Good morning.

No photo today because I forgot to take one but dinner was jolly tasty.
I had 100g of cooked chicken from the day before.  I sizzled a bit of onion, red pepper and mushroom in a bit of spray oil, then added the chicken and about ten 'baby spinach' leaves and while that was all cooking, boiled some tagliatelle - too much, must've weighted wrong - and when that was all cooked I added some light soft cheese with garlic and herbs to the chicken and veg mixture plus a few tbsp of pasta water before adding half of the drained tagliatelle and a bit of Maldon salt.   It was so nice and made plenty!

I've had to change the weekend meal planning so I set to and planned from this Friday up to next Friday so no excuses.

And after feeling a bit 'bunged up' and, remembering that the instructions on the diet said constipation might be a problem, I bought some fibogel, as recommended, this morning whereupon, when I got home, things magically 'unbunged' themselves.  Oh, well, maybe it will come in useful at some point!
(apologies if it's TMI)

On to today - I have a portion of tagliatelle to use up (about two carb portions)!  So . . .

B:  porridge with natural yogurt and a bit of stevia
L:  lentil soup and two boiled eggs.
D:  was going to be a veggie burger but I think now I will make a sort of bolognaise with 100g mince and an assortment of veg plus the left over tagliatelle.  Then a fruit yogurt
Ss:  two apples

From the freezer
the mince for the bolognaise

The frugal factor
Now I'm not adding fruit to my porridge, it's more frugal than ever.
Lentils are great value and eggs is eggs (as the saying goes)
I'm using leftovers for dinner and the mince is strictly measured out.  Just a shame I can't add lentils and oats to the mix but there you go!

Weigh day tomorrow.
