Hi, everyone!  Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys.  I have managed to reduce my 'bad' cholesterol by eating according to Mediterranean principles and now I want to maintain this.

Apologies for yesterday.  I just took a day off photo-ing, etc.  No, I wasn't sulking after gaining one pound at Slimming World, I was just really weary, kept falling asleep and just - well - couldn't be bothered.  So sorry.

I did photo dinner - hm pizza and coleslaw.  NOT on plan and the base is definitely a Work in Progress but it was really nice.  A shame about the indigestion.

Back now, back on it, back to basics of SW and Mediterranean principles and on we go!

What I have eaten today.

For breakfast, I had scrambled egg on a wholemeal crumpet with tomatoes and mushrooms on the side - really tasty.

One healthy extra B

For lunch, as I had some baked beans left over, I baked a potato, scooped out the potato and mashed it with seasoning and two cheese triangles, loaded it back in and tried to brown the top - not terribly successfully, as   you can see.  I had this with a salad and the left over beans.  Very simple and filling.

Afters was an apple and later on I had an orange.

Half a healthy extra A for the cheese triangles, one syn for mixed seeds and two syns for evoo in the salad dressing.

For dinner, I made my favourite chicken penne arrabbiata.  There was some coleslaw left over from yesterday so I had that on the side.

Three syns for half a tsp olive oil, one and a half syns for olives and half a healthy extra A for some grated parmesan.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B

seven and a half syns

Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  Sourdough waffles, fruit and yogurt

L:  roast turkey dinner; fruit

Exercise:   rest day
