Good evening, everyone!
What I ate today
Breakfast was apple and plum - cooked but not synned (!) and the yogurt had chia seeds and mixed seeds. So nice.
One and a half syns for the seeds
I went over to a friend's for lunch and she very kindly took me out to Sconch at Blake House Craft Centre, just outside Braintree.
I went for a goats cheese and red onion chutney panini and it was lovely - not too much cheese, not too much chutney, just right for me and the coleslaw on the side was dressed with evoo, lemon and garlic (I asked).
I am calling the cheese my healthy extra As (plus what I put in my burgers for dinner) and the bread my B although is isn't really, being white, not wholemeal. It wasn't a huge panini though - again, just perfect for me. And the coleslaw wasn't drenched in dressing so I am guesstimating three syns.
And then dinner was a couple of tuna and bean burgers (without the bun). I roughly blended the tuna and beans left over from Monday, added a bit of leftover potato and some grated cheddar plus half a small beaten egg, garlic and onion granules, a bit of tomato puree and some black pepper, mixed it all well together and shaped two patties. It was delicious.
I made chips for Alex but didn't want any myself, preferring a nice, fresh salad.
A bit of an A for cheese, two syns for spray evoo to cook the burgers and two syns for evoo in the dressing.
Summary (sort of)
two healthy extra As
one healthy extra B but not really!
at least eight and a half syns, probably more.
My meal plans for tomorrow:
B: fruit mug cake with yogurt, fruit and mixed seeds
L: mushroom omelette, salad; fruit
(edited to swap breakfast and lunch round because it makes more sense that way)
D: fish, salad and, maybe, chips; fruit
Exercise: rest day
Taking a break from Christmas Strategies to show why I need strategies.
I took a stroll through the rest of my diary for this year and - oh, dear!!
lunch with a friend that was today
afternoon tea with Beth and Alex (at mine)
Saturday walk and lunch at a pub
coach trip to the Musical Museum with afternoon tea
Christmas Tree day (a family tradition)
Christmas wreath workshop (with refreshments)
afternoon tea at the County Hotel with fitness friends
coach trip to Rochester Market and Dickensian Festival
lunch out with a friend
girls' night at the Harvester
coach trip into London for fish and chips and a tour of The Lights
lunch with a friend (at mine so that will be easier)
taster session/party and Slimming World group - this, at least, will be on plan and not a challenge.
I didn't realise I had so much planned in and an awful lot is food centred. When I look through, the main challenge will just be temptation; I do actually have control and I do have strategies. That is reassuring.
Goats cheese and red onion chutney is one of my favourite food combinations. Especially battered goats cheese (as they used to do in a pub I visit) but don’t tell my SW consultant!
