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.

Weigh day tomorrow.  I'm confident I have lost a bit so no worries.  :-)

It is also a taster session so I'm taking fruit and yogurt because that's my usual breakfast and it is delicious.  If it doesn't all get used up, I can bring it home again.  

What I ate today:

The usual, the fruit being blackberries, raspberries, mango and pineapple, all from the freezer.

One syn for the chia seeds in the yogurt.

The broccoli stem and butterbean soup, slackened with a bit of milk, was absolutely delicious.  It's funny that you add protein and fibre (butterbeans) and get cream!!

I had an apple and some grapes later on.

One healthy extra B (croutons), part of an A (milk) and one syn (mixed seeds).

A very tasty hunter's chicken type dish (using a bit of hm tomato, pepper and lentils soup for the sauce) and a good salad.

Dessert was two easy peelers.

One and a bit As for cheese, two syns for seeds and two for some evoo in the dressing.

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

six syns

Tomorrow's plans:

B:   taster session at SW group

L:  cheese and chutney toastie, salad; fruit

D:  chicken Dijon, chips.

Another Cook ready meal, a bit heftier at seven and a half syns but it can be an Eat Your Syns Friday!  It comes with veg as part of the meal.

Exercise:  rest day
