Having your xmas cake and eating it

Back to swimming today...was lovely in the baths..but cold out.....brrrr
Julie our instructer brought some home made xmas cake..was delicious.did lots swimming so did not feel quite so guilty veering off my healthier new year.
Swimming is the best exercise, I believe! Its all the dressing afterwards with a damp body which is the difficult bit! I can imagine the wonderful dark taste of this!

Ooh wonder you didn't sink with this inside you Brenda! It looks rich & moorish although I don't like Christmas cakes & mince pies much. Swimming is the perfect exercise! I swayed from my healthy eating today, what do you do when friends bring big boxes of cream cakes! Say you're on a diet & wont eat, soecially when you are thinner than your friend, would have hated to make her uncomfortable! Back to the healthy tomorrow!

We just finished ours and it was lovely :p And that's why we exorcise . . . so we can eat cake :)

Oh that looks so good. I didn’t make a Christmas cake this year and I didn’t have any anywhere else 😥.

It looks a lovely cake , - nothing like a home made Christmas Cake -- we have finished ours and I have vowed to make a smaller one next year ! I haven't start on healthy eatin yet ! but have cut out the luxuries and am gradually getting back to more sensible eating !!

We finished our cake last week. Heated up with custard, very nice. Nice picture 🙂
@paul10 Does that work? I'm not sure I could stand a priest standing over my chanting Latin 🙂

Looks good, don’t care for Christmas cake too much, icing & marzipan are the best bits!

Lovely! I’m sure it was the perfect pick me up x

look delicious. I have put a small Christmas cake we were given into the freezer for some other time. Have cut out most of these things from my diet over the last six months and managed to lose 10k so dont want to slip up.

Well done you.!

Christmas cake is still a wonderful thing, eh? I am trying to lose some poundage too......Hairy Dieters cookbooks are brilliant. Super proper food full of flavour Worth a peek if you have never tried them. Dieting without it feeling like you are!

Such a deep dark fruit cake. I bought a fruit cake for Christmas, but it is still in the tin.

@casablanca
Ooh need to try those then...sounds my sort of dieting! Love them boys too.

We still have ours un-cut in a tin on the fridge! Wonder if it will keep until December??
