Sunday, 23-03-25 Confession.

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.

Apologies for last night's non-appearance.  I was tired, not feeling great and (or because) after I came out of the theatre (watching a filmed live showing of RBOs Romeo and Juliet) it was half an hour until the bus arrived and I was cold and hungry and fell into the trap of going to the Tesco at the bus station and buying - let's be honest - utter cr*p and pigging the lot through the evening instead of my carefully planned dinner.
I felt really low about it but, after a bad night sleep and digestion wise, I have picked myself up, given myself a talking to (still not feeling great, either physically or mentally but it will get better), spent an hour reusing what I prepped for yesterday so not today's meals are all sorted and prepped and we move on.  I'm just very glad the blood pressure readings and the blood test are all done and dusted.

I can't be the only one who does this from time to time, can I?

Please read the stuff below as if this was posted yesterday evening.  I wrote most of it before going to the ballet.
What I have eaten today.

The breakfast smoothie was lovely.  I blended together 20g oats, a tsp chia seeds, a good splodge or two of 0% yogurt, some water, frozen nectarine and cherries and fresh strawberries plus sweetener and just let it sit for ten minutes or so for the oats to thicken.
It was delicious and it was filling and will be great on those hot summer days that are coming.
Yes, they are!
Three syns for the oats (I am having my B for lunch) and one syn for the chia seeds.

The lunch time toastie was chutney, cheese and some shredded lamb.  Really delicious!
One healthy extra A, one B, one and a half syns for the chutney and one for salad cream in the coleslaw.

I'm not going into details about the evening - too triggering.

Line drawn (again).  
Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  tomato and lentil soup; fruit

D:  lamb pasta bake with sprouts and broccoli
(using the roast lamb I defrosted and am certainly not going to waste

Exercise:   I cancelled circuits but will try and do something this afternoon.
