I suppose that it's about time that I started one of these since I shall be starting Conso on Christmas Day.
I'm trying to make preparations at the moment - compiling a Conso-friendly shopping list to tide me over the Christmas period. I've already bought in some mature Cheddar (on special offer at Sainsburys), will need some wholemeal pasta, and will be trying to bake a small wholemeal loaf in my breadmaker to see if I can get the daily weight portions right that way.
I plan on eating a normal Christmas dinner with dessert - but only of sensible proportions (not the usual enormous slice of chocolate truffle torte that I'd normally have!)
As we'll have friends over for Boxing Day tea-time, I'll be making a veggie-friendly buffet feast for them, along with Dukan-friendly stuff for me.
The only sticking point could be the visit we have to make to the in-law's on 27th for the day. I've decided to not factor in my carb meal for the first week as my mum-in-law will, no doubt, be including some in the lunch she'll be kindly making for us. Thankfully, she does tend to cook prettily healthily, with little fat, anyway - so I should be able to eat most of it and still keep on the Conso straight and narrow.
That's it for now. I just wanted to do a little introduction.
