I mean Easter, of course.
So - what is everybody doing for Easter? How are you planning to cope with the Ghost of Cadbury's Present?
My husband and I have given it a hell of a lot of thought over the last couple of weeks. In previous years I would have simply said "To hell with it!", gone off plan for the whole of the Easter weekend and filled my face with chocolate, hot cross buns and all manner of other crap.
This year, I'm not doing it. I took the time to look on the Sainsbury's website and see what was available in terms of Easter eggs made from really nice, organic, good quality chocolate, rather than the usual Cadbury's or Nestle fare. I then went and worked out the syn values. Once I'd been revived, I thought about it a bit more.
A Green & Black's Organic Butterscotch Easter Egg comes in at 47.5 syns for the whole beastie. I get my Sainsbury's delivery the same day that I go to SW - the start of my SW week. There's absolutely no reason I shouldn't have one of those and deduct it from my weekly syns - then eat it over the course of the week in bits (or all in one go, whatever!).
I'm going to try doing this, and do my level best to not deviate from plan at all as a result of Easter. If I manage it, it'll be a first, believe me.
Anyone else going to try something like this?
