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:

Not a great photo in the late winter sunshine but you get the idea.  Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries with chia seeds in the yogurt.  Lovely!

One syn for the chia seeds.

I enjoyed this - a conventional choppy salad topped with turkey, chickpeas, croutons and the rest of the lemon-Dijon dressing.

I had a couple of little easy peelers for afters.

One healthy extra B and four syns for the dressing.

Dinner was the last portion of the cheesy white bean sauce with fusilli mixed through and spooned on top of some savoury mince that I did in the slow cooker today.
What you see on the plate is half of the portion and it was plenty so I have the other half for either tomorrow lunch or to go in the freezer.

I added more cheese to the sauce and it made it perfectly cheesy and delicious.

The sauce was one A and one and a half syns.  The rest was speed and free.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B

six and a half syns

That's more like it!!

Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit, yogurt and seeds

L:  leftover cheesy mince pasta bake with a side salad: fruit

(it was going to be soup)

D:  pizza chicken with veg; fruit

I saw this on our local SW Facebook group.  Basically, you flatten out a chicken breast fillet, cook it and top it like a pizza and then pop it back in the oven for the topping to cook/melt/whatever.  It looks really nice

Exercise:  Groove and the walk there and back.
