Friday, 15-10-21; Fish Week 2, day 6

 Morning!
Weigh day today and, to be honest, I'm dreading it after this week.  I considered making my excuses but, as I'm on the social team, I can't let Jen down.  To be fair, that was one reason for helping out more - so I HAD to go; I know what I can be like.
Oh, well . . . sooner done, sooner over and I can move on down the road again.

I'm not having a 'naughty meal' this week.  The syns are a bit higher than usual but still well within plan and I'd like it to stay so all week.  Half term is looming (one week to go) and there's a family birthday coming up that week plus, traditionally, it's the time I start prepping Christmas goodies (for the freezer or to mature) and there's bound to be a few nibbly times.  After all, one has to taste seasonings etc - seriously.

Yesterday's meals:

A nice, satisfying, old fashioned plate of scrambled eggs on toast and it was lovely!

The ready meal for lunch was more than I thought.  However, the green beans weren't nice, being undercooked and a bit stringy.  The potatoes were OK but a bit too soft inside.  The chicken was nice though and quite a decent amount too and the sauce was quite acceptable.

Later in in the afternoon, I had a pear.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the kedgeree recipe but it was really very nice indeed.  I decided on a salad to go with it and the two went together very well.

As always, it was a yogurt for dessert.

Today's plans:

B:  bacon sandwich with mushrooms and tomatoes
It's usually pancake or waffle day, isn't it, but today I really fancy a bacon sandwich so that's what I'm having.
SW:  one healthy extra B for the bread and up to one syn for either chutney or sauce.  The mushrooms and tomatoes are both speed

L:  M&S mini meal lamb hotpot, other veg; fruit
This isn't a Count on Us meal but M&S very sensibly produce a whole load of 'Mini Meals', like their main range but in smaller sizes, very suitable for a smaller appetite.  While I can't say my appetite is smaller, the size is perfect for a lunch or dinner with added veg and the one I've tried so far was OK.
SW:  the mini meal is five syns (and 244 calories), the rest is free

D:  fish, cheesy chips and peas; yogurt
All home made/cooked and today's bit of rebellion is that I'm going to use panko breadcrumbs to coat my fish.  I suppose it's not that rebellious really as I will syn them but you know what I mean.
SW:  panko breadcrumbs will be four and a half syns for 25g (I may not need that much, I will see), 30g grated cheddar is one healthy extra A, some mayo for one syn and the yogurt is half a syn.

E:  the usual calf exercises, maybe a walk.

Summary:
one healthy extra A
one healthy extra B
twelve syns

Fish: cod
From the freezer:  cod, bread, mini meal lamb hotpot, peas
