The boys don't care how long I sleep. My body doesn't let me sleep in...Yesterday I woke at 4:30am without my alarm. Today it was 5.

EMF Report

I spent most of the week playing catch up from the ice cream incident on Sunday. 6 days clean again.

***I lost 1/2 a pound and 3 inches off my core (Hips, Waist, Bust).

I am hoping to make it through christmas eating only fatty goodness. To avoid cookies etc, I am making Primal Egg Nog, Pumpkin Pie and Fatty Balls. I probably won't hit NK this week due to preservatives, dairy and AS, but I will avoid sugar and grains.

I'm contemplating Christmas myself. I'm making an awesome pepper-crusted prime rib. I'm most worried about dessert...thinking about Chris's ice cream made with coconut milk for me.

Congrats on the lost inches!!!!

I have decided I am just going to not eat sugar or grains, and do the best I can with the rest till I get back. I was thinking about making some kind of fat bomb balls. I also plan to make a batch of the cream cheese/tampenade with celery because that satisfies the need to crunch and the need for salty. I will likely also eat too much cheese, but better that than cookies.

I'd rather overeat on protein and fat than sugar...I've just barely lost the sugar monster cravings and don't really want them back!

Hey Ruth, regarding that whipped dessert. I have seen many pins that show whipped coconut milk, so I am certain it would work and probably be very good!

I will also be eating more cheese but it is better than sugar and grains. I have the celery ready and will make my own tampenade The fat bombs will make my desserts seem decadent.

[demuralist]

I am thinking I will make that 7 layer choco coconut thing (pinterest) LCHF for dessert.

p.s. I added this recipe to the LCHF recipe group

I did some pre-emptive chocolate purchases this year. We usually have chocolate oranges, and Toblerone bars in our stockings. Plus Santas, and some Ritter sport squares. And maybe some Kinderschokolade. Oh, and Ferraro Roche and Almond Roca! (Why yes, we DO like choclate at Christmas!)

We're budgeting, so I asked each of us which treats were VITAL. (Chocolate oranges and Toblerones.) I purchased those, but they are not vital for me, so for my stocking I got two bars of DARK chocolate. And a package of Ferraro Roche to split amongst all of us, so I will only have four. It feels good to have a plan for a sensible indulgence, as opposed to a 'it's Christmas, what the hell' kind of plan.

I made gluten-free (from a mix) and vegan brownies (to share with my sister). There's extra sugar since I used applesauce instead of an egg (really just need to replace the moisture, though they will be denser). One is PLENTY and I can feel it in my head if I have more. Pumpkin pie filling is a great idea, as it'd be very fatty, made with coconut milk. I still have some cans of pumpkin from Thanksgiving.
