages since I last posted mainly due to it being Christmas and New Years.I survived it all ok although the scales have moved down they stuck hard and fast for a couple of weeks as punishment for not sticking to healthy eating (something that I am still struggling to get back into). Christmas for me is about Christ then FOOD. I do all the pressys and things but mostly after my faith its all about the food. I decided this year not to buy much as we had breakfast at my eldest sons place and dinner at my daughters so this was a good opportunity to not overdo it. However, I dont need to buy much before I start to 'overdo' it. Just the kids treats alone leave me enough scraps to 'go hard' and I just delve into the left over choccy stockings and eat up the cherry ripes which everyone hates even me but waste not want not is the Dianne motto! We had crayfish for breakfast Christmas morning. I must say I arent a great crayfish fan but hey it was there for the taking so I took some chew chew chew then woops sick! Sorry about the wastage son! Then came the pancakes and ............ burp yep that was a waste too. I managed to keep the bacon down and some juice. Dinner I did much better and found that the pork crackle slipped down nicely. After Christmas all the chrissy puddings and cakes became 70% off so I just fought and fought the urge to buy stacks of them and in the end I gave up the fight and bought 4 but.................two are still in the cupboard lol. Its a real battle to fight the old habits and urges. The quantity I can eat is remarkably smaller but I still try to eat more than I should before I take myself by the ear to the corner of the room and give myself a good talking to! I hope you folk all had great festive times and didnt over indulge too much. New Years was very dry for me which I dont ever feel too worried about mainly (apart from seeing others act like twats) I cant see the point in such empty calories when you can have Christmas cake and custard mmmmmmmmm. Andy and i have been biking as part of our new years resolution. After the last attempt of about 20kms I have had a couple of days break to try and get the feeling back into my arse. Well thats it for me. Will type again in a week. Happy New Year to you all xxx
