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.

The first sampling of the sourdough discard crumpets I made the other day and just wow.  I will be making them again, for sure.
I used a rye sourdough so am counting it as a healthy extra B.  Discard is 50% flour, 50% water so it works more or less - maybe a little less than a B but I'm not fussing.
One healthy extra B

I had made some wholemeal rolls and I taste tested one for four syns (because I can't call it a B!)

Lunch was a soup from the freezer - I've nearly used all my freezer soups now which pleases me.  I wasn't the biggest portion in the world so I also put together as nibble platter.
I had an orange for afters.
One healthy extra B for a cheese triangle in the soup.

Dinner was lovely.  The other half of the chunky sauce I made yesterday which did have lamb in it - I must have added the lamb before splitting it into two portions - so I didn't add beans.  I cooked some broccoli, added it to the veg and lamb sauce, poured over a portion of the cheesy white bean sauce and topped it with cheese before baking it in the oven.  It was so, so good.
I had some grapes for afters.
Two healthy extra As (for cheese and the bean sauce), half a syn for a few olives and I think that was it.

Summary:
two healthy extra As
one healthy extra B
four and a half syns
Tomorrow's meal plans:

B:  fruit

L:  Mediterranean salad; fruit

D:  cheesy tuna jacket potato with side salad; fruit

Exercise:   personal training
