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

Tomorrow, all the fitness classes start again for which I am very thankful.  I do try to keep the motivation up but it doesn't always go from intent to action.  Bad me!!

What I ate today:

Yesterday (Saturday), I realised a fair bit of the fruit in the fruit bowl was going a bit 'over' so I chopped it all up, added a bit of extra stuff ,added some lime juice and made a nice big bowl of fresh fruit salad which I intended finishing off today.

So I had some for breakfast and it was delish!

Half a syn for chia seeds in the yogurt and one syn for mixed seeds - I'm doing my best to get fully back to my Mediterranean vibe again now!

How I enjoyed this lunch - leftover Christmas lamb, roasties, onion. parsnip, carrot and sprouts with gravy made from lamb stock.  Oh, and mint sauce.

I had more of the fruit salad for afters.

Two syns for gravy and one for mint sauce.

I weighed out some nuts for a late afternoon snack.  Six syns.

And my favourite for dinner - a cheese and chutney toastie with leaves and a coleslaw made with red cabbage, carrot and a few grapes dressed with my salad dressing.

Afters was some more grapes

One healthy extra B, one and a half healthy extra As, one and a half syns for the chutney and three syns for the dressing.

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

fifteen syns - so right at the top.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  egg on toast with leaves, etc, on the side

L:  broccoli and butterbean soup; fruit

D:  herby chicken potato topped pie, assorted veg; fruit

Exercise:  circuits, squats and balance
