Thurs, Dec 22nd

I paid the price for last night's meal. Woke up incredibly bloated with my stomach overhanging and with a belly ache...sigh! I've decided to cut out some of my holiday plans as a result, festive season or not.

I will be staying in Fri night, doing only X'mas Eve dinner as my next cheat meal, bailing on X'mas Day dinner and just going out for drinks that night instead. I'm also missing out on a friend's b'day dinner next Tuesday since it is a prix-fixe pasta meal

X'mas Day Confessions:

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I ate FAR too much last night unfortunately. Eating well all day did not help me eat less at my X'mas eve meal. I literally was in pain for an hour or two afterwards and had to wonder why I do this to myself. My other 5 dinner companions were just as impressed with my appetite and asked how I maintain my girlish figure. Yeah, if only they read this log....

Damage done last night:
-4 glasses of wine
-2 cups of coffee with brandy eggnog

-appetizers: 4 ginger snap cookies with brie cheese, greens salad

-sides eaten: candied yam, sauteed carrots, sauteed portabella mushroom, roasted brussel sprouts with pine nuts, good portion of mashed potatoes, a piece of homemade cornbread

-main course: a HUGE slab of turkey with skin. I asked for the wing and didn't realize how big it would be...everyone joked that I had a pound and a half of turkey at least. Hopefully they were just joking?

-dessert: an incredible caramel cheesecake ordered from online...at least I had the good sense to only have one piece even though there were seconds available

Somewhere in the middle of last night's meal, I agreed to X'mas dinner tonight at a Malaysian restaurant! That wasn't part of my plan. I have to figure out if I can live with the guilt now of making up some lame excuse to get out of it....

I am so ready for this year to be over so I can go back to my regular scheduled programming!
