Well done you. You have admirable discipline!

Although I always try to brush my teeth after dinner to prevent evening snacking! It's during the day at work that I snack the most!

MrsDrink

Ah see I'm too busy to snack at work (besides being practically impossible).

I have just placed my Christmas food shop with Asda - although kicking myself as the latest I could get is the Wednesday. Anyway I have decided that I'm going to make us a practice cheesecake for the wedding!! So that is my Christmas Eve taken care of lol.

Natalie- its over 8 months ago! Can imagine if the next 8 months go that quickly- Ill be on honeymoon before I know it!:D

Oh I am soooooooo hungry- got in from the gym and dinner isnt ready yet- tut tut! Im trying not to snack!!

I find the worst time for snacking is at work- if I can stop snacking there then I will be ok- I try and only take healthy snacks in with me and no money to buy crisps or chocolate!!

Oh youll be eating cheesecake all over christmas then!

What is everyones plans for christmas? Im going to ohs mum christmas eve, his brother will be home and we havent seen him in ages (lives in london and is in oz at the mo) then christmas day we are going to my mums and maybe ohs parents friends in the evening.

MrsDrink

Christmas day morning - wake up ridiculously early. Share our presents. Cook Christmas lunch together (chicken). Eat till we're stuffed. Visit MrD's parents - round the block from us. Then around tea time visit my mums (about an hours drive away), but not eat - too full to eat from lunch lol. Around 10pmish drive home. Have something to nibble on (I'm thinking cheesecake lol).

Well ive just had my dinner- and it was tasty! Not very healthy but I have been very good all day so im not going to hold it against myself!

I have the veil- may go upstairs and have a little try on!!

MrsDrink

More things to take photos of!!

My tea was disgusting lol - was going to have bolognaise with veg - but I don't have any passata or chopped toms!! So I had mince, mushrooms, red onions, some cherry tomatoes, beef stock cube, oregano - but without the passata that I usually use it was just blurgh. Had it with 50g of wholemeal pasta and some boiled veg. Boring. BUT I am very pleased that I cooked it. I didn't just say sod it and get a take away when I realised I didn't have all the ingredients. And I've cooked it so early because MrD is working late and if I didn't do it now then I probably wouldn't do it ever!

I'm being a good housewife - have got a log fire on the go ready for his Lordship to return lol.

Mine was so tasty- and im hoping ive converted oh to sausage casserole- I love it, he used to say its horrible cos the sausages go all soft- well he ate it all so it cant have been that bad!! Natalie- well done on still eating your dinner. haha- on a weds we have role reversal- oh gets on and does dinner and I can chill (he does finish at lunchtime so its only fair!!:))

I think leading up to christmas im going to concentrate on being good at work, and going to the gym and not not snacking at home- then in the new year i will really start being good at all meals.

Right im going for a trial- no photos today- I look rough!!:o

MrsDrink

Oh I hate soggy sausage casserole - can't stand the skin on sausages not being cooked. When I do a sausage casserole I always grill my sausages first - a) it cooks the skin - so it's not all chewy and stretchy and b) a lot of the fat drips out onto the grill and not into the casserole

PinkPrincess83

Thats what I told oh to do- grill the sausages first. (i think when he last had it years ok they were cooked first and it put him off)

MrsDrink

I tried my wedding ring on when I got home - and it slid on the best it has done yet!!

I want something weddingy to do!!
