Meal Plan - 16/12/12 - 22/12/12

We're now well into the festive season, so its about now that it becomes very easy to start eating badly and start snacking on things that you shouldn't really be snacking on. It's important to remember that this is OK! If we couldn't indulge from time to time and were only allowed to eat healthy things then what would be the point of being alive? While it is fine to indulge it is even more important to keep some structure during this period as if you stop doing all of the good things that you were doing then there is a good chance you'll completely fall off the wagon.

On a personal level it is mine and my brothers birthday this week, so I know that I'm going to be eating a fair bit of rubbish while I'm celebrating. I also know that I'm going to start making Christmas snacks like sausage rolls, and some puddings that I'm going to snack on. Instead of just giving up on eating well I'm still sticking to an 'ideal plan' but knowing that I can detour from this. I'm also using the less then healthy options as a reward to make sure I exercise to compensate for the extra food I'm eating. So if I complete my weights workout I'm allowed to have a brownie etc.

I'll try my best to find some healthier festive meals and some nice mid winter snacks (I'm thinking roasted chestnuts?) but either way, if you can't be healthy at least enjoy yourself!
