Morning, everyone.

Getting back on track isn't as easy as it could be and yesterday was a bit of a struggle.  However, I will fight and I will win!!
It's really helping that Cherie is on a similar journey to me with a similar goal and target.  A buddy always helps and here's to us, Cherie!!

Yesterday's food:

Breakfast was scrambled eggs on toast.  No photo because Suzanne was still here but it was delicious.

A total change of plan for lunch because I realised I had plenty of bits and bobs left from the holiday so I blew my healthy extras with ryvita, some brie and some onion cheddar plus a few garden tomatoes.  I wasn't going to waste the cheese - it was flippin' expensive for a start - and it needed eating up.  The brie was trying to escape!!

And then I went and forgot to photo dinner.  I didn't make loads in the end because I am hoping to have some stuff left over from today's lunch.
It was just the pasta bake as described yesterday but without the cheese on top because - well, lunch!

Today's food plans:

B:  fruit and yogurt
I won't photo breakfast as I'm having it in dribs and drabs.

SW:  speed and free

L:  roast chicken dinner; fruit

I have a chicken crown that I got for when Alex comes over and that's today!  With it I'm having roasties, roast parsnips, carrot, sprouts and broccoli.  I will probably spend a few syns on some chutney to go with the chicken and Alex will have gravy.

SW:  one and a half syns if I have chutney

D:  Moroccan inspired chicken and chickpea thingy, couscous; yogurt

OK, I know this sounds weird.
In Sainsbury's, I saw a little pot of Moroccan Style paste which I got.  I have chickpeas left over from last week which MUST be eaten.  I will have chicken left over (I will make sure I do).  I have plenty of veg.

So I will use the paste (not on the SW site so I will use the '20cals=onesyn' formula), a selection of veg like onion, peppers, baby corn, etc, the chicken, some chopped tomatoes, some dried apricots and some couscous and fingers crossed, eh?

SW:  a quarter of the paste is one syn, all the other ingredients are speed or free and the yogurt will be half a syn while 60g dried apricots is one healthy extra B

E:  another lazy day, I fear - back to normal tomorrow

Summary:
no healthy extra As (but I had enough yesterday to cover today too!)

one healthy extra B

three syns

Please send as much motivation and will power as you can possibly spare!!  Many thanks.
