Sunday, 12-06-22

Good morning, everyone.

I have grandson Alex around for Sunday lunch and I've defrosted a rather large boneless pork joint is roasting long and slow so it more or less falls apart if a spoon so much as looks at it.  That will see me through next week for cold meat.

Yesterday's meals:

Such a tasty breakfast and so, so easy.  I'll definitely be making this again.


I'm glad I got the soup used; it was too nice to just chuck away.  And that's the end of the ham too.

Next week's go-to meal is pork (see above) so I'll have to look up some ideas.

I then had a lovely big, juicy orange.  It was scrummy.

Later in the afternoon, I had an apple.
Dinner - and very nice too - it tasted sort of Mediterranean (whatever that means).  Dessert was a toffee Mullerlight.  And that was that!


Focus areas:
Syns in meals, not in snacks:  Fine - my snack was an apple
Regular swimming:  Yes
High speed/protein, lower syns (under ten):  Yes
Today's plans:

B:  Fruit salad with yogurt
Lunch will be enormous so I'm having a lighter breakfast.
SW:  one and a half syns for 100g 5% Greek yogurt

L:  roast pork, apple and onion sauce, roasties, veg; fruit
The pork is already slow cooking and I have to make apple and onion sauce to go with it.  Al loves his roasties but I might have Jersey Royals instead.  I'll probably do broccoli, carrot and roasted squash and sweet potato (I do love roasted veg) and a gravy for Alex.
SW:  just a few syns to sweeten the apple and onion sauce but I will use eating apples so I won't need much - real sugar is nicer than sweetener in this context.  The rest is protein, speed and free.

D:  pulled pork pasta, salad or leftover veg; yogurt
The idea is to make just a basic pasta dish using some fresh tomatoes, onion, pepper and mushroom and add some shredded pork (there will be leftovers, for sure - even Alex can't get through so much meat) before adding in some pasta and sprinkling some cheese over.  Nice!
Thinking about it, I believe I have some SW-friendly bbq sauce in the freezer  if I do, I will add that as well.
SW:  one to two healthy extra As for cheese and half a syn for yogurt

Exercise:  an early morning swim maybe?

Summary:
one to two healthy extra As
no healthy extra Bs
four syns

From the freezer:
pork
maybe some veg
bbq sauce?

  1. I've been AWOL over the past few days. Hubby in hospital again - have had some shitty news so coming to terms with that. Will be back soon, hopefully. Will be reading even if I don't comment. Take care. x
