Good evening, everyone.  So, here we are, pretty much half way through May.  Time really is flying, isn't it?    We're only a month and a week away from the longest day - now I find that hard to believe!!

I'm not going to make my aim of being back in target range by the end of May but perhaps I can be back into single digit stones by then.  I'm giving it my best shot anyway and also really enjoying the meals I am making.  Win-win!

How's it all going for you?

What I have eaten today:

I made the guacamole with avocado chunks, tomatoes, red onion, chopped cornichons, lime juice and avocado topping from Just Spices.  The rest is what you see - scrambled egg, bagel, leaves and tomatoes.

One healthy extra B and two and a half syns

Salmon for lunch and this is the recipe I used, slightly adapted because of what I had and didn't have in.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQMT22hHzgU

It's self explanatory really.  The wholemeal; breadcrumbs were one syn, the parmesan was a bit of a healthy extra A, the olive oil was two syns, the mayo was one syn and a little honey was half a syn.

It was very tasty indeed.  It would work well with other fish too, not just salmon.

Dessert was a couple of east peelers.

I decided to make dinner pasta carbonara instead of spaghetti simply because it is easier to eat!

The sauce was the usual egg and grated parmesan with a bit of pasta cooking water and I softened/reheated onion, mushroom, peas and some cubed pork plus seasoning.  I finished it off with lemon juice and zest and sprinkled a but more cheese on top.  Very satisfying and filling.  No dessert needed but I did have an orange because I love oranges!

The parmesan was the rest of my A choices and the rest was syn free

Summary:

two healthy As

one healthy B

seven syns.
