    Good For You! Miss Julie. It Sounds like you're on the Track to Fitness, and sticking to your plan.

    Actually that shake recipe sounds pretty good!

    It's best to wait til Christmas Eve or day if you want to taste some goodies.:happy:

    i will admit to indulging in cookies and candy. giving myself a bit of freedom these next 2 weeks. why toruture myself? i will keep exercising but i feel like i need to get something good to get me through the holidays. it's stressful enough with work, families visiting, people staying too long at your house, etc. :) i feel like i need that little chocolate pick me up at times. january will have to be my retraining period.

    Good for you Miss Julie. That shake sounds good to me.

    Staying on track until Christmas Eve or Day and then taste some "sweet treats" sounds like a plan. :smile:

    Over time, I've had cookies, baklava, deer sausage & (my favorite) a turkey sandwich with green apple and avocado slices.

    Glad to hear others have been enjoying the season and allowing themselves a few indulgences.
    It tends to be better to space things out than save up for those 2 days then binge on everything because you have held back or 'stayed on track' until then.

    Mince pies are called mincemeat pies here, and I stayed away from them before because I thought they were sweetened real meat pies and I thought that would be gross. Apparently there is no meat in them. Hahaha. I kind of like them now.

    As for seasonal treats I've had, I bought a tray of cherry icebox cookies. Mmmmmmm....

    Butter tarts - what can I say, I'm Canadian!

    Anticipating possible diet carnage over Christmas, I've drawn up a list of dos and don'ts. Butter tarts I will say "yes' to, boxed chocolates I will not.

    Eggnog, but it fit in my calories and brought some of my nutrition counts higher.

    Last night I made the mistake of having a gingerbread donut from Tim Hortons. It was very delish but I had the worst ever Reactive Hypoglycemia afterwards. Lesson learned...

    Oh, I love me some Christmas treats!

    Egg nog - thank god they don't carry this all year long

    Kringle - traditional Danish almond pasty (no I'm not Danish, but I like the way they think)

    Hot buttered rum - we make our own mix with haagen dazs vanilla ice cream and TONS of butter

    Enstrom's almond toffee - I order a box every year. This stuff is like crack.

    TJs peppermint coated pretzel thins, ummm, yes please.

    Oh, there will be others before I ring in the New Year. I am making my families favorite pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust for Christmas dinner...gee, I better start working out now to fit that one in my calorie count.
