Good morning!

Today isn't an SP day.  I've done two and the third will be Thursday.  Other days might end up accidentally nearly SP but that's as may be.  :-)

Nor is it intermittent fasting today as the timings just don't work.
However, every day is a Slimming World day and today is no exception!

Yesterday's meals:

This was so delicious.
The omelette was two eggs, beaten with some sweetener and some vanilla essence.  The fruit was raspberries, strawberries, a plum and some blueberries and I mixed a bit of caramel with the skinny syrup.  So good!
It would have looked better if I could have shaken some icing sugar over it, don't you think?

(I know I * could * but what a waste of syns!)

Loads of salad veg for lunch.  I measured the hummus and it's around two and a half syns.

Then I had a couple of easy peelers.

Dinner was the Caribbean pepperpot stew and I was very pleasantly surprised.  The spice mix was delicious and this is one I will make again, definitely.  Basically, you can add what you like, use the spice mix for seasoning and cook it long and slow - perfect for the slow cooker.

I finished off with a kvarg.

And then I sampled an alcohol free 'gin' and bitter lemon.  It was actually surprisingly nice and I had a second one so that was five syns (two and a half per 100 mls to make a long drink with the diet bitter lemon.  As syns are not a challenge this week and I'm still well within, it's not a problem.

Challenge:

no alcohol

sixteen speed foods

two SP days so far

Today's plans:

B: pancakes or waffles, fruit and yogurt

The same as usual, I just have to decide which healthy extra B to use, zizzed oats, wholemeal flour or oat bran.
I'll have to have this early so I can get to the pool between meals - I don't want to swim on an empty stomach.

SW:  one healthy extra B and half a syn if I have a Mullerlight

L:  salmon and salad; fruit

Just a piece of baked salmon and I might make a little drizzle of lime and mustard

SW:  half a syn for mustard, if I use it

D:  spag bolognaise, cheese, side veg; yogurt

. . . using some cooked mince from the freezer, maybe with added peas and sweetcorn.  The spaghetti is wholewheat; I like it so much more than white spag.  

SW:  one healthy extra A for cheese and half a syn for yogurt

Exercise:  I think a swim today.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B

one and a half syns

From the freezer:

fruit

salmon

cooked mince

peas and sweetcorn
