Wednesday, 29-01-25 and Thursday, 30-01-25

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.

Sorry about yesterday - I goofed come the evening (see below) and was so tired after the meeting I was at that I scoffed and went straight to bed.

Weigh in for the first time in two weeks and I reckon I have gained ten or eleven pounds since before Christmas.  I'll know for sure tomorrow.
What I ate yesterday and today:

Yesterday:
The fruit was blackberries, raspberries and pineapple.
One syn for chia seeds.
Nothing special but very tasty - apart from the tomatoes which I am close to throwing out, they're so watery.  I won't, that would be a waste, but I will probably fry them in a little evoo until they are all thick and gooey and all the water has evaporated away..

One healthy extra B and two syns for the avocado.

I was out in the evening and, stupidly, went to Morrisons after the meeting and bought (and ate) rubbish junk.  Sigh!

Today:

After yesterday's slip up, I had a bit of an upset tum ( served me right!) so skipped breakfast.

Lunch was the Cook's roasted veg and chickpea curry because I had thawed it out for yesterday's dinner.
I've been told the syns of the three meals I've had from Cook's and this one is four syns so that's OK.

It was delicious.  Not hot, just spicy and loaded with good things.  The sauce included lentils so I decided not to have any grains but I do like a dollop of yogurt on my curries and chillies.

So lunch was four syns.

The liver, bacon and onion, by the way, was four and a half syns and the tagine was three and a half syns - all very SW friendly.  I should have access to the SW site again after weigh in tomorrow.

I had planned in a pasta bake for dinner but then realised that's what I'm doing tomorrow for lunch.  I just wanted something simple and 'honest' so beans on toast it was.  And it was delicious!
One syn for some brown sauce in the beans and a healthy extra B

Today's summary:
no healthy extra Asa
one healthy extra B
five syns


Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit, yogurt and seeds

L:  cheesy pasta bake and salad; fruit
I have grandson, Alex, round for lunch.

D:  If there's any leftover pasta bake, I might have that.  Otherwise something simple like marmite on toast or egg on toast or something like that.

Exercise:  online class
