Yummy Hot Cross Buns!

As Easter is approaching we need to face the facts that Hot Cross Buns will be part of the menu.

Firstly, it is essential that the buns are of excellent quality. There is no room to waste calories on eating anything sub-quality. This is absolutely essential!

Secondly, be prepared to cut back on other treats during the day (don't forget, it will be worth it). For example: You could have a warm, lightly buttered hot cross bun for morning tea, but skip dessert in the evening.

Mmmm delicious!

Those Special Occasions...

Hmmm...I'll have a little bit of this, oh and a lot of that...and oh why not? It's my birthday???

What's my real opinion on splurging on special occasions?

Well, I think you need to make sure that you don't have "special occasions" every weekend...and I also believe that you need to be prepared that you will have to expect the scales will go up instead of down at your next weigh in.

I do unfortunately believe that you still need to show some restraint and pick your calories that you want to spend. I know, even as I write this I am pausing because restraint and splurge don't really go together.

If you can save calories on either side of the "occasion", then great, if not...remember...tomorrow is another day!
