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.

A very satisfying breakfast of rye pikelets, a poached egg (done in my mini pan but in boiling water rather than spray oil),  leaves and tomatoes.

Half a healthy extra B for the rye flour in the pikelets (not SW canon).

I was going to use some of the roasted lamb from the freezer but I bought some nice sliced chicken from the deli on Friday which needing using up so the lamb can be for another time.
With it I had some cranberry sauce, hm with sweetener so I'm not counting it (I don't count cooked fruit - my  choice), some roasted parsnip and lots of speed veg.  I love my veg . . .

Syn free.

A lovely, cheesy jacket potato for tea and I cooked some edamame beans with my lunch veg to add to the salad and some puy lentils to make it more heart healthy/Mediterranean!  We won't mention the salad cream, OK?  😉

The jacket potato had half a for salad cream and two healthy extra As of grated cheese, the coleslaw had half a syns worth of salad cream and I added three syns worth of salad dressing.   

I topped up my B with some mixed seeds instead of fruit for afters.
(I have some of the bean and lentil mixture and some of the coleslaw left for tomorrow.
And I decided I could afford four syns for some alcohol free Beck's Blue

Summary:

two healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

eight syns
