31-12-24 - New Year's Eve

Hi, everyone!  It is still the Christmas season round here and will continue to be so until Twelfth Night, so I make no apologies for the ongoing Festive vibe in here. 

Having said that, I am trying, somewhat unsuccessfully, to get back on track.

Well, almost I managed two on-plan days on the trot - I am trying not to use value judgements like 'good' and 'bad' days but on-plan sounds very micro managed.
Mind you, I suppose that's what it is until I get back into targets range again.

What I ate today:

This might look a bit of a mess but it was really nice.  I evoo roasted yellow pepper, mushroom and tomato and added some bacon bits for the last five minutes.  Topped with a little brown sauce, it went down a real treat.  

Half a syn for the sauce and two syns for the evoo.

All leftovers from yesterday.  I wasn't sure it would work putting lamb hotpot and beans together, but it did!

I'm going to say one syn for the bit of spray oil on the potato slices.

More leftovers for dinner - a portion of the lamb and Christmas veg pasta bake with some coleslaw made with what I could salvage from a manky cabbage, carrot and apple with a mayo mustard dressing and some crunchy salad mix.

One A for cheese, one syn for mayo and half for mustard.

I'm not gpoing to do a summary because there were a few nibbles later on, sadly.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  smoked haddock, tomatoes, mushrooms and an egg

L:  sausage casserole with quinoa - both found while sorting put the freezer

D:  It is New Year's Day, of course, and I have the family here for dinner.  I am doing pizza, salad, coleslaw, etc with fruit afterwards.  Semi-on-plan!!

Exercise:  housework, one of Lindsey's videos on YouTube.

The Extra Bit:

It's New Year's Eve and, inevitably, thoughts turn to the weeks and months ahead.  I've got some aims relating to health, fitness and food that I will be sharing with you tomorrow and which start Thursday.

I will just say that I have started a new freezer audit and there's no excuse not to have a healthy and low spend January, given the amount of protein stuff I have tucked away in there.
