 Good morning, everyone.

When I did my early morning shop yesterday, I particularly looked out for that ketjap manis sauce in M&S and there it was, next to the soy sauce, less than half the price I'd have had to pay on Amazon.  So I got two bottles (they're not huge) and, having looked it up, will be paying one and a half syns per level tbsp.  I doubt I'll usually need that much; it's quite strong and intense.

What I ate yesterday:

A most satisfying breakfast.  Sometimes I fancy something less 'heavy' like yogurt and fruit and sometimes only bacon, etc, will to.  Yesterday it was the latter - two medallions, one skinny sausage, skin off and reshaped into a patty and a (spray) fried egg all in a toasted muffin with bbq sauce top and bottom.  Plus the obligatory tomatoes and mushrooms, of course.
I added a syn to the total because it wasn't an Aldi skinny sausage, it was a posher, 'low fat' kind instead.

This was lunch (plus an extra bowl of soup for Beth.  Yes, you've seen the photo before, I forgot to take one yesterday but it was exactly the same as Monday's lunch so I used that photo again.  The soup's all finished now and how we both enjoyed it!

Not a very good photo, sadly, but dinner was a good meal.  The sliced chicken is sitting on a bed of roasted butternut squash and onion with some oil and balsamic vinegar dressing and some crumbled feta. and has a bit more feta and dressing drizzled over.  It sounds simple and tasted wonderful.

Today's meal plans:

B:  boiled eggs and toasty marmite dippers; strawberries

Nice and simple, clean and tasty

SW:  one healthy extra B for the toast, two syns for two tsp of half fat butter

L:  chicken with roasted butternut squash, feta and rocket

This is the second portion of last night's meal.  I may have it cold but more than likely I will warm it up.

SW:  one healthy extra A for the feta and three syns for olive oil in the dressing.  The rest is speed/free/protein

D:  Singapore rice noodles with chicken and prawns, side salad; yogurt
I made the rice noodles last week, if you remember, and it made loads so I was able to freeze two portions.  I will warm up one of the portions and I have spicy chicken and prawns so will add them.  I'm also going to add some ketjap manis sauce - it might now be as much as a level tbsp, I will see.  I will have a small salad of mixed leaves on the side.

SW:  one syn for the rice noodles, up to one and a half syns for the sauce and half a syn for the dessert

Body Magic:  It is personal training today but, as I've got my second vaccine just after nine, I'll see how I feel.  Lindsey knows and will be fine if I need to cancel.  She's rather not have a poorly client over.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B
