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've been so impressed by the deliciousness of the Cook's frozen ready meals that I've put in an order to pick up from our local shop on Saturday (so I can call it next month's budget!).  I've indulged in . . .

Chicken Dijon

Liver, bacon and onion x 2

Lemon and herb chicken

Hoisin duck noodles

Jerk chicken with pineapple salsa

Prawn noodles with mango and coconut

Teriyaki salmon noodles

They're all under 400 calories and, with veg or a salad, should make very satisfying and tasty meals - fingers crossed.  Got to give them a go anyway!

By the way, I meant to post this early because of being out all evening but didn't have the time so, as often, please pretend this is Monday, OK?  
Thanks.

What I ate  today:

Brunch:  some of the tomato, pepper and lentil soup and a mushroom omelette.  Nice and filling.  I had an apple for afters.  I had planned some croutons but then realised I'd used two Bs for bread and hi fi bars and that was more than enough.

I had an apple for afters.

One syn for the soup and one for the mixed seeds on top.

Here's the packed tea I will be taking with me to eat on the coach.

From left to right - two easy peelers and some grapes, a tuna and cucumber sandwich and two hi fi bars (I won them in last week's raffle) and some tomatoes, carrot and yellow pepper.

A bit of a healthy A for the cheese triangle I spread on the bread instead of butter (you need something or the bread goes soggy), a healthy B for the bread, one and a half syns for salad cream in the tuna and that, I think, is that!

Summary:

a bit of a healthy extra A

two healthy extra Bs

three and a half syns plus they give out a sucky sweet on the way there and a bag of crisps on the way back.  I should stay within syns overall though.

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  apple, orange and pear

L:  some sort of hm soup, croutons, mixed seeds; fruit

D:  creamy chicken and veg potato topped pie, broccoli and sprouts

Exercise:  Groove
