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 have eaten today. 

My first efforts at sourdough starter waffles and, yes, it works.  I added a bit more rye flour to some discard plus an egg, some yogurt, some baking powder, some water and flavourings (vanilla and sweetener) and they came out really well.

I'm calling it one healthy extra B because I am sure it was more than 20g flour

(I call wholemeal/grain flour a B for 40g.  Not SW canon)

Someone in our SW group tried a crustless quiche whisking cheese triangles into the egg and said it was really nice so I thought I'd give it a go and see.  I included onion, peppers and mushrooms from last night and made coleslaw and a mixed salad.  

The cheese triangle will either be one syn of a bit of a healthy extra A, depending on how much cheese I add to the lasagne (already one A).  I had one syns worth of mixed seeds, Half a syn for chia seeds in the egg mixture two syns for evoo on the salad and one syn for salad cream in the coleslaw, total of five and a half syns.

I had a mid afternoon snack of four syns worth of raw cashews

The lasagne was from the freezer, I've had it before and it is was healthy extra A.  

Afters was an orange and a small easy peeler.

One syn for the coleslaw and another healthy extra A for more cheese.

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

ten and a half syns

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  oat smoothie

Blended fruit isn't supposed to be free, you should syn it.  I don't because it contains lots of good stuff - oats, yogurt and fruit, and they are all measured amounts.  And it's a meal, not a snack or a 'drink'.  But that's just me - it's not SW canon so decide for yourself.

L:  toastie, salad; fruit

My usual Sunday evening meal and I will reserve some of the roast lamb to have in the toastie.

D:  roast lamb dinner; fruit

Using roast lamb from the freezer

Exercise:   rest day
