The usual breakfast, the fruit being raspberries, blueberries, a plum and a pear.
One syn for chia seeds.
A really delicious tomato, pepper and lentil soup. I use a good quality can of chopped tomatoes (Mutti) and some sun dried tomatoes and they really made a difference to the flavour.I have two more portions of soup and one to use as a pasta sauce, all in the freezer.
Afters was an orange.
One syn for the soup, one syn for mixed seeds and one healthy extra B
The bread was more than one B and I baked a loaf, sliced it and ate the bits that fell off. Well, I wasn't going to waste them, was I? I reckon it all came to another B so I'm having two Bs today.
The sliced bread is now out of temptation's way in the freezer.
And then I lost it - again. Not saying any more but oh, dear, I really feel bad about this. Start again and have a think about why.
Moving on . . .
Tomorrow's plans:
B: sausage and mushroom omelette.
Maybe I need to start the day with something light but warm at the moment rather than the fruit and yogurt.
L: Moroccan lamb tagine, bulgur wheat, side salad; fruit
The second of the Cook ready meals I am trying. Still no idea of syns but the calories are OK - 307 - meaning that even with the bulgur wheat and salad, the whole meal will be below 500 calories
D: cheese and chutney on toast (as almost always on Sundays), side salad; fruit
Exercise: rest day
Red pepper makes a lovely soup. I haven’t used it with lentil but I do use lentils in a lot of dishes.
ReplyDeleteI also lost it yesterday. Having gained a pound at SW I went home full of new determination and then, inexplicably, crash! It might help if I only knew the reason why this happens 😡☹️😡
Yes, it would. I find it very frustrating! Wishing us both a better week ahead.
DeleteI love the tomato and red pepper mix and I find lentils gives it a bit more substance and filling power. I think using better quality tomatoes and the sundried tomatoes made a very big difference to the flavour too. xx
I want to lose 10lb by 1st March which is doable. I know it is as I have done it in the past but struggling at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI’m going to be colouring in each half pound on my little chart.
That's a fair old challenge but I always think if you miss the actual target, you are still well on the way and that's important. Good luck with it and enjoy colouring in your chart - I find something like that very helpful. xx
DeleteGood job for putting that bread in the freezer so that it is not longer tempting (as tempting maybe!) You may have slipped a bit but kudos for immediately making plans to make the next day awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely thing to say, thank you so much, Maryfran. How encouraging. xx
