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.

What I ate today:

No photo of breakfast but it was just some fruit.

The Welsh rarebit for lunch was really nice and why I haven't made this before is beyond me.  I just used one and a half healthy extra As worth of cheese, one egg yolk and most of the white, some mustard powder and some pepper all mixed together, spread on bread (toasted on the underneath) and popped under the grill until browned and cooked through.

One and a half healthy extra As, one healthy extra B, one syn for seeds in the salad and half for some fake dressing (still using it up)

Later on, I had an orange.

Dinner was a cheesy corned beef bake - a better name than a corned beef hash, I think.  I drained, dried and cut up the contents of a small tin of potatoes and roasted them in the air fryer using spray oil.

I fried some onion, mushroom and tomatoes, adding garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes.

I cubed half a small tin of lean corned beef.

In an oven proof dish I placed the vegetables, cubed corned beef and browned potatoes and topped it all with some grated cheese before popping it back in the air fryer until it was piping hot and the cheese had melted.  It was really tasty.

I had some grapes afterwards.

Half an A and three syns for the cheese, two and a half syns for the corned beef and that was that!

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

seven syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit, yogurt and seeds

L:  roast lamb dinner; fruit

D:  cheesy lamb toastie, salad; fruit

Exercise:  rest day
