Good morning.
Well, a swimming slot did ping through yesterday but too late for me to take it up, sadly. Never mind, I have one booked for tomorrow and one can hardly say I am not exercising at the moment.
I seem to be accumulating a lot of freezer meals, mostly home made, at the moment so I'd better blitz them for a few days.
What I ate yesterday:
For breakfast, I skipped the egg and the tomatoes and had extra bacon in the muffin. Very tasty with some bbq sauce top and bottom.Lunch was a picky plate. The roast beef pate (paste, really) was delicious.
A very tasty dinner. The pease pudding pastry top was scrummy with its added cheese. The top went crisp but underneath remained 'fluffy'.
Today's plans:
B: fruit salad and yogurt
I have strawberries and blueberries that need using up and I might get some frozen pineapple out of the freezer too.
SW: speed and free
L: Swedish meatballs, plant based rice/noodles, side salad; fruit
The meatballs are from the freezer and should be perfect after a gym session.
SW: one and a half syns for the meatballs and sauce ad one for the noodles
D: pizza, salad; yogurt
Something both easy and tasty. It will take me outside syns but not outside calories so I'm not worried.
SW: twenty four and a half syns (482 calories) for the pizza and half for the dessert
BM: Wednesday is usually personal training day but Lindsey is on a course so I will have a go in the gym with the scary machines. :-) I'm also going to Cressing Temple with a friend so that will be a nice, leisurely walk.
Summary:
no healthy extras, although there will be some cheese on the pizza - it kind of compensates for the horrendously high syns (given one syn = 20 calories, the healthy extras account for eighteen syns/360 calories, more or less)
twenty eight and a half syns
Lovely sounding meals Joy. I'm looking at the Keto diet and find it fascinating. Not as a long term thing but just to shift a few pounds for the wedding then I will be back on track just eating sensibly.
ReplyDeleteI've looked at keto but it didn't grab me really. Maybe is I had a deadline but I don't. I gather it can be highly successful though.
DeleteTo be honest, what really worked is a flexible SW (taking calories into account) approach. I need to feel 'excited' about my meals. It's when the meals feel boring that I stray.

I still haven't got round to trying the pease pudding pastry. It's on my list! xx
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice although I do feel bad about calling it 'pastry'. It quite obviously isn't! :-)

Thanks, Laurie xx
