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?
