Definitely back into the swing of things now which is a great relief. I changed things a bit yesterday as I found a frozen meal which ought to be used up which messed up the balance a bit but no real problem.
The lunchtime toastie was particularly tasty.
So - on to today's plans . . .
B: bacon and tomato, fruit
A nice, lazy Sunday breakfast. I might add an egg to that too, or maybe a couple of heck chicken sausages - or both, even! I've had the sausages in the freezer for a while so it's about time they got used. I'm hoping to resume my early morning swims this morning so it will be a nice thing to come back to afterwards.
SW: Heck sausages - the ones I have got - are half a syn for two
L: ham paste and salad sandwich, fruit
- using the ham paste I made on Friday
SW: the bread (or maybe a wholemeal pitta instead) is my healthy extra B amnd the ham paste is one syn
D: Christmas leftovers pasta bake, natural yogurt and pineapple
This is me adapting a SW recipe called bacon and spinach fusilli. I'm using sprouts instead of spinach and Christmas pasta shapes instead of fusilli and I shall add extra veg such as mushrooms and peppers to bulk it out. Also, as I haven't used any healthy extra As, I shall sprinkle over some grated cheese. It should be tasty.
SW: if I have cheese, 30g is one healthy extra (I might have more). The rest of the ingredients are free.
Ss: Just raw veg and fruit
It is actually a relief to get back on plan (in SW terms). I've been very off-plan for a few days but hopeful of not too large a gain at weigh-in tomorrow. I had naively hoped I might manage a maintain. No chance of that!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the new allowance of 2 x A choices? I wish it was 2 x B. That's my biggest struggle - keeping to one B. I love improvisation (your pasta bake) as it creates all manner of interesting meals. The only trouble is that if I make it up as you go along, I often never get to eat exactly the same thing again because I can't remember all the ingredients!
I totally agree - it's a huge relief to get back to normality. Whatever the weigh in results, I'm sure it will even out again for you very quickly
DeleteI like the new allowance. It works really well for me and if I need more bready stuff, I syn it. My syns are quite low anyway so it isn't a problem.
I know exactly what you mean about reproducting a great taste again. I try to make notes if it's particularly good but, as I never really measure the free food, it's a bit of this and a bit of that (as you may have noticed). Not terribly informative really! :-)
