Hi, everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys.

What I ate today:

This was pretty filling.  A wholemeal muffin, toasted and filler with a couple of bacon medallions, an egg and a small squirt of brown sauce.  The side had a simple dressing that is half evoo and half acid (a mix of citrus juice and vinegar).

One healthy extra B, half a syn for sauce and one syn for dressing.

Lunchtime soup may not look that amazing but it was delicious and very filling - and syn free.  I had a hm fruit salad and yogurt for a dessert.

All syn free.

Later on, I had a nibble of leftover cheese.

One and a half healthy extra As

And a few nuts - six syns because I had already used my B

I got the recipe from BBC Good Food - steak and mushroom stroganoff - and just tweaked it to work with SW and what I had.  It was delicious.  At the bottom of the bowl was neither rice nor potato, it was bulgur wheat and it went very well.

One syn for some mixed seeds in the salad, two syns for some evoo and one for a bit of flour and that, I think, is that.

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

eleven and a half syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  roast lamb (Christmas leftovers), roasties and veg; fruit

D:  cheese and chutney toastie with salad; fruit

Exercise:  squats and balance
