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.

Monday, 24-11-25

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

Saturday, 22-11-25

Evening, everyone!

What I ate today.
I had an apple before going into town.

The sourdough demo was good and there was food to enjoy - fresh bread with hummus, roasted red pepper hummus and whipped avocado with hot spiced honey.  It was so good.

Obviously not on the SW plan but all fresh made and very delicious.

A slice of the nut roast load made yesterday with fresh veg and some spicy sauce.  Delicious!

Back on it tomorrow - I have to!

So - tomorrow's plans:

B:  bagel with avocado and bacon

L:  soup from the freezer, grated cheese on top

D:  roast chicken dinner

Exercise.  Rest day.  

Friday (posted Saturday am)

Morning, everyone.  Didn't manage to post last night so here we are on Saturday but mostly written Friday.

Friday's meals:

It was a busy morning and I just had fruit.

This was lunch.  Toast for half a fibre, avocado for a healthy fat, topped with a dry fried egg and tomatoes on the side.
Afters was an easy peelers.

Alex was over to do some cooking with his old Nan (aka me) so that involved a certain amount of picking and tasting which I couldn't have swipped, even if I had wanted to.  What with that and a bit of dry white stuff, I'm just accepting that the day ended up off plan and back on it today.

I was so tired, I couldn't be bothered to make what I had planned so used up my calcium and  some swips on cheese on toast.  Perfect.

So a day off plan but it was really nice so no regrets and no recriminations.

Saturday's food plans:

B:  I am out to a sourdough demo this morning so I will have an apple earlier than usual

L:  there may be samples at the demo - we will see.

D:  nut roast with a tomato sauce and salad or steamed veg.

Exercise:  a walk

Another day when it is going to be hard to apply SW values so it is a case of 'be careful, be sensible and do the best you can.

Thursday, 19-11-25

Good evening, all.

I had almost forgotten that I have so many recipe links on a page that can be accessed from the tab at the top.   I've just updated it with the arancini recipe and will go through and check all the links over the next week or so, just to make sure they are still live.

Please feel free to take a look.

Today's meals:

I had an apple, a pear and a banana during the morning.

Then a lunch that looked like breakfast - pretty much a healthy extra fibre.

During the afternoon I had a measured amount of mixed nuts - they don't go very far, do they?   :-)

This was dinner - two swips for a drizzle of sriracha mayo and two for a few sprays of avocado oil.

And that was it.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit

L:  Alex is round - I will probably have avo and something on toast

D:  bacon and mushroom pasta carbonara

Exercise:  a walk

Wednesday, 19-11-25

Good morning, everyone!

Today's meals:

I went out this morning and when I got back it was almost lunch time so I just grabbed an apple and some grapes.

Lunch was more of the Sunday soup with added chicken.  Very filling and swip free.

Steak, chips, mushrooms and salad for dinner.

Half of a healthy oils for avo oil on the steak and the air fried chips.
I also has one of those mini bottles of Merlot for five swips (90-something calories).

I also had some nuts which came to around two fibre choices.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  beans on toast

D:  salmon and roasted vegetables

Exercise:  personal training
