 Good evening, everyone.

One photo for Thursday.

Breakfast was fruit
Lunch was out with a friend.  I chose a brie, bacon and cranberry burger which was very nice but HUGE.  I brought some of it home with me.

And this is dinner.  I wrapper to burger in foil to reheat in the airfryer and I used the max crisp setting to crunch up the chips.  I had planned to use the beans anyway; they were leftovers from another meal.

The next four days are not going to be days when I can either plan or take photos very easily so I'll be back Tuesday evening.

Have a great weekend, whatever you choose to eat.  xx

Wednesday, 3-12-25 (posted Thursday morning)

Sorry about yesterday (Tuesday)

Today (Wednesday) has been really busy so not much in the way of photos.  However, here we go . . .

What I ate today:

Breakfast was fruit - an apple and some easy peelers.

This was lunch and the only photo.  
Beans on toast.

I was at a meeting in the evening (there were refreshments - ooops) and when I got home I just had some cheese and crackers.

Thursday's plans:

B:  fruit

L:  my friend and I are out for our Christmas lunch.  I'm having brie, bacon and cranberry burger.  SW friends, it aint!!

D:  I'm hoping I will be so full, all I will want is the rest of the baked beans on toast.  Fingers crossed.

Monday, December 1st

 Hi, all.  The last days have been SW/healthy eating car crash and there was no point sharing any of it - it would not have been helpful at all.

However, the weekend is over and I need to embrace the gain, get back to accountability and do something about it.  So I'm back . . .

What I ate today:

Breakfast was porridge with yogurt, banana and mixed seeds with a drizzle of berry coulis over.

Half a fibre for the oats, another bit of fibre for the seeds and one swip for the coulis.

The last (I think) of the chicken, lentil and black bean soup for lunch and I had a cold baked potato to use up so I cubed, sprayed and air fried it.

Afters was an apple.

One swip for the soup.

The fish from the freezer was smoked and had been in there for longer than I care to admit.  Long overdue for eating, shall we say?
I baked some smoked haddock and some smoked basa in foil in the air fryer.
I softened some onion and mushroom in spray oil before adding ginger and garlic and some biryani spice mix before adding half a pouch of pepper rice, some peas, some leftover salad (toms, pepper and a bit of mixed leaves and some grapes.
I carefully folded in the chunked basa and lay the haddock on top.

Really nice but way, way too much - so that is breakfast sorted!

Afters was some grapes.

One swip for the rice and I think that was it.

Tomorrow's plans:

B: a sort of kedgeree with the left overs plus an egg and, maybe, some bacon

L:  cheesy beans on toast

D:  I think I will turn the rest of the pouch of rice into something a bit like fajita chicken

And fruit

Exercise:  Groove class and the walk there and back, weather permitting.

 Posted Thursday morning . . .

What I ate today:

A bowl of yogurt and warmed apple, mango and blueberries for breakfast - delicious!

I made another all in together soup - five portions!

It was delicious!

Sadly, I went all picky in the evening - bad me.  No photos of my badness though!

Tomorrow's meal plans:

Brunch:  I made tuna fishcakes and never ate them so I must have them today, topped with egg and with tomatoes on the side.

D:  hot pot - another portion of that soup with potato slices on top.

And fruit.

Good evening, everyone.

What I ate today.

Breakfast was fruit.

There's the bottom half of half a sub hidden under the bacon and egg and the tomatoes are pretty much the last from the garden that have been ripening inside.

One fibre for the bread.

Dinner was the other half of yesterday's potato topped pie and, as often, tasted better than yesterday.

I had an apple for afters.

One calcium for cheese in the mash.

Plans for tomorrow:

B:  fruit (probably warm) and yogurt

L:  cheese on toast

D:  I have some mash left so I am going to make tuna fishcakes with assorted veg

And fruit

Exercise:  It's personal training tomorrow.

Good evening, everyone.

Today's food.

Breakfast was fruit

Lunch was eaten out.  I had a lunch portion (i.e. small and just perfect) of fish and chips which came to around 550 calories in total.  No idea of swips, of course.

And here's dinner.  Underneath the cheesy mash (one calcium) is carrot, cauli and peas (frozen mixed veg) plus leek and parsnip and some leftover chicken.  The sauce was chicken stock from the carcass thickened by Oxo chicken and herb stock powder that thickens as well and is a free food on Slimming World.  There's another portion for tomorrow.

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  fruit

L:  bacon and egg sub (half sub, I mean) with salad

D:  other half of the potato topped chicken and veg pie

And fruit

Exercise:  Groove

Sunday, 23-11-25

Good evening, everyone.  After yesterday, it has been a bready day for me today!  Two sourdoughs and one on my mixed flours and seeds yeasted loaf.  None for me though!

Today's meals:

The avocado I hoped to use was beyond the pale and only fit or the food recycling, unfortunately.  Fortunately, one of the new ones felt soft enough to use and so it was.

I didn't cook any bacon - it wasn't needed.

so one hats and one fibre.

The last of the soup that had everything but the kitchen sink in it.  No cheese on top - I forgot - but I did add some chicken.

One swip.

This was lovely.  I roasted a chicken crown so it will do me for a few meals.  One and a half swips for cranberry sauce and the rest is speed/free.

I had some skyr baked apple yogurt afterwards - one swip

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit before circuits

L:  I am out with a friend so no idea but I will try to be sensible

D:  potato topped chicken pie and vegetables

Exercise:  Circuits
