What's on your Christmas menu? (or are you throwing in the towel for the day???)

Mornin' All - and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

we're heading over to my mom's around 2:00 today. I made the dinner and snacks, but we have to lug everything over there since my mother can no longer deal with stairs. A pain but...we gotta do what we gotta do!

QOTD: what's your menu or plan for eating today, if you even have one? (and if you don't - hey - it's a holiday, and it's just one day. You are forgiven!). My usual plan on holidays is just to enjoy it, have a few treats, but don't make a pig out of myself. And get right back on track the next day!

B: plain skyr with cranberry/cherry compote, coffee with half &half

MS: (I'll push this off until 11:00 or 12:00 and skip lunch given all the other eating today): protein shake

AS: I'm taking some baked goods over to my mom's (I have some cookies I've had in the freezer that came from a friend, and some cranberry/oatmeal bars I made for a party last week that have also been in the freezer. In addition, I made some cranberry/sweet potato bread yesterday, modified for me (to make it safer: unsweetened applesauce instead of oil, artificial sweetener, some protein powder, and half the flour was replaced with crushed bran flakes. I'm hoping it's pretty filling so I won't eat too much of the other stuff!!)

D: small piece of lasagna (made with spinach and chicken sausage), salad, a scoop of peppermint ice cream with homemade hot fudge sauce. And yes - wine.

have a great day, everyone!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope it's a perfect day with loved ones and you have the opportunity to celebrate all the things that make this time of year special!

QOTD - no plan here other than to enjoy the afternoon with friends and celebrate it no longer being freezing, lol.

Happy Xmas to those who celebrate! Good luck getting everything to your mom's.

Stew is on and we're headed out to see Avatar, which I'm excited to see in theaters, even though it's a three hour movie. Seems like the right sort of movie to be on a giant screen with its immersive world.

Family stayed until almost midnight last night, so I'll make toffee pudding this afternoon. Did make the date paste yesterday.

There was some interesting conversation about setting the sister up with a guy who's been single for a long time, so I got the experience of watching people get judged by their pictures and attributes listed. She's single and desperately wants a relationship. Hearing her feedback as they ran through this poor guy's list of traits...cringe. Maybe it's just me but I can't simply see a photo of someone and decide whether they're worth a date. There's a whole person behind that picture. And then they asked me about him and heard that same feedback. :) I would never do well at transactional online dating, so it's good that I'm enjoying being off the market.

I'm having huge issues posting on OH...this is my fourth attempt today, including two phone reboots. Hmm.

QOTD- Stew, a bit of toffee pudding. Already had a protein shake and have some protein chips with me. I will probably have some movie theater something today but it depends on what they have on offer.

Accountability - bit of spaghetti yesterday. More meat sauce and meatballs than noodles, though. One sip of wine to toast the occasion. Need more water.

Exercise - walking around the exterior of this freezing cold mall. Movie starts in a half hour and the doors aren't open yet. Good times!

Hope you all have a wonderful day with family and friends. Best wishes.

Merry Christmas everyone!
