Good evening, everyone!

In conclusion, the things that have really helped me on my SE journey are:

Planning - why and how

Research

Flexibility and mindset
Enjoyment

End of waffle for now.  😁

What I ate today:

I do love this breakfast so much.

One healthy extra B for the bagel and two and a half syns for the avocado.

Tomato and red pepper soup is tasty anyway but when you use passata you made from your own garden grown tomatoes and froze, it just lifts the whole thing so, so much.
Colourful too!

One healthy extra A for cheese and one syn for mixed seeds.

Later on, I had an apple and an easy peeler.

I found this recipe, lemon chicken cous cous, on the SW site although I changed it a bit.  I didn't have broccoli so used green beans, I had a bit of carrot, cauliflower and parsnip left over from Sunday lunch so I added that, I used more lemon juice and zest than it said and there's no way I would let leaf coriander anywhere near something I was going to eat.

It was scrummy!

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B

three and a half syns

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  fruit and yogurt

I have yogurt to use up so why not.
SW:  one syn for some mixed seeds

L:  cheesy egg salad sandwiches, finger salad; fruit

I want this to be a thick old sandwich so will hard boil two eggs and them mash them up with some grated cheddar and some salad cream.

SW:  one healthy extra A, one healthy extra B, two syns for salad cream

D:  gammon, egg and chips

Rather comforting, this.  I'll see what veg I have to use - it might be a side salad.  I'll use some olive oil for the chips because air fried chips are much crispier for a bit of proper oil - and, you know, healthy fats, etc.

SW:  two syns for a tsp oil

Exercise:  gardening and maybe a walk
