Friday, 31-01-25

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys.  At present, I am working to reduce my 'bad' cholesterol through diet, particularly using the Mediterranean way of eating.

I got on those scales at group for the fist time in about eight weeks this morning and . . . I was pleasantly surprised.  Yes, I had a gain, yes, I am outside of my happy zone, for sure, but it was better than hoped and not unreasonably far away from what I want to get back to.  Taking it slow, sensibly and steadily, I ought to be back by the end of February.

And now I have access to the app tools, I have checked my Cook's order and, yup, do-able with Slimming World.  I thought they must be but it is nice to know for sure.  
What I ate today:

I used almost all of the remaining Med mix frozen fruit and it was lovely.
One syn for some chia seeds.
This was the pasta bake.
Two portions of frozen beany mince mix, four healthy extra As.  I had a quarter and grandson, Alex, scoffed the rest - quite a complement from my nearly 27 year old grandson.

So I had one healthy extra A, one syn for the bean mix, one syn for added seeds and two syns for salad dressing.

When it came to dinner I though 'what is my gastronomic soul crying out for' and the answer was 'egg on toast'.
Yes, I overcooked the eggs and there's no speed in sight but it was just lovely!

Two healthy extra As

Summary:
one healthy extra A
two healthy extra Bs
five syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit, seeds and yogurt

L:  cheese and chutney toastie, salad; fruit

D:  not sure yet.

Exercise:  SET online.
