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 the Mediterranean way of eating.

Monday again and two thirds of the way through January and what do I have to show for it it terms of getting rid of the Christmas gain?  Absolutely nothing.  So frustrating.

I'm obviously not giving up . . . this has happened before; it seems to be a sticking point for my body but knowing that doesn't make it any the easier to have patience with.

Oh, well - keep smiling!

On the plus side, I went back to circuits today and my back behaved itself, thankfully.  It's still feeling much better as I type this, Monday evening.

What I ate today:

The usual.  The fruit was raspberries and a pear and you can see the chia seeds in the yogurt.

One syn.

A nice, simple roast dinner.  I didn't bother with Yorkshire puddings.

Afters was two easy peelers.

Half a syn for a bit of horseradish sauce.

Later on, I had an apple.

Dinner was a toastie to use up some of the leftover beef.  There's not loads but there's enough for a couple of meals.  With it, I had a big old mixed salad with seeds and dressed with balsamic vinegar.

Afters was an orange - the Morrisons big oranges are lovely at the moment.

One healthy extra B and two As plus one and a half syns for chutney and one for seeds in the salad.

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

four syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  the usual fruit, yogurt and seeds

L:  toast, smashed avocado, smoked salmon, side salad; fruit

D:  baked fish on roasted Med veg; fruit

Exercise:  Groove and the walk there and back.
