 Hello again!

One of my Christmas things was this - nine little boxes, each box containing five tea bags.  I'm treating myself to one a day and I'm really enjoying them.  I've never been much of a tea drinker so this has surprised me in a nice way.

So - while I was shopping in M&S yesterday (their f&v lasts for ages) and saw they had some boxes of twenty 'tea'bags for a pound, so 5p a go.  There was quite a choice and I got spiced apple, lemon, ginger and ginseng, and strawberry and raspberry.

One of the nice things is that they work by themselves - no milk needed - and I'm looking forward to making them part of my liquid intake.  I was staring to have too much coffee and thinking about cutting down so this will help.  Do you like fruit 'teas'?  Which ones?

Yesterday's photos:

Not great to look at but so delicious.  Everything was good and ripe and I very much enjoyed them.

Lunch looked more like breakfast but it was tasty.

And then . . . and then I lost it again in the evening.  Where do motivation and determination go to as the day progresses.  I suppose having a sore jaw didn't help but really that's no excuse.

Another day, another start!  

Today's plans:

B:  honey yogurt with fruit (apple, pear and orange)

Now, I didn't intend buying honey Greek yogurt, I meant to get plain and it wasn't until yesterday that I realised it wasn't plain.  It's M&S 0% fat Greek style yogurt with honey.  So I scanned and checked and the whole 450g pot is six and a half syns which I don't think is too bad.  Also, it tastes lovely and I can see that it might go onto my semi-regular shopping list from now on.
I'll have 150g per portion which will be two, two and two and a half syns so today I'll make it two and a half and the other two portions can be two each.

SW:  two and a half syns

L:  Spicy bean and veg soup; cheese and onions toastie, side salad; fruit (easy peeler and kiwi)

All home made and, I hope, very tasty.
SW:  one healthy extra A and one B, one syn for the soup and, if I have mayo on the salad, one syn for two level tbsps

D:  hunter's chicken, a few chips and a salad; yogurt (natural plus skinny syrup)

Self explanatory, I think.  The chicken and the chips are all home made/cooked.

SW:  one healthy extra A and one B

Body magic:  personal training with Lindsey

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

four and a half syns

plenty of protein and free/speed fruit and veg

Please keep your fingers crossed for me today - I'm getting worried.
