Christmas Challenge, day 5

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to my Christmas Challenge, 2024 where I try to give as much festive vibe to my everyday food as I can with the aim of staying on my healthy Mediterranean focused meals so that weight gain is minimal and I remain healthy.

Weigh in tomorrow and I am not confident but I missed last week's so really ought to do tomorrow's.  Ho hum!  
Why is it that when you feel unwell, you nibble on unhealthy stuff?

Re yesterday's extra bit, I located buckwheat groats on Amazon, ordered yesterday and they arrived this morning.  Cheers!  Now to locate recipes that will work with SW and the Mediterranean vibe.

What I ate today:

I was short of time to have a breakfast so I had an apple and a pear - no photo and syn free.

I had a friend round so this is just a quick snap of the table.  It was a soup from the freezer with grated cheese, croutons and seeds and it was lovely.

Dessert was an easy peeler.
One healthy extra A, one healthy extra B and one syn.

Later on, I had another couple of easy peelers.

The steak for dinner was delicious.  I have to say, Aldi does a lovely steak.

No room for dessert.

One healthy extra A, three syns for dressing and one for mixed seeds.

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

five syns
